Joe Sakic Playing Quotations

I wish he could be playing in Colorado with me.

Obviously, there's a number of teams, six to eight teams, that probably spent more than other teams to keep their players. So, yeah, you definitely lose that. But I think everybody is on the same playing field, and I think as the years go down, (there will be) issues and uncertainty for everybody. There's so much player movement.

He's a big kid and he's got great hands. He's been very impressive. He's got a lot of poise out there with the puck. He's playing with a lot of confidence.

When you're playing a lot of hockey, four days off is nice, only because it doesn't come often. You wouldn't want it every other week, but once in a while it's good for the body. We've been going since mid-September, so any time you can get it, it's not a bad thing. I don't mind the rest.

The time of year I love the weather the most here is the fall, and I've never really gotten to experience the mountains and Denver in the fall because I was always playing and traveling.

We've had some bad starts lately and we wanted to make sure the start of this game was a lot better. We played a solid first period and that gave us momentum. We've been playing a lot of catch-up lately and we didn't want to do that again.

I don't like playing against him so it's going to be fun playing with him.
