My favorite player of all-time for so many reasons. Best shot in the league, one of the greatest captains of all-time, classiest individual who ever played and the one player in Avs history who was universally respected even by the fiercest rivals. Love Super Joe!
I am a Leaf fan but Joe was my favourite player. Absolute class.
Burnaby Joe is a living F'N legend. Top 5 all around MVP GOAT. And even with the modern tech, his wristshot and toe-drag from the back foot changed the entire game.
Grew up a Wings fan, but always respected Mr. Sakic. Amazing player and a class act. Knew he would always give my Wings hell - but enjoyed watching him play.
I remember when he had 2 goals in the 2002 winter Olympics to win the gold against USA it was awesome!
Burnaby Joe...my all time favorite player. Consistant, talented, driven. The most drama there was around him is when he hurt himself. And yet he always gets overlooked a bit just due to the other superstars that were in the league while he played.
It would have been cool if you mentioned that Bourque not winning a cup in his 22-year run was the reason he left Boston for Colorado, and the Bostonians didn't even hold it against him; they instead understood and rooted for him.
Still the best wrist shot I've ever seen. Imagine what he would do with today's equipment.
God given wrister and an underrated slap shot. Truly a great player!
Super Joe is the reason why I was a Nordiques/ Avs fan as a kid and remain one to this day.
SAKIC WAS AMAZING !!!
awesome video! thanks for producing this
Best wrist shot of all time
ahead of his time with preference to the quick release over the full wind up shooting.
My favourite player A true gentleman
i was obsessed with this guy as a teenager, my bedroom walls were plastered with his pics. the best
It's obvious I was an early Avs fan when I can recognize Sakic from the portrait that's probably older than I am lol 😂😂
Detroit fan here. Can't say I like the guy as. you know, I'm a Wings fan. I do respect him and recognize how good he was though, he was a great player. Perfect Human, no, that belongs to Lidstrom only.
Need a full Yzerman video!
