Avalanche GM Joe Sakic speaks at Stanley Cup victory parade

Avalanche General Manager Joe Sakic speaks at the Avs’ Stanley Cup victory parade.

[@tjtidwell1974]

I met Joe Sakic at Costco…he was loading dog food into his Porsche. Super nice, friendly and humble guy.

[@bigpappachungus5273]

I envy you. I live in Buffalo and I’m traveling to Colorado next year, praying i some how meet him

[@bigpappachungus5273]

What a surprise , Joe Sakic being an absolute class act. Impossible not to love Super Joe

[@stephanea5364]

Is there someone classier than Joe Sakic? What a role model.

[@bigpappachungus5273]

Don’t think it’s possible

[@lyndainlv]

No, no there’s not.

[@patton303]

I taught a couple of Joe’s kids over the years. Him and Debbie are two of the sweetest folks you’ll ever meet. Great family. And of course #19 was a legend on the ice and is now a legend as a GM. So happy for that guy. Go Avalanche!

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

Joe is a class act and it says a lot about his character to congratulate the other champions of Colorado before talking about the Avalanche.

[@rademfam6856]

Super Joe always classy, saluting all of DNVR champion teams. what a guy

[@JordanJam]

Joe Sakic has been my idol since 1995. Thank you Joe, thank you!

[@babu981]

I met Joe Sakic once in Quebec City when he was playing for the Nordiques, great man

[@TampaTec]

Joe Knows hockey, smart to hire him. Takes a champion to build a championship team like Steve Yzerman built the Tampa Lightning.

[@Gamboosy]

Avs repeat so the Wings can win it after continuing the tradition

[@jaythompson5102]

They say 4th liners make great coaches but it feels like superstars like Sakic and Yzerman make great GMs. Being so skilled they know what it takes to play at that level as a superstar and can probably identify talent much easier.

I could see ovechkin being washington gm one day

[@dr.nauharb1932]

🐐 love Sakic

[@mrjacobsullivan]

What a leader! I LOVE that he gave a shoutout to the Peewee team from the area. True class.

[@Maple_Leafs_34]

Let’s goooo Avs!!! That’s a core memory for me! I got to go to this and It’s so cool

[@jcallenmusic]

Joe is the man.....Class act

[@sturenton2563]

My all time fav player Mr Joe Sakic, still got his 01 jersey

[@day1avsfan907]

I love that Bo was always there listening to his elders/coaches/gm speak

[@micace9554]

I love you Joe Sakic!!! The best and a legend of hockey!

[@ryanpearsall1499]

I was there. I was hammered. I cried. Go avs

[@lyndainlv]

This is “so Joe”, acknowledging the kids accomplishments from his home state first!

[@Tanner7763]

Holy fack Mack looks buckled

[@Hagonian]

Brett Hull drunk

[@shabba213]

With a capital B

[@alll261]

I love you Joe. 🙏

[@bruzrkgro-malog2953]

Sakic is my all time favourite.

[@jasonholloway2476]

Dang Denver and Colorado really was the capital of hockey at that time!

[@brettkenschaft4239]

So funny how Joe was mentioning how hammered the guys were by saying they didn't have the immunity for this 🤣

[@pointlessaccount789]

Kronke, how about fixing the KSE website before next season?

[@zachgregory1289]

Pretty sober compared to Brett Hulls speech.

[@highlander4731]

The best player in NHL History

[@brianduncan8276]

Joe was an amazing player. There was nothing like watching Joe and Peter with Adam on defense and Patrick in goal. That's Avalanche hockey. It's just not the same now with these players that play dirty....kinda sad.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

World famous Sakic wrist-shot.

[@bpeterssen]

Quote less Joe, Burnaby Joe. He's always been a winner. Check out his resume while in speedy creek, aka Swift Current. MVP at 2002 Olympics on a loaded team Canada 🇨🇦. The best player in Colorado sports history. Just my opinion. I know football rules the state. Just sayin

[@deadtilloctober7128]

kroenkes got boo'd lol

[@pointlessaccount789]

He should have been pelted with pucks for all the good the KSE website is, let alone the utterly worthless app.

[@martinrosario4018]

The ones that boo’d probably support arsenal the soccer club they also own but running it like crap lol

[@deadtilloctober7128]

@@martinrosario4018 a lot of nuggets fans don’t like them either

[@ryancox936]

Super Joe is a class act! But maybe leave the politicians out of the parades. They get booed, as they should, and they put a damper on the celebration.

[@judasthepious1499]

Kroenke gets the love 🤭

[@TheHeston83]

yes but the worst NHL Team Owner of All-Time is undeniably Harold Ballard

[@jcrewjem5394]

Stop that bs with Altitude V Comcast and he will earn my love

[@educationfirst9631]

@@jcrewjem5394 couldn’t agree more! You want more fans? Quit sh1tting on them and let them watch your team!

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

@@jcrewjem5394 it's not a one sided argument, both sides want more money. I'm hoping an altitude streaming option is in the works. NHL broadcasting rights are probably the main holdup.

[@jcrewjem5394]

@@OneNationUnderGod. Comcast pays altitude for the content. They want to pay a fair rate for a channel that is in a small market and Kroenke said nay. It is one sided in my eyes

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

To the fans booing ownership, I get you may not like the Kroenke family but we are lucky to have ownership in a small market like Colorado that is willing to spend salary cap money to bring in the best talent in the world to win Colorado a championship. Shame on you "fans" that booed them.

[@neutralsportsfan17]

Money doesn't win Stanley Cups. There's no reason to celebrate an owner spending at the salary cap when virtually every single team that actually has a chance does it. The Winnipeg Jets are the smallest market in the NHL and had the exact same team salary as the Avalanche last year. A lot of fans are frustrated with the TV situation that has been going on for years that Stan and his ownership group refuse to fix in a mid-market hockey friendly city.

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

@@neutralsportsfan17 bullshit, the Avs are one of the smallest markets in the league. Until only recently they couldn't even sell out the Pepsi center except for original 6 games and Friday/Saturday nights. I've had season tickets for 6 years, so trust me I know. The Kroenke family could easily cash in on a mediocre team that's not even close to salary cap.

[@troytice8354]

Love people booing the billionaires!

[@biffdanielson2820]

Why would they boo the Kroenkes? Stan is the man and was responsible for bringing multiple championships to Denver.

[@TheBGYeti]

Because he is a well known piece of shit tied to the Waltons who made it impossible for a bunch of Colorado fans to watch this season due to their dispute with Comcast.
