Seeing Earl Sleek’s genius today at AOL’s NHL Fanhouse, I was compelled to rip it off and reprint it here (well, with his permission!).

It’s just too bad that this happens to Joe Sakic of all people. One of the only players that team has ever had that I don’t want to throw under a bus… or a snowblower. ;)

Update 2:40pm PT: It’s been suggested I made a tasteless joke above with the “throw under a bus” phrase. It was not intended to be a joke referring to Sakic’s history. I actually had no idea about that accident before now (or if I once knew about it, I’d long since forgotten). I was just using it as a general expression. My apologies to those who were offended.
