Sad news for the league. As you said, he was pure class on and off the ice. Hopefully he'll end up in hockey in some capacity, he'd be great working with the Player's Union and the League, both sides have so much respect for him, as they should.

Congrats on a great career and on going out on your own terms, Joe!

Joe has been my favorite player for the past 15+ years and I am real sad to see him go, but happy at the same time.
He is a perfect example of how hockey players should act on and off the ice. I cant say anything that has not already been said, but it was a pleasure watching him play over the past many years, and I will miss it.
Great resume he has too. :)
Two of the best #19's ever are now retired, Sakic and Yzerman.

In about the last 15 years, Sakic definetely had the best wrist shot I had ever seen.

Already eager for the new season. There was an article in the Winnipeg Free Press this AM ripping Canadiens GM Bob Gainey for his policy of not negotiating contracts mid-season, and how that always costs big names to leave. It was a great read, and very true. He could of traded Sheldon Souray, Mark Streit, Saku Koivu, Alexi Kovalev for some 1st round picks perhaps, but they all went their sepereate ways.

I will for sure be taping Joe Sakic's jersey retirement ceremony, as well as the Winter Classic in Beantown.
