Joe Sakic Night MHH Preunion at Old C's

OK, since Mike @ MHH can't do this, and DDC is too jealous to do this, and Joe is too busy learning how to chase ambulances to do this, here is a new thread for the MHHers going to Joe Sakic night. As a fanpost instead of a fanshot.
I think a rough count so far of folks planning on meeting at Old C's is up to about 20. Jibbles may look into reserving some space if Old C's will do that. Happy Hour is from 3-6 PM and includes some half priced appetizers and $1 off of drafts. I'm thinking of trying to get there by around 4:30 to beat the rush. Everyone needs to be in their seats at the Can before 6:45 to honor our captain.

I can’t give you too much crap. My wife gave me the whole meeting a strange woman from the internet speech at Frozen Fury. If it wasn’t for the fact that we are traveling to Denver for this, and that we have to eat, she might not be so inclined to go either. Though the fact that we are looking at Old C’s is a plus in her book.

Hey sorry about the delayed reply…busy as everliving everything.
We store your gear in a locker room then after the game the entire group is meeting outside of altitude authentics. You’ll see us there before the game checking in all the players and taking their gear and tagging the bags.
We already have three goalies (I am the third wheel because I dare not miss this opportunity LOL) but could use 1-2 more skaters. There’s always a huge group of family members and friends that stay and watch and make fools of the players LOL. It’s good times for sure. We even get to use the PA system lol.

My daughter would be fine, my toddler is another question. I’m not sure he’ll even make it through the game.
My in-laws are a short 4 hours away and that trip is a pain still. He’s like me, he hates having to sit still and he hates being cramped in a vehicle.

yea, we’re driving. but we drove out here from Wisconsin for the week to catch Frozen Fury and take a week’s vacation. 10.5 hours to Denver should be nothing…won’t have a 2 year old in the car tho.

So uh
I’d like to extend an apology to everyone coming from out of town for the game. I totally work at a hotel and easily could have gotten you discounted rooms but I didn’t think of it at all until last night. Of course, I work at a Best Western (AKA “meh”) and it’s in Aurora, so unless you were planning for being close to the airport, it isn’t really that convenient.

I will also be keeping DDC company by watching the game from the couch, or a computer chair. That Chicago-Denver thing just doesn’t work for me. But again, I’ll be at the game in Chicago on the 10th…it’s not Joe Sakic night, but the Hawks home opener against the Avs could be good right?

I’m also gonna be keeping DDC and Chives(easier to remember and spell) company on the couch/computer chair/bed although due to a timing snafu it’ll be delayed so I probably won’t keep them company and rep the live telecast at home but rather the delayed telecast when everyones asleep.

I’ll probably even wear one of my Forsberg jerseys on Thursday because I don’t own a Sakic jersey. However, I’ve always said that Sakic has been the MVP of the franchise over the years, while Forsberg is probably one of the top 5 players in the history of the game that I’d pay to see play.
