We miss you EJ. You've been a staple of the Denver sports world for so long. Seeing you lift that Cup meant more to me than watching Sakic hand it to Bourque. As an avid fan, I've seen all the work you've put in.

[@3rdlineplug]

EJ stuck with us through thick and thin. One of the most underrated defenseman in franchise history. He gave everything for this team and I’m so happy he won a cup with us. Miss him.

[@letterse7en]

Damn didn't expect to be crying right now. Love EJ. So happy he was able to get a cup with the Avs after so many tough years.

[@gotopshelf8]

A true team leader……warrior…..and class act! Forever an Avs legend!!!! Thank you CONDOR for all the amazing memories

[@oceanblue2419]

BRING HIM BACK HOME

[@TPaine1776]

Amen

[@davesracingchannel9261]

Worked out well for the Blues we got rid of him because he wasn't what we hoped and we draft Alex Pietrangelo who was exactly what we hoped and FAR BETTER player! 😂

[@tddongtv]

EJ is one of the loyal troopers who went through it all with the Avs and helped them win the Cup. EJ will always be an Avs legend.

[@MrInsane87]

Bring him home! A true leader on the ice and in the dressing room. He is Captain material. Now when Landy is out for the entire season we need someone like EJ more than ever if we want to be a contender to win Lord Stanley again!

[@MasterBruce1984]

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE!

[@matambale]

nuh uh you are not me you are

[@pifficus1]

Big love to EJ. Whole of Ball Arena chanting EJ was something special. Hope he makes his way back before retiring.

[@TonyTrujilloi2]

EJ FOR LIFE!

[@jerrywoods9989]

Thank you, EJ it was one hell of a ride!!❤

[@jerrys1426]

All the best EJ. You mean a lot to Avs country

[@fubar61274]

Welcome back, EJ

[@michaelb5119]

Always an under the radar guy for the avs. Brought a very calming presence for them. Hes had a great career

[@doug3512]

EJ is #8 all-time in games played for the Avalanche. He's a Colorado Legend!

[@Roadgypsy247]

Thank You EJ

[@davidedelman4536]

Beatiful tribute! Condor forever!!!

[@matambale]

Miss ya EJ. Again big props to Avs media team - what a fine tribute video that was, and a great capture of EJ's reaction.

[@michelacordedda4455]

Che bella manifestazione d'affetto. Speriamo davvero lo riportino a casa❤

[@markkinz7913]

Nothin but love, EJ

[@longliverocknroll5]

For a guy that most would say “never lived up to” his number 1 draft spot, not many are laying it on the line like EJ did for us for so long. Even the first 6-7 years when we were a dumpster fire 😂

[@phile2586]

get this man back please

[@ajrupert5639]

This was such an amazing moment in person. You could tell he was happy to be in denver since the moment he stepped on the ice for warm ups

[@drboom.]

Classy glad we did this ej is awesome wish he could finish his career with the avalanche

[@stratcat3216]

Tears in my eyes man. Thank you EJ.

[@DudeHomer]

Amazing run, Buddy......thanks for the memories ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@bjarczyk]

That’s a true champion right there. He stuck with the Avs for what? TWELVE seasons until he won the cup? Never complained or asked for a trade. That is loyalty.

[@What_happened_sports]

No matter what Colorado will always love EJ!

[@Dutchovenderlinde]

We love you, EJ!! You’ve meant so much to this team and us fans all these years! Fly Condor Fly!!

[@Ripwanvinkle.00]

thank you EJ💜💜💙💙

[@davidquesnel4685]

Very Classy Colorado!

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

He's tied with Hejduk for my 8th favorite Avs player of all time. Love you EJ.

[@gabikrakrakra2762]

👍👍👍 Erik🍀

[@johnsonofjohn1678]

I was an EJ fan from the first day the Blues drafted him. One of his early mentors at the NHL level was none other than the great Al MacInnis. Definitely started his career on the right track.

[@bonnieboswell6607]

how many times can you cry over this EJ film? I'll let you know someday...

[@shermanhatch2716]

EJ one of my favorites!

[@icecold9prod]

We miss you EJ #6 💓💓

[@Moose96p]

We miss u so much EJ

[@garycollins6419]

*Chant* Bring him back, Bring him back

[@stevehaege4711]

Miss you Condor 🦅

[@canadian__ninja]

Credit to EJ, he's an emotional guy so I'm surprised he was able to keep things in check for that.

[@shadyassassin636]

Kinda disappointed they didn't put the empty net playoff goal he stopped. Even tho we didn't win the cup that year, that was the year me and many others fell in love with his heart and effort.

[@jacobclark2532]

Absolutely one of my favorite plays too!

[@KVGKQuake]

Whenever Landy inevitably gets his number raised to the rafters, they need to raise EJ's number the same night

[@ДмитрийРудный-с2ь]

До слез😢. Хороший защитник, где-то недооцененный. Пусть у него всё получится и в хоккее и в жизни!

[@Nolaniscrazy]

Still love myself some EJ

[@nikolai_sanchez2988]

WHOS CUTTING ONIONS AGAIN 😢

[@erinlynn2983]

EJ! EJ! EJ!

[@FireyNinetales]

The Condor will always be an Avalanche

[@patton303]

Trade deadline is coming! Bring him home, Joe! Get him tf out of that city.

[@parker_hky_17]

We need EJ back when we were shit he stayed with us and never complained. That’s who should’ve been a captain

[@gotDIBS]

Soon cool the Avalanche do this

[@nordiq21]

True warrior. Avs should retire #6

[@bonnieboswell6607]

ABSOLUTELY PERIOD THE END!

[@1light4love]

BRING HIM HOOOMMMMEEE😢 WE ARE NO TRUE AVALANCHE WITHOUT EJ!!! CONDOR FOR CAPTAIN!!!! C'mon Sakic. Dont let us down...or the team!!

[@williamboyer8294]

Dude was a big part of us winning the championship

[@GR1MR34P3R420]

FLY CONDOR FLY

[@fraziocolucciio9213]

HE NEEDS TO RETIRE AN AV!!

[@MWMTex]

Buffalo, the place where careers go to die.

[@Freyster98]

Please take him back, he's terrible
