Nobody and I mean nobody, had better draw any parallel to to the situation with Sundin here today. Joe is awesome!
Hopefully he will give us one more chance to see him finish his career with the Aves. If not, it won't be long before his number will be retired also.
Why is it, two of the classiest players to ever strap up the blades both wore number 19 and C's on their sweaters?
Joe will be in the Ave's front office at some future date. I'm sure of it.
Good TD there actually...Joe or Stevie Y...Hmmmm...that's a head scratcher...

There is no parallel between the two. I hope he comes back for at least another season. He's still too good to hang up the skates yet. I've always liked and respected Sakic. Joe is a true class act in a professional sports world where there are so few. I'm not talking about hockey alone but pro sports in general.

Awesome player.. hope he plays. He is an asset as a player and will hopefully be in the front office for years to come.

.... but there is no guarantee the Avalanche captain will announce whether he will play a 20th NHL season or retire.


So ..... what exactly would be the purpose of this press conference? Will he be talking about .... golf? Just curious!

Actually, DCruiser, he will be talking about golf. He and his wife, Debbie, have hosted an event called "Bringing Hope To The Table" in Denver for many years now. Part of the event is a charity golf tournament.

One thing I think we can guarantee... He won't announce that he's retiring today. He may announce, though, that he's coming back, but I doubt that anything hockey-related will be announced.

Get ready guys heres a quote from TSN....Baizley also updated the status of his other prominent Avalanche free agent, Peter Forsberg.

"Peter would like to play if his foot problems are solved, and he's checking away at that." Baizley told the Post.

WT, I think he'll also be talking about your 'do. Evidently everyone in Denver now wants one. I'm surprised T&R hasn't done a story on this.

I told them that I require $50,000 per appearance, whether in person or in a T&R thread. When you look this good, you can't come cheap.

That's actually in this same article. Foppa is aiming to be ready to play around New Year's. We get updates on his status all the time from the Post and the Rocky Mountain News. As big of a Peter Forsberg fan as I am, it gets really annoying.

Not to P.O. baun-ded but why cant you assume the same issues are plaguing Sakic as Sundin? Sakic would be a great asset in anyones front office but Sundin would be the same. Is Sundin vilified because he is home in Sweden and not as accessible? I dont think we are assuming they are one in the same but has Joe been anymore transparent then Sundin? I would argue, he has not. Sakic is a marvel to watch, so is Sundin. Sakic has been in many ways the big shoulders for his teams, no doubt Sundin has carried the Leafs especially in the last few seasons. I think there is hostility toward Mats because he is 3900 miles away and can't provide sound bites or body language. Yes Im a Leafs apologist.

Sakic retires, Sundin signs with Colorado

It's like a weird Nordique dream

That does it, I'm gettin' a fro. Wait, I have hardly any hair on the crown of my head. Can I borrow some of yours? I'll even take the clippings if they're discounted.

No, only WT's $50,000 strands will do. Show me the money!

ouch. then LMAO!

bgm, does SCTV still exist? If so, they should call for you. Hockey Corner you could call it - or The Poutine Express.

Post of the Day to you, sir.

Very good BGM.... Very good.
