Avalanche Warning 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Sorry we couldn't put up much of a fight. I got kind of emotional near the end thinking it could be Sakics last game. Good luck vs Dallas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lidstromrules16 7 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks. I was pleased to see the Avs still trying and not just flat out give up. Shows real class on their part, and great to see the crowd respond to Sakic. I still remember how I felt after the loss to the Oilers watching Stevie skate off the ice. If Sakic retires, the game will lose one of the greatest captains it has ever seen. Mad respect for Sakic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincanni 1 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 I was actually kind of hoping Sakic would score a goal in the closing seconds of the game personally. I get a feeling he'll be back though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 I can't see Joe retiring just yet. He's got a couple years left in him yet. If he does retire though, his number deserves to be shot up to the rafters at the Pepsi Center immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avalanche Warning 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 I would like to see him stick around to play on Canada in 2010 right in his own backyard. He's still a point per game player, they just can't ask him to carry the team anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Sorry we couldn't put up much of a fight. I got kind of emotional near the end thinking it could be Sakics last game. Good luck vs Dallas. While I'm definitely glad the Wings put this series away early, it's unfortunate that your team could never really be at full strength health wise and Theodore just went down south this series for too many stretches. I hope to see Sakic return as well. Hopefully you'll stick around here in the forums some as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 20 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) It was amazing to hear all the fans cheer when Colorado scored again. Great bunch of fans despite being in such a hole. It sounded like they had just won in triple overtime with that goal. Very classy Edited May 2, 2008 by Nero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Very classy! Joe Sakic is the only Avs player from that era that doesnt make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. A great guy, a great player, and a great leader. Why any Wings fan would hate on him is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avs#1 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Congrats guys you were clearly the better team out there in this series and I was foolish to think I wanted to see the avs play the wings. now on to rooting for the Penguins, the team I rooted for before the avalanche came to be. I think a Penguins- wings series would be very interesting. Young vs old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 I'll say this right now... If this happened to the Wings in Detroit, subtract about 3/4 of the people who stayed to watch the remainder of the Avs game, and that's how many people you would see in the seats at the Joe.

Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks Avs fans!! It takes balls to come on here and say that! Very Classy! And I hope that Joe does not hang it up! I always liked Joe even when the rivaly was at its peak, he is very classy and gets overlooked a lot, and I could never understand that!! I feel that this series would have been better if you guys would have been healthy, and its too bad we couldn't see that, I think if the Wings would have benefitted more by beating a healthy stocked team! Goodluck to you all in the offseason, and I would like to see you all stick around with us! Thanks Again!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 I'll say this right now... If this happened to the Wings in Detroit, subtract about 3/4 of the people who stayed to watch the remainder of the Avs game, and that's how many people you would see in the seats at the Joe. Well, that's because half of the people at the Pepsi Center were Wings fans, and only like 10% of the the fans at the Joe are foreign. So yeah, if Detroit lost there'd be more empty seats but it wouldn't reflect much. It seemed like most of the Colorado totally bailed on the Avs, except for that one goal.

Avsfan23 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Wings must have cursed us. I dont think we played one game against you all season with a healthy roster lol. Anyways, Congrats Wings. You were clearly the better team. Despite being an Avs fan, I have tremendous respect for your organization and all the success you guys have. Good luck the rest of the way.
