The last 45 on-ice seconds for Joe. Here's hoping he's back for another year.

I was at this game. The majority of fans remaining at this stage were wearing red. It was wonderful.

Not so wonderful was that many Avalanche fans were booing their own players, Sakic included.

Sakic and Roy made me an Avs fan when I was a kid. They were my 2nd favorite team growing up! He was such a beast!

Fitting that it's against Detroit. You almost forget that Sakic was part of the Avalanche team that was huge rivals with the Wings.

@SinCity0929 Yeah, because comparing an original 6 franchise with an expansion franchise is completely fair. The Wings have, what, four cups in the past six decades? 7 of them came before 1956.

@SinCity0929 don't you have a trashcan to warm your hands over or something?

[SinCity0929]

@uberkrunkninjagod Yeah, because our 11 Stanley Cups are nothing compared to your 2? I totally see what you mean.

still makes me cry :( the best! Captain Joe
