Joe Sakic card #55 1992-93 Score #434

• Franchise?  You better believe it.  The Nordiques traded away another franchise player (Mats Sundin) in the hopes of acquiring some pieces to get their team closer to a championship.  The Nords/Avs became Joe's team after that for sure...
• Save for Joe's final season (which was only 15 games in length), Sakic only had one season in which he didn't have a shooting percentage below 10%.  Joe only scored 22 goals in 96-97, maybe a Stanley Cup hangover as the Avs had won the Cup the previous season.
• Joe's 55th career goal came in a 6-3 win over the Flyers on 3/17/90.  It was only the 12th win of the season for the Nords.
