Indeed. Even though I'm a Sabres fan, my favourite hockey player of all time is Steve Yzerman - pure class in every respect.
All the speeches were good but I particularly liked Brian Leetch and Luc Robitaille's - Robitaille especially had a lot to overcome being a ninth round pick and I enjoyed hearing him talk about the naysayers and how it motivated him.
Plus, it didn't hurt that they kept panning over to his wife in attendance...still smokin' after all these years!
