NHL Roundtable: Amber sits down with Robitaille, Sakic and Hull

[@patkajape]

I could listen these guys for hours. we need MORE!

[@savagetilley2782]

I've always said. There needs to be like a Shoot Interview style thing with legends. For instance i'm a die hard wings fan. I'd LOVEEE to pay like Brett or someone else to just sit down and talk about the 02 - 04 team and stuff that was said and done in the locker room. The funny stories.. the drama... the bullshit ... all of it.

[@pellelindbergh4455]

yes not shy, or boring

[@ronreinhold2100]

They were great!

[@GR1MR34P3R420]

Thats my GM and the player i grew up idolizing as a kid playing organized hockey and still the team i cheer for today #InSakicWeTrust #GoAvsGo

[@paulmd2010]

Hes on his way to a second hall of fame induction. He's an amazing GM

[@JP18729]

Legendary trio there. I was spoiled growing up in Detroit in the 90s watching those guy's play in their prime, that was a different era in the NHL.

[@animaljustice7774]

Yep.

[@makeitcount179]

Joe Sakic, THANK YOU for your service to Canada in the Olympics. Your presence on the ice made Canadians proud from coast to coast. Canada won gold.

[@hd-xc2lz]

Brett story about not giving the defensemen a cheap assist was the best. Love that stuff goes on. Only the NHL.

[@ronreinhold8997]

Actually what really happened there was that Quebec was not good a team, and Brett could see the game was won, and he didn't want to rub it in to them. When Sakic asked him about it, he just made up that story about the cheap assist for the defenseman. Brett didn't have a mean streak in him for sure.

[@paulsundberg8330]

For as fierce and the Red Wing/Avalanche rivalry was, it was kind of cool to see Sakic give Lidstrom props. As a Wings fan, I have to admit, as much as I hated the Avs at the time, I always respected guys Sakic, Forsberg, Foote, and Roy. Looking back at it now, it was one of the greatest rivalries not just in hockey but possibly all of sports.

[@clintonalexander526]

Coming from an Avs perspective, hated the Wings but truly respected Yzerman, Ferderov, Holmstrom and Lidstrom! Best hockey I have ever seen

[@90sgrungefan51]

Those starting line ups on both sides are pretty much all in the rafters or in the hall. Unbelievable games Those were. Go avs.

[@RobertLidstroem]

Isnt there supposed to be a documentary coming about this?

[@Brotha00]

March 26 baby

[@LC-ht7sg]

He's such a legend. Loved his non-celebration after a goal, like it was no big deal. No dancing or prancing, swooping the ice with his glove, or taunting the crowd. Just "Yep I just scored again, I'm great, deal with it."

[@Madisonrvr]

I could’ve listened to this for at least two more hours. What a great trio of hockey legends having a blast together. Freaking Luc, cracking me up when he drops the no-goal comment on Hull!!!!!

[@rongarcia7744]

These 3 guys are so awesome..Glad I got to watch them play in their Era ..class act.and hockey Legends 🏒🏑

[@14tralfaz]

I think the quote was “you don’t talk to Mr. Sakic like that.”

[@grimiss]

"You do not get to talk to Mr Sakic"

[@timhenderson9794]

Sakic my fav of all time

[@crowlee5111]

Love the Avery story hahah esp when Sakic jokes around.

[@AbesamisM]

Need more round tables

[@how2something124]

"some say it doesn't count" lol

[@September2004]

The hardest defensemen to get around (according to these guys) both played for Detroit.

[@MDK2_Radio]

There’s a reason they could win Cups without elite goalies (though of course they did have one for a while). Heck, Colorado just won a Cup without an elite goalie. Great defense is more important than great goaltending.

[@andreprefontaine3824]

@@MDK2_Radio you cant wiin with bad goaltending.. look at toronto!

[@tylerlivingston82]

One thing I noticed is that they both were complementing Joe Sakic's game. Could definitely tell who the best player at that table was just by the way the others talked about him.

