We'll Miss You, "Super Joe" Sakic!!

[SMLCHNG]

Best of luck on your retirement. You WERE the heart of the Avalanche!!!

[ph4ever]

DAMB HE'S CUTE!!!

[Frank4]

One of the true gentlemen of the NHL...I loved watching him play hockey. Talk about a guy who was the face of a franchise-him, Forsberg, and Roy. He will be missed

Hockey in Denver won't be the same without Joey Sack!

[Skibo]

He was a great player. I didn't realize he was that old.

DAMB HE'S CUTE!!!

Hockey players are hot! They just play a boring sport.

Thanks, er, I think. Unfortunately ladies, I'm married. And so is Joe.

He was/is a classly player. A true "lead by example" kind of a guy. He will be missed. And, we should thank the Washington Capitals for trading the draft pick that was used by Quebec to draft Sakic.

Sail on......er......I mean best of luck

Joey Sakic was always a class act and I had the utmost respect for him. I remember him playing for the Nordiques against my Habs...those games were always classic.

For the life of me though, I can't see how anyone can call hockey boring.

I actually thought he was a little bit older.

Three Cheers for Super Joe!

What a great player and class act! We've been spoiled having him on "Our" Team all these years!

He WILL be missed!

[buffettbride]

Joey is "my man." He has been my favorite since we got the Avs. His son and my daughter are the same age. I'm hoping I can be related to Joe someday!

I'm so sad that he is retiring, but I don't think he can realistically recover from his hand injury (stupid snowblowers).

I'll miss you Joe!!!!!

[TheSecretsInTheCrust]

The man played with TOTAL CLASS

I'm another Michiganian who "doesn't get" hockey. But most people think I'm boring because I love baseball...which has a tendency to move slower. (Any you get a better look at the cute players because the uniforms don't cover them all up) A nice summer day...outside at the ballpark....ahhhh! Inside with a rink of ice and stuff moving too fast for me to see....not so much

Thanks Penny for posting this and letting me see what a hockey player looks like

Lots of hockey players are cute! Joe is one of the better ones, IMHO.

Oh, it's okay. Baseball's a great sport too; it is a tad slower pace. A nice afternoon at the ball park is loads of fun. And yeah, hockey players can be a bit ugly. That's usually caused by no facemask, flying pucks and flying fists. Now here's a guy who isn't so good looking (except to his mom):

Mike Ricci is definitely much better with his teeth IN.
