| July 11, 2008 Joe Sakic likely won't make a decision on his playing status until closer to September's training camp, according to the Denver Post. Sakic said, "I've got some time. I want to make sure I'm 100 percent whichever way I choose. I've played the game my whole life. Just mentally, right now, I'm still in a state of still deciding.

We told him that we would wait for when he would be ready to let us know." |
| June 16, 2008 Joe Sakic still hasn't decided if he will return for a 20th NHL season, according to the Denver Post. "Joe has not told me of any decision yet, and I assume that means he hasn't told the team anything yet," Don Baizley, his agent, said. |

It was a great overall team effort for the Avs, but as has happened so many times in the past, it was Sakic getting it done when it mattered most. |
| March 22, 2008 Joe Sakic took another step towards the hockey Hall of Fame today, recording the 1,000th assist of his career in Colorado's 5-7 loss to Edmonton. Sakic leads all active players in assists and is one of just 11 players to achieve the feat. |

On the year the ageless Sakic has 24 points in 27 games |
| February 24, 2008 The Avalanche activated Joe Sakic from the injured reserve list Sunday. The center has been out since Nov. 30 while recovering from hernia surgery. Put the future Hall of Famer back in your lineup immediately. |
| February 24, 2008 Joe Sakic got in a full practice on Saturday but wasn't sure he'd be ready to play on Sunday, according to the Denver Post. "I think there's a chance, but we still have to wait to see how everything feels (overnight) and go from there in the morning," Sakic said. "Every day has felt a little better, and things felt pretty good today, so we'll see. I want to play, for sure, but it'll be up to the trainers before I get the full go-ahead." Consider Sakic, who is recovering from heria surgery, to be a game-time call Sunday. |
| February 22, 2008 Joe Sakic practiced again on Thursday, but he won't return to game action on Friday, according to the Denver Post. Hang in there, as Sakic should return from his hernia surgery within the next week. |
| February 20, 2008 Joe Sakic took part in his first full practice Tuesday since late December, according to the Denver Post. He won't be ready to return from his hernia surgery on Wednesday, but we could see him back in the mix at some point during the Avs' five-game road swing. |
| February 18, 2008 Joe Sakic, and Paul Stastny, will accompany the team on its 5-game road trip that starts on Wednesday.

| February 14, 2008 Joe Sakic, on injured reserve after hernia surgery, did some skating on his own before practice yesterday and is making progress in his recovery, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

"It's encouraging to see the progress he's making, and that he's not so far away." Even though he's pushing 40, Sakic is still an elite offensive player. |
| February 11, 2008 Joe Sakic returned to the ice on Monday as he skated prior to the Avalanche's practice according to the AP. Sakic, attempting to comeback from hernia surgery, still has a few hurdles to clear before being cleared for game action.

| February 7, 2008 Coach Joel Quenneville said that Joe Sakic is "chomping at the bit" to resume skating, but that the team will know more after this road trip, according to the Denver Post. Sakic is coming back from hernia surgery. |
