Given Sakic’s retirement last Thursday, it is only appropriate to show a video of the top 10 Joe Sakic Moments as produced by The Sports Network.
Sakic is truly a classy individual and one of the most revered and respected player to play in the National Hockey League. Often referred to by the media as “Quoteless Joe”, he said all he needed to on the ice. [Faceoff.com]
He was “Quoteless Joe,” as Sakic jokingly called himself over and over at his retirement Thursday. He let his play do the talking for him for two decades, and arguably nobody ever had the combination of speed and hands. Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, big Jean Beliveau and Steve Yzerman had the hands. Mark Messier had the speed, but Sakic’s patented play where he would roar down the right side, a left-handed shooter, and effortlessly slide around a flailing defenceman, then whip that wrister under the crossbar, was a thing of beauty.
Enjoy the video!

I will miss Sakic! He reminded me so much of Yzerman I even teared up when he announced his retirement and I am NOT an Avs fan. His leadership and the way he stood by his team through out 2 decades is dedication to the team, the City, and to the NHL. I still hope Stevie asks him for a role of some kind for Team Canada.

@nhldigest I never really thought that Joe Sakic got the credit he deserved. He was one hell of a hockey player in his prime.
