lafountain Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Normally a retirement announcement during the offseason I would just post in the Offseason thread, but a player of this caliber deserves his own thread. Joe Sakic is done, he will announce his retirement on Thursday. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=4311866 He had a great career and was arguably the Greatest member of the Avalanche/Nordiques franchise in history.

akteon Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I know one board member will be especially bummed about this ... He was a great player and had an impressive career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoom18 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Total bummer, but I'm not surprised. I saw it coming with the way last season went for him. I read (on tsn I believe), his jersey will be retired on the home opener for the Avs this next season. Too bad he couldn't have played in the Vancouver Olympics, but when your body tells you its time, its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
