Hockey fans will miss him, one of the classiest guys to play the game. I'm sure he'll have a job for life with the Av's from here on.

Always wanted him to play for the 'Nucks, but that was not to be. Good luck on his future endeavours!

I would have loved to have seen him finish his career at home in Vancouver.

I have nothing but respect for his game and the way he carried himself on and off the ice. A very classy ambassador for the game of Hockey, We'll all miss him I'm sure.

Considering his junior experience (Graham James, fucking piece of shit), it's amazing what he accomplished. I expect he, like Fleury and Kennedy, will share his experiences at some point. Talk about mental toughness though. Congratulations, Joe.

Even though he was a thorn in the side of my Canucks he was a great player and a class act.
