- A little bit of blog maintenance today. All the player lists have been updated up to today, so if you're looking to send something my way you should be OK to compare.
- A quick check of the trading card database shows that there are already 14 cards for Joe Sakic in 2016-17 products, including 4 printing plate 1 of 1s. It's seems likely that I'll be chasing Sakic cards for the rest of my life, and then some...
- If that wasn't bad enough, there are 156 cards from 2016 itself, including a boat load from a product I hadn't heard of until today, Leaf Genesis. A lot of those are serial #'d to 1, so that's just a bunch more cards I won't be acquiring for my Sakic collection.

- You ever have one of those old black and white tube TV's back in the 70's where the picture is kind of shadowy? That's what the background of this card reminds me of. No offense to Adam Deadmarsh, of course.
- I'm kind of excited to finally be starting the Avalanche portion of my Sakic collection (I still have two Nordique Crash the Game cards, they'll be coming up shortly). There's a lot of variety coming up, which I'm really looking forward to showing off.
- Bio on the back: "Smokin" Joe Sakic..... I can't say that I've ever heard that nickname for Joe. Super Joe and Burnaby Joe yes, but Smokin is one that can honestly say is new to me.
- Career goal #127 for Joe was scored 1/9/92 against the Boston Bruins. It ended a 12 game drought, however it wasn't enough as the Nordiques lost 5-4, with Andy Moog the goaltender responsible for giving up the goal.
