Mile High Hockey: For The Love Of Sakic Part II

For The Love Of Sakic Part II

by Joe Thu May 08, 2008 at 05:59:47 PM EDT

Just so you know, Mile High Hockey will be sponsoring the Joe Sakic page at Hockey-Reference.com as soon as "the check" clears and the message is approved.

It's kind of pricey at first-glance but not really that expensive as far as advertising on heavily-trafficked sites goes.

The message will appear as such for a full year.

And if you don't get the reference, watch this. Mike Haynes, get better soon.

UPDATE: Message is now up on Super Joe's page.

UPDATE 2: I'm also sponsoring Mike Keane's page. Message should be up by tomorrow.

I've sponsored SOS' page, but couldn't come up with anything even remotely clever for my message. if anyone (Mike) has any good ideas, I'm open...

      When it comes to Sons of Stastny, let's just say that Yan probably isn't Peter's favorite.
      
      That's probably not very nice.

        Yeah, you're probably right. Four out of five Stastnys have played for the Quebec/Colorado franchise so far, so why not make it 5 for 5?

        Paul Stastny, carrying on his dad's legacy of greatness for the Nordique/Avalanche franchise.
        
        Don't know. Lame? I've always wished the Avs would do more in the Can to honor their Nord past. Like have just one banner up with the Nord logo and the numbers of the players that were retired there. It would even have to mean that the numbers stay retired ... just some sort of acknowledgement.

        My name is Paul Stastny. Peter is my dad. He's like, 90 years old. He played in a different era. If the jerseys and team names aren't good clues that we're completely different people, then you probably should retire Mr. Maguire.
        
        Over the top? I don't think so.

    You can buy it now and change the link and message at any time. The sponsorships are done through a user account so you can purchase multiple pages and edit them as necessary down the road from one central interface.

      I was wondering if you would want to add something about SJoe's clutch performances in the playoffs, including the 8 OT game winners? Keeping the apples ending, of course ...
      
      Yours is fine. I just think that is one record of real signficance and I didn't see it acknowledged anywhere else on that site.

      Any idea who runs this site? I know the guy who runs Hockeydb, and to say that he's a tad lazy would be an understatement. I'd love to see hockey-reference become better and more well-known than hockeydb.

        Sports Reference LLC.
        
        They run a number of similar sports statistics sites.
        
        Right now, the only advantage that Hockeydb seems to have is a more complete record of minor league and international statistics. Hockey-Reference seems mostly oriented around NHL players and once they leave the big league, their statistical histories stop.
        
        Mike Keane, for example, has no statistics for his time with the Manitoba Moose since the Lockout on HR, whereas the numbers are available at HDB.
        
        I've read that they're looking to increase their comprehensiveness as time progresses, and the page sponsorships are going to help make that possible.

        Attacking an illogical argument... (none / 0)
        
        ...is not the same thing as defending someone.
        
        I like more players on the Wings team than I do the Avs. One of the few Avs I like is someone I am hoping they get rid of (again) this offseason, because he serves no purpose for this team. Who I like couldn't be more irrelevant.
        
        I like Budaj better than Theodore. It's not even close. But Theodore is clearly one of the better #1s in the league, and Budaj is clearly nothing better than a backup.
        
        Would you rather watch a mediocre team full of players you love, or a Cup-winning team of players you don't care for? I'd much rather win a Cup than fawn over some douches that I happen to favor.
        
        A desire to win...I guess that makes me "different".

        I never said i hate Theo and want him gone, or that i want a team full of my favourite players even if the team sucks. I said I DON'T Bother defending someone i HATE, which is what makes us different. Not that you want to win and i don't.

        Well, I am more interested in logical validity than defending players I like and ignoring those I don't. I can't stand Brett Clark, but if he were a good player, I'd want him to stick around. I absolutely loathed Ray Bourque, still do and always will, but I was as excited as could be that we got him. Same with Blake.
