Goodbye Joe?

from Terry Frei of the Denver Post,
Could this be Joe Sakic’s last postseason before retirement?
Could this playoff run — however long it lasts — be the last Avalanche fans see of him in a Colorado uniform before he stands at a podium, likely wipes away a tear or two, and says it was fun while it lasted?
Sakic has always had that knack of avoiding crushing contact — not running from it, but minimizing it with deft and instinctive maneuvering. That’s one of the secrets of his longevity, resilience and long-term effectiveness.
He has the same sense of anticipation for oncoming questions.

It seems more and more likely that Joe will retire and hand the reigns to Stastny who is seen as the one to fill Joe’s shoes. I still think that he will wait until a month or two into free agency to decide. Unless we win the cup he may feel like one more run to close it out on top. I think that the Avalanche’ off-season moves may have a bit to do with whether or not he comes back as well. I’m just not ready to accept a Sakic-less Av’s so I hope he has one more year in him.
