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.

Great player!

[bootlegga]

Good luck Joe! Too bad you never played for a Canadian team again...

[SigPig]

Another of the old guard gone.

All class, all the time.

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.

thanks for everything Joe

[Lemmy]

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.
