Supposedly, Joe Sakic left the Las Vegas preseason game against the Kings Saturday early. The Denver Post said it isn’t much:

Sakic suffered an injury, but Sunday the Avalanche listed it as nothing more than a minor hip flexor. The Colorado captain isn’t expected to miss much time.

That’s about it. And I say supposedly because there is NO INFORMATION about the game. I know the preseason doesn’t matter, but getting info piecemeal sucks for those who do care. At least that should end soon.

Tonight is Red Wings vs. Avs, at the Pepsi Center. I still don’t have a game to go to, so it may be this one. It seems weird to be disappointed in going to an Avs/ Wings tilt, but I kind of am. One of the fun things about my previous job was being able to travel around and see teams I had never seen in buildings I had never been to, let alone ever heard of. I would rather go to a Plymouth Whalers game and buy a program from Christy of Behind the Jersey, or the Hartford Wolfpack and try to find Brushback from Sidearm Delivery. You know what sounds fun? Sitting in the cowbell section of a Rockford IceHogs game. They mount multiple cowbells to sticks there, I presume for a good and noisy beatdown. I had a great time at my one game there. Even got the two Hog mascots to sign my puck. I don’t think I’m up for the hype and volume of an NHL game tonight. Take what you can get, though.

Now that I think about it, it would be fun to put a little sidebar element where you could put your teams game up (locally to Colorado, of course). Getting people out to any game is part of the deal. Hmmm….
