Joe Sakic
- Thread starter SkyRider
- Start date
on a canucks broadcast last week, i heard sakic has been skating again and hopes to play in the avalanches' final two games of the season. one of the commentators questioned why he would bother and the other said he has hopes of playing in the olympics in 2010. if that's the case, i assume he will be back for 1 more season.
He almost didn't have an NHL career. 
(maybe he should hire someone to shovel his driveway)
He should have no problems being voted into the HHF.
He's one of my favs.....hope he plays again next year and in the Olympics.

a tragic story indeed, ray. here's an article on it. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=swiftcurrent
brent ruff was lindy ruff's brother.
wow, the coach was graham james who is best known for sexually abusing sheldon kennedy, and other players. one of the boys who died in the crash described graham james as 'creepy' and a 'fag'. wow.

olympics are february, 2010.SkyRider said:
if sakic had played this past season i'm sure he still would have been close to a point a game player. he had 100 points in his last full season and over a point a game last season.
sakic will never pull a mats sundin. sakic has hockey in his heart. sundin has hockey in his wallet.
I think Sakic knows he should hang them up. His last two seasons have been injury plagued. Even though he is in great shape, the rigors of the NHL on a 40 year old body is too much for most to handle. What a great career though. He is the true Captain Clutch, always elevating his game when it matters the most. Here are his accomplishments:
WHL Rookie of the Year - 1987
Canadian Major Jr. POY - 1988
Conn Smythe Trophy - 1996 (should have won this again in 2001 but they gave it to Roy instead)
Lady Byng Trophy - 2001
Lester B. Pearson Award - 2001
Hart Trophy - 2001
Olympic Gold Medal (Salt Lake City) - 2002
MVP of Winter Olympic Hockey Tournament - 2002
2 Stanley Cup Rings
1641 career points (8th all time)
A shoe in for the HHOF
When I think of class athletes he's right up the top of my list along with Steve Yzerman. Remember when they won the Cup in 2001? Instead of taking the Cup and skating with it first (like all Captains do), he passed it off to Ray Bourque. I'd like to see both Sakic and Stevie Y involved in Hockey Canada for a long time, they just know what it takes to win.
