one of my all time favorite players. Joe Sakic is a class act, always showed up big in big games and led his team to two Stanley Cups. Watching him and Forsberg together was truly something to behold whether it was on the power play or the year when they put them on the same line. Incredible.

[@AM-mk4kc]

My favourite player of all time

[@billsouza4457]

As a 50+ year Bruins fan he is my favorite non-Bruin player of all time. And it has nothing (almost...lol) to do with handing Bourque the cup. I remember seeing him wearing that #88 in a Nordiques jersey saying to my friends this kid is going to be special. He did not disappoint.

[@MsIsabear]

Nicely done. “Quiet leader” is the perfect description of Sakic.

[@KetaProductions]

Thanks 😊

[@TechieTato]

Need to add Stanley Cup Winning GM now! He will always be my favorite player of all time!

[@rydermccracken9199]

He also got voted as the best gm that year too he has done a lot for us avs fans and it’s much appreciated he is loyal and I’m really grateful that we get to have someone like this as our gm.

[@christophermascaro1861]

Amen brother. Such good work. I idolized Joe when I was growing up playing. This video was awesome, thank you!

[@willmath8907]

This channel is underrated asf, amazing content i will watch them all!

Thanks for the kind words!

Brett Hull to Sean Avery!

[@benon777]

Every team that will have success need a rock, a foundation like Joe Sakic.. Incredible skilled to fill the needs both ways to make sure the team is on the edge… He lifted the team, teammates and much of His fantastic job putted them in the spotlight!!

[@KetaProductions]

I live near his birthplace and here we have a street named after him 👏

[@chucklehead3494]

this was my faveorite player as a kid haha man I miss the Colorado avalanche

Those were the days!

[@Excellete]

Let's go Burnaby Joe!

[@KetaProductions]

Mr. Canuck-killer

[@eh7438]

Pure class..

[@MadMax1381]

Never knew he never wore 19 in the Olympics when Yzerman was injured. That speaks volumes about Joe.

[@KetaProductions]

I was also unaware until I did the research. No wonder he was so respected around the league.

[@CatSamurai99]

We called him Joe Psychic

[@The-Dom]

Look at that all-star lineup the Nordiques got for Lindros. Surely that's the biggest trade for one guy ever. Instant cup team.

[@KetaProductions]

We just don't see those trades anymore. Maybe a player like McDavid would command a return like that.

[@The-Dom]

@@KetaProductions Gretzky didn't get that. Its insane. Also I fucking love Forsberg and know how dominant he was.

[@KetaProductions]

In hindsight, we could make a case for Forsberg for Lindros 1:1, nevermind the rest of the add-ons!

[@The-Dom]

@@KetaProductions in hindsight Forsberg is worth two Lindros. I believe (and so do some NHL hall of farmers) that Forsberg was the greatest player of all time. At his peak the argument can be made.

[@KetaProductions]

Oh my, imagine two Lindros's on a line 😂

[@The-Dom]

Character move to stay with his high school team for the final year. That's special.

[@KetaProductions]

Yeah what a class act

[@erikalm7188]

Joe Sakic is the left handed Steve Yzerman.....

[@KetaProductions]

Absolute class

[@JeremyHenson-bo2bp]

As a penguins fan diehard Peter Forsberg Joe saikic an Patrick Roy was up there

[@snowfloofcathug]

Thanks to a familial tie Sakic was always in the background to Forsberg but the more I learn... man he was great. Of course it's impossible to be completely oblivious, he can't be left out of any longer discussion of the Avs, but it's only now sinking in all those comments of stepping up when it mattered and being a true leader instead of it just being something I'm vaguely aware of

[@KetaProductions]

You are related to foppa? He's on my radar for a future episode 🙂

[@Dynamatrix2000]

Sakic is better than Forsberg

[@snowfloofcathug]

​@@Dynamatrix2000 I'm not sure I agree but there's easily an argument to be made for it, Sakic is amazing

[@keepit1001000]

I signed him playing ESPN NHL 2k5 so went to google about him. Really good video. Literally no nothing about NHL. So I made a good signing lol

[@KetaProductions]

I lol'ed haha. Great signing. Maybe this channel will help you sign some more 🙂

[@duma854]

Great video He simply the BEST to dawn the Avalanche Jersey…..

[@KetaProductions]

It's hard not to like the guy!

[@Sabotage_Labs]

No arguments here. Joe is a class act through and through. I've only even had one problem with Joe Sakic! He never played for my Flyers! 😜 And yes....in hindsight, which is often 20/20, the Flyers should have kept Forsberg and let Lindros go to the Rangers....lol. Flyers likely would've won a cup in the 90s had they. But....such is life. Peter eventually came home but, a little too late.....lol. . So.... living in Phoenix and heartbroken the Coyotes got ran outta town.... Will Utah repeat the Quebec/Colorado first year cup? I know my Flyers ain't winning it this year. Not sure if I would be happy for the former Yotes (Yeti.... horrible name for an NHL club) or pissed off! Probably the later!

[@DarrinLatvala]

I being a life long Red Wing fan hated Colorado but I always respected Joe Sakec I thought for a couple of years he was the best player in the world he was their Steve Izerman

[@simonequittenton2691]

Joe is way more an idol than Gretzky. Im a vancouver fan and bertuzzi was my favourite so colorado is a sensitive spot for me. Ill always love burnaby joe.

[@Mr.MikeBarksdale]

One of the real gentlemen who left the game better than he found it.

[@wingnutwillie]

Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work and maybe do Stevie Y soon.

[@KetaProductions]

Thanks for your kind words. I have a few people asking for him so I'll have to put him to the top of my list!

[@AvsFan32]

You should learn the story of his dads life also. Unbelievable.