[@vangelis7]

They were all very different, saying Sakic is best is a hard thing to say, each had their strengths and played different positions. Sakic’s game was more complete and he played at high speed very effectively. His quick release snap shot is very evident in todays game. Brett in my opinion was the most lethal sniper ever to play.!!Its also the difference between a centerman and a winger. All great players. Got to watch all of their careers almost in full and loved each of them.

[@brandonb9978]

@@vangelis7 you’re right, all great. But Sakic was definitely the best.

[@aceventuraify]

I’d say Brett had the highest peak, his 90-91 season was better than any season Sakic ever had.

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

@@aceventuraify lmao good one. Even near the end of 19's career, Joe still had 100+ point seasons and could've played into his mid 40's if not for his snowblower accident. Sakic is one of the top 5 greatest to ever play alongside Yzerman.

[@johnwalsh468]

Totally agree - but let’s not undersell hull. One of the best pure goal scorers ever to play the game. But sakic was my idol growing up. Not just because of how good and clutch he was, but how he carried himself on and off the ice. Complete class act

[@andreprefontaine3824]

bret hull is underated hes the purest goal scorer ever

[@pvhep4036]

Thats a bunch of goals!!

[@DT-un3bu]

Imagine if Sakic centered a line with Luc and Brett Hull lol wow

[@samanthap1006]

imagine if either oilers or penguins draft robitaille... imagine if penguins draft all 4,, hull, robitaille, 66 and roy

[@aceventuraify]

I’d put one of them on the 2nd line to spread the offense

[@markhibber8371]

The two best players that the Red wings bought

[@joaquingonzalo1945]

we want more !!!!

[@makeitcount179]

Breakaway? I'd flip a coin between Luke and Joe. Both were like 85% to score. Amazing. One Timer? Brett. maybe 92%> again amazing.

[@makeitcount179]

Nik Lindstrom. Great mention.

[@emeraldmeat]

wheres the full interview on this? i wonder why they just uploaded this short video.

[@bige4040]

There is a reason why Sakic is sitting in the middle.

[@PetterHughes]

Because Sakic was a center, and Hull and Robitaille were wingers

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

@@PetterHughes Yes and no, it's because Sakic is the best of all three.

[@charlieanderson1889]

Good stuff.

[@Aza13]

Mr Sakic!

[@jsu9575m]

Bretts goal was legal even under rules at the time. You could skate into the blue area with the puck.

[@barkeater123]

Brett looks just like dad

[@davidchodds]

Hull, Sakic, and Robitaille resemble Daniel Craig, Peter Gallagher, and a little bit of Matt Damon respectively.

[@crowlee5111]

Some may think it didn’t count hahah 🙋

[@ptothelahey]

3 studs

[@MDK2_Radio]

They got the left winger on the left, the centerman in the middle, and the right winger at right. On purpose, or a coincidence ? Anyway, what a line they might have made.

[@lightningsmokerXx]

3:44 - Avery , MR.SAKIC OR MR.SAKICH if you prefer...... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6vCqqapgLh3Z80

4 white guys talking hockey

[@hd-xc2lz]

Why would the total goals scored between the three of them mean something to any one of them? Ughh. Classic empty stat-based question from a sports reporter that expects no answer from the athlete interviewed.

[@juliuscaesar9121]

There is an arrogance to Hull that I can´t stand!

[@okyouknowwhatever]

He can't help it, he's Bobby Hull's son, it's in his genes. Just like Max Domi can't help being an idiot on the ice, because he's Tie Domi's son.

[@tylerlivingston82]

Really? He paid Sakic a compliment basically conceding that he was better on the break away than himself.

[@PeachesCobb123]

Brett Hull is a very mellow guy. If you read articles on him they will say about how he was singing on the ice and just out to have a good time. That isnt arrogance you see, it is indifference

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@tylerlivingston82 Agreed. Hull has always been perfectly comfortable talking about his own limitations. And honestly, a lot of hockey All Time Greats, particularly the Canadians, put on too much of an "aww shucks, I ain't nothin' special" show. These guys are most entertaining when they get specific about what are winning traits in the game, and the differences and similarities between their era and today. Comparison of Hull's shot to Ovi's was an interesting one.

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@okyouknowwhatever Hilarious about Max Domi. Never thought about it, but yeah, so true.
