Joe Sakic Hangs Them Up

I was disappointed to read that Joe Sakic retired from hockey today after 20 seasons. He is one of the all time greats in my mind. He was an excellent player, and seemed like a classy guy. He won 2 Stanley cups, a 13 time all-star, and finished with 1641 points.

It’s too bad in his last season in the NHL he was only able to play in 15 games. He was hampered with a herniated for most of the last 2 season, and broke several fingers when he stuck his hand in a snow blower.
