Dale Hunter is the only one of recent memory. Although I guess he didn't technically quit, but rather decided not to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "think" he was asked, it makes sense that he was. I think I should start a thread, this has some people riled. Do you think it likely the IOC didn't ask Joe freaking Sakic to be a torch bearer? I don't think that's likely at all. I doubt they asked him as he was retired and had been away from hockey for a while, plus even if he did, I doubt he would have done it because he was that humble.

The guy doesn't deserve to be honoured with the name of "Burnaby", because he's not loyal enough to your garbage city......or did I miss something?

He retired in 08-09, that was not a long time. You may be right about about his humility, but I would have liked to see his involvement in some way. As a previous Team Canada player it seemed like a perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaving out a lot of words I would like to use to describe him out of respect for Burnanby and anyone here who remains a fan of him. 19 hours ago, Raymond Luxury Yacht said: He gets so much love from here but does nothign to deserve it, other than being one of the best athletes to come from our region. I'm huge on local talent, I love it when they reciprocate the support with charity, exposure, or any kind of love whatsoever. I feel none of that from Colorado Joe. He could have at least been a torch bearer at the 2010 games. If you're trying to say that you're not whining about Sakic's loyalty to Burnaby then these posts are a bit confusing. Did you really not mean, "he's not Burnaby Joe to me"? Or did you mean, "I totally respect that he is Colorado Joe now"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on who the AVs can get to replace him, this might be like when the Hawks sacked Denis Savard for Joel Q, and the rest is history. They've got some very good pieces on that AVs team and I know they had the one big surprising season under Roy, but they never really were as good as they should have been since.

This is completely derailing the thread, PM me if this isn't enough clarification for you. He's not Burnanby Joe to me. He's Super Joe, that's his nickname everywhere else. I totally respect him, but I do also apparently harbour some form of negative feelings surrounding it, or I wouldn't be dragging this on. I have some weird hang-up on locally grown athletes, proven by my borderline obsession with keeping Hammer and Willie Mitchell over the years, and my desire to have Lucic sign here. Hell, I've even promoted Evander Kane to come home to find himself (provided he doesn't actually beat women, I have no respect for him if the allegations are true). I wish I had more reasons to obsess over Sakic, but he apparently shy'd away from the spotlight here, as was his prerogative. In my initial comment I was suggesting Roy and Sakic didn't see eye to eye, by referring to Sakic as Colorado Joe, I sensationalized it, exposing my bias and ruffling a lot more feathers than expected. I was going to jokingly start a thread called "Joe Sakic, does Burnaby really need him?" as a joke, I'm glad I didn't now. It wasn't meant to be so offensive, oh well, I guess I can be a villain at times. I still maintain he should have been a part of 2010. That fed my bias for sure. Like I said, if you (or anyone) have more to say, PM me, I don't want to continue derailing this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Not a very classy departure I don't think. It sure looks to me from this vantage point that he had plenty of input on personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSecretIsMe Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hating so hard on Roy may not be warranted. Look at what he did in his first year, the next year the team slips and he probably makes some recommendations etc. Front office does nothing at all, same thing the next year, now he's even more choked. He does seem pretty abrupt and all, but I don't know if its fair to point the finger at him like CDC is. I think their front office is also to blame.
