Steve Yzerman Appreciation Thread

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Yes, he retired this past summer, but I just want to start a late thread thanking him for what he's done for me, and the rest of the fans of Detroit.

I just got done watching the 1/2 ceremony, and now I'm watching the 97 championship video (at 3:09 in the morning), and Stevie deserves accolades still.

Stevie Y, you are the one that got me into hockey, and the one that taught me how to be a great leader.

Post in here what Stevie Y has done for you................

Steve played with some of the most intensity, heart, and passion i have ever seen any hockey player ever put forth.

the greatest memories i have of him is seeing him play in the play-offs.

especially last year, he was so injured, yet i remember telling my mom that he seemed to be skating and working so much harder than anyone else on the ice during that edmonton series.

he was IMO the greatest competitor in the history of all sports. A true icon and legend.

He is what ultimately made me become a Wing's fan.....

Stevie was the greatest captain a team could have. He always played with an intensity even when hurt or thaught to be down and out. Here are the links to my 2 most favourite Stevie tributes from broadstreetbully.com

Yup , he was truly amazing. I get all sad when I see him after taking the slap shot to the eye in the "desire" video and he`s grabbing the trainers shirt.
