wack song for a joe sakic video

[liberatedsage]

Oh Yeah! Joe WILL be inducted into the hall of fame one day. True story.

I've always been a Redwing fan and miss one of the greatest rivalries in Hockey between Detroit and the Colorado. Joe Sakic was a class act and a superstar and that team with Forsberg and Roy were one of the best ever. Nice to see him just get that hole one.

[HardcoreGodz]

wrong choice of song...

[paulwall1981]

@oscarovegren.Yes those players are good as well. But for me Sakic was with the same club for 20 years and he showed amzaing loyaitly to stay with just one team. I wihs his the very best now he is not playing.

[oscarovegren]

@paulwall1981 Peter Forsberg, Patrick Roy and Adam Foote then ?

[paulwall1981]

When you talk about the Avalanche in the ealry days. There was only one man you would talk about. Joe Sakic. A legend in the world of hockey and a sure fire Hall of Famer. Dose any one agree with this?

[GilbertsV1]

Can you imagine Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy, Ray Bourque, Teemu Selanne, Adam Foote, Milan Hejduk, Alex Tanguay,. Peter Forsberg all in the same team ?? It happens young folks, try to see old school stuff from the end of 90s and beginning of 2000s, it was the best era of Hockey !!!
