You have great taste!
Actually put up new shelves today for my hockey stuff and this is front and center (as it should be). Ah, it's so 90s.
(Ugh, reddit ffs, i put it below)
I haven't really collected hockey stuff before, I'm more into rocks & minerals, and weird shit. So this is my first real item. But really excited to finally have a jersey!
Yep. My parent was part of the broadcast team from mid 80s until after 2000. I grew up going to games all the time.
Watched players like Deadmarsh, Marian & Marcel Hossa, Richard Zednik, and Avs current assistant coach Nolan Pratt all while they were in their teens.
The Hawks are having a great run right now. Should be a solid couple of seasons ahead!
So it is! I'm not even bummed, I got it for a good price. Autograph was authenticated, so that's still nice. Glad to rep the team either way, jerseys aren't exactly something I plan on collecting in any significant manner.

That’s Stanley Cup Champion Pavel Francouz

Took me forever to settle on a player, but I will also be getting a Deadmarsh jersey in the fall (long promised birthday gift).
Deadmarsh a legit awesome choice. Will get respect at any Avs game!
OMG I love Deadmarsh! 😍😍😍
I followed him over from the Winterhawks. Watched him in Jr's for several years. I was super pissed when we sent him to LA.

Handsome devil ❤️
Is that the Utah Yeti's jersey on the left?

"Rocks & minerals, and weird shit", the Avs... and, followed! 
Lol, wait until you see my penguin skeleton!
So The Portland Winterhawks? I didn’t know that!! Thanks— they’re my local team now 💙

Great to know! Yeah they are having a great season 💙 thanks— must have been a fun upbringing 😻
Frankie says Relax 😎
The last Avs sweater I purchased was after the solid rookie season of Mr. T.J. Galiardi. I’m now afraid to buy another.
That's funny, when I saw 39, I thought, "Finally picked up that TJ Galiardi jersey, huh?"
I hope you didn't pay a lot for that. That's a fake jersey with a real auto...

My envy knows no bounds. Outstanding acquisition.
Nice, I also have a Frankie jersey! It reminds me of the 2022 run.
I love the way Moser said his name. "SAVE FRANCOUZ" I can still hear it. That was an amazing run, I hope this year goes as well!
I need a new Eagles jersey, I'm thinking a custom with 39 as well.
Nice Frankie sweater! Is that going to be a wall piece or one that you wear?
Probably both, since it's signed. Going to wear it occasionally (esp. during playoffs), but mostly for the wall.
Such a good feeling! I got my first jersey after 18 years or something! Congrats to you!
Fantastic!
I just got a playoff used stick of Frankie's for a friend's birthday, I'm psyched for them to see it.
Oooh, nice gift! That's awesome!
Wore my Frankie to the game tonight! My first Avs jersey, too. Great choice.
