I have a lot of respect for the Great One but he is way offside on this one. Steve Yzerman has had an excellent career and has represented his country a number of times. Still, in International competition #19 is remebered more for Paul Henderson than Stevie Y. In my opinion Sakic has had just as good a career and deserves to wear his number. |

I am all for NHL clubs retiring numbers. Players who make a difference should be remembered and what better way than hanging their number form the rafters of the building. International hockey is different - I agree that the only exception being 99 and potentially 66. |

I'm with you on this one pucker. Sakic. Joe Thornton will be worthy of it as well as his career progresses. What about Spezza? Leave the number out there for the other Canadians. I'm not convinced that numbers should be retired anyway. 99 ok maybe there is an exception to every rule. |
