Joe Sakic was this close to feeding pucks to Hully as a member of the St. Louis Blues…

The St. Louis Blues had Joe Sackic up on the docket to draft him start and they weren’t sure if Holly could continue to score at the pace he was. So they wanted to back him with another winger and they got Keith Osborne instead of Joe Sackic. Patty Janelle proceeded to break the table at the draft. Got up, walked away and wouldn’t sit back down with him. Brian Sutter had to go get Patty off the concourse cuz he quit cuz he wanted Joe Sack. It’s come back to haunt them forever. Yes. Joe Sackic would have been a St. Louis blue. Then he would have had another thousand goals. I’d be sitting on 2,000 goals right there. But could you imagine like and was so excited when Joe was available and then not to take him. Just listen to this guy. Oh lord. I’d been around the league for so long. You have a chance to get Joey Kak. I mean, wow. You screw that up. The other thing is unless it’s you on the wing, you you always take the centerman. The center can always play wing. Well, just look look at Wayne and Mario. The schmos. They made 50 goal scores and then you never heard from him

  1. "you always take the centerman" is a risky business unless you are sure the winger in the situation isn't special. it would have given you Kyle Turris w the 1st pick in 07.

  7. Is that Brett Hull? Damn he’s a pork belly…lol. He is my second fave of all time behind The Grinder Mike Grier. Tow different levels but I loved Grier in San Jose with my Sharks. He was a grinding, board checking, goal scoring, do everything legend in San Jo…
