Joe Sakic to retire

It's a sad day in the Muggsbow household. My all-time favorite hockey player is finally retiring- as the active career leader in points no less. Sakic's truly been one of the most under rated and under appreciated all-time greats and has always been a class act. Sorry to see him go.

Joe was one of the greats.....in a way I am glad to see him go because he was holding one of the training camp spots for team Canada for this winter....like I said Joe was one of the greats but I hope team Canada goes young for these games and not the old boys club that they took to the last ones.

so what I mean? Under appreciated...
IMO, Sakic is the greatest "Class Act" in NHL history. A real champion and a great person. Although....I will always think mostly bad things towards him for ALL THE FREAKIN' SNIPING HE DID TO THE SHARKS OVER THE YEARS!!! !@#@!# !@#!@$!@#:bang:

Also, probably THE most dangerous wrist shot in the NHL through all the 90's at LEAST. That guy had a laser.

I'd say it's the best ever. That thing was ridiculous. That's the definition of sniper and I can't really think of anyone with that quick of a release and that type of velocity.

Brett Hull maybe...but I don't think so.

No, I think you're right. Hull's mastery was the one time slapper from the side circle. Sakic had the TWISTED WRISTER!!!!!!:gun2:

I meant to say Bobby Hull- but he was known more for his slapper too. I think Sakic probably does have the best wrister of all-time.
