Featured 2009 Moment
The jersey of Joe Sakic was retired by the Colorado Avalanche.
--quote--
Usually not one for speeches, Sakic enjoyed this moment. He was back on the ice, even if it was in a dark suit and purple tie.
"I didn't think I'd be able to hold up," he said. "As soon as I got on the ice I felt comfortable. It was great."
In the middle of his talk, though, a fan blurted out, "One more time, Joe!"
"I don't know if I can do that," Sakic responded.
Unlike his retirement speech in July, Sakic kept the tears at bay.
Not that it was easy.
