You're right
I remember watching it and being so happy that Bourque finally won one before he retired. I didn’t realize Sakic did that but definitely a classy move.

Absolutely
You are absolutely right. I have often thought of that as the classiest moment in sports history. I’m happy to see that someone else agrees. I was at the game when that happened and will never forget it.
