For the Colorado Avalanche, the numbers right around 20 — 19 and 21 — are very auspicious indeed. Number 21 will always belong to Peter the Great, Peter Forsberg, our Hall of Fame Foppa. Number 19 will always belong to longtime captain, Hall of Fame center and current general manager — amongst other titles — Joe Sakic.
The number 20… not so much. Except in my heart, that is, because some real heart guys have worn the number 20.
The second most obvious player is a man still currently affiliated with the Colorado Avalanche, Mark Rycroft.
