Joe Sakic - Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Speech

www.HHOF.com - Joe Sakic Induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame (2012)

[@pekinobo]

Imagine Sakic and Forsberg on the same line. It really happaned.

[@aceventuraify]

As someone with family ties to QC I appreciate him showing them a ton of respect. I expected his speech to be focused on Colorado but he showed Quebec a lot of love.

[@biffdanielson2820]

We were so spoiled in Colorado with all the HOFs on those teams.

[@jimmarquez-medina9543]

Joe Sakic is so cool! He ain’t even trying. What a Captain what a leader. 🏒🇨🇦♥️

[@EARTHQUAKEREP0RTER]

Him and John Tavares look like twins. I'll never forget Sakic and Yzerman together on team Canada tearing it up vs USA

[@fatboy1333]

3:01 hits different now that PL is gone and Sakic DID bring a championship to Denver

[@billwenger2279]

Classy and humble.

[@mariaandmichael2680]

Best player I have every seen

[@MarquisdeSuave]

One of the best centers ever to play in the NHL. Great two way player who had virtually no weakness.

[@johnboisvert993]

Yes, much like Steve Yzerman. And they both wore number 19

[@shabba213]

RIP Pierre Lacroix

[@rosemartinez2174]

He is such a wonderful man❤️I love him

[@coolbeans8682]

And of course Joe gave to Mats the most personal and biggest honor in the whole speech. Pure class, GLG

[@aceventuraify]

Everyone talks about Sakic-Forsberg but people forget how lethal him and Sundin we’re together in those early years. Can’t believe QC traded Sundin for Wendel.

SUPER JOE!@#@!

[@grimiss]

Best wristshot there is, was, and ever will be. Sakic FOR LIFE.

[@michaeljoseph8674]

It wasnt a wrister is was a snapper release..sorry had to correct for that...

[@grimiss]

@@michaeljoseph8674 His signature shot was a mid-stride wrister. He also had a great snap, slap, one-timer, etc. He was great at all shots but he is known for his wrister.

[@1.cavesprings529]

@@grimiss His signature was that wrist shot off the wrong foot. It's funny but so many hockey players can't do it. Goalies hate it.

[@grimiss]

@@1.cavesprings529 Yep. Like I said, mid-stride wrister which is why it would be off his left foot instead of the right. And he did it from everywhere.

[@kylegaze4540]

THANKS BOB!

[@tomaseriksson6338]

One of the best❤️❤️❤️

[@omarlucero8964]

i still miss him. come back to the avalanche

[@anul6801]

He heard your call

[@aaronjackson9385]

Wish granted....along with another Stanley Cup championship!!

[@paulweber4661]

"You don't get to talk to Mr. Sakic"

[@rageinthekage4247]

I have figured it out that I am in the Matrix and this is all on T.V. in my head...

[@1.cavesprings529]

What if I told you that this is just real life?

[@kylegaze4540]

Waymond

[@jkwalrus9723]

The clapping and reactions are underwhelming, the HOF is a huge deal. Is it like a hockey etiquette thing? Why is this so dry and uptight?

[@davidkruse4030]

its an audience of fellow HOFers. It isnt a fan audience

[@aaronjackson9385]

@@davidkruse4030 thats a good answer, but so many times I was expecting a roaring applause and instead got nothing.

[@leannearchambault2852]

As an AVA fan.. He only cares about him... Junk Athlete . Who won't signed any youth anything . Un less in CANADA. He only cared about . His worth. His Home Country ... So. I Admire , His Athlete ability ... But.. That is All.. I watched . Him. In his Glory . & I Watched . Him Dis. American children .. Great Hockey player .. But.. Crap role motel....

[@davidkruse4030]

Do they not teach English in Canada?

[@grimiss]

@@davidkruse4030 Probably some pretentious schmuck from Quebec, still crying about the Nords moving to Col and immediately becoming a great team.

[@1.cavesprings529]

Please find the nearest door labeled "GTFO" thanks, BYE!

[@Brotha00]

March 26, 1997 Congratulations to the rival captain

[@deanitaliano6396]

You are such a piece of shit, he is a true human being you are obviously a dumb ass!

[@jwilliss2119]

"Quoteless" Joe even has a boring hall of fame speech. And I say that with love, as he's one of my favorite players ever.
