Sakic will be out for at least the next two months, and perhaps three. If it takes him the full 12 weeks to recover, he'll be out until near the start of the playoffs---providing that the Avs make it this year without him in the lineup.

That's a big blow for the Avs. Sakic has 7-15-22 this year in 24 games.

sakic's noticebly slowed down this year, he's no way as near as dominating as he used the be

I'm glad he's hurt, because I doubt divealanche fans felt sorry when Stevie was hurt all those times at the end of his career. I will say that he's one of the few guys I don't hate on that team, but if we play them in the playoffs, he'll still be the player I'm most worried about, so I hope he doesn't come back.

I would hope that any Avs fan who is really a hockey fan would have felt bad. I do feel a little bad for Joe. He seems to be a class act and i have enjoyed watching him play in the past. Just never when he was playing the wings.

Hope he is able to come back, if not this year then next.

That sucks for Joe. I think the Avs are toast without him. They'll still make the playoffs, but at a much lower seed.

Real classy, I'm sure you make your fellow wings fans proud.
