Tribute Erik Karlsson Was A Class Act

[TonySoprano11]

Despite everything that happened, Karlsson gave his everything for this organization. I hope he comes home someday.

8 Years ago to the date....

I loved having him on the team but I wouldn’t be calling him a class act during his time here. I imagine he’s probably matured with time, life events and family.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

He was a boss. Hope he comes back one day too.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Only 8 years, seems like forever ago

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Karlsson takes way more shit than he’s due from a certain segment of the fanbase. Loved the guy while he was here and will always cheer on his success… as long as it doesn’t come at the expense of the Sens.

shoulda went to tampa bay

 

[Sun God Nika]

The most talented player to ever put on the Jersey. Hope his number gets retired.

 

[DueDiligence]

Great player but not a class act!

 

[Dionysus]

Bring back Karl!

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I still see a scenario where we bring him back in 2-3 years. Or immediately after he retires to take up a role with the team.

He was the best player to ever wear our jersey and I am just ecstatic I fully embraced every second during my university years to alleviate that stress that came with my studies and such.

 

[GCK]

The most talented player to ever put on the Jersey. Hope his number gets retired.

Top 3 anyway. Definitely deserves to have 65 hung in the rafters.

i find it hard to know how to think of EK in the medium view. We’re a few years out and the immediate crushing emotions have faded. He was an elite, exciting player. Probably a flawed leader. Didn’t seem to value loyalty particularly. Did some nice things off the ice for fans and the community. Languishing in the sunshine counting his money is not what I would have chosen for him, or us. But life changes every day and you can only walk the path you‘re on.

That Era was a fun time man, hasn't been the same since

 

[armani]

The biggest talent in franchise history, elite player as a Senator. That’s how he should be remembered.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I still don't know why anyone would have a reason to dislike him other than not giving Melnyk a discount.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

shoulda went to tampa bay

Nah getting two top 6 Cs for Karlsson was worth it.

 

[dumbdick]

Yep. Great guy. Would love to have him back if his price tag was lower. Hope he circles back to ottawa one day (I think his wife is from here, right?)

 

[Loach]

Great player but not a class act!

That must be on Alfie then. Lol

 

[BloodRedArmy]

Great player but not a class act!

Elaborate?

 

[GCK]

Elaborate?

He wasn’t the “classiest” person off the ice. Great player but he really was your typical asshole jock. His ego was real, not just confidence. Probably not the best choice for Captain. I’m sure he has come a long way since then.

Having said that, great player who was worth the price of admission, and sold his health to carry us to game 7 of the conference final.

I don’t need the stars on my team to be good people but don’t confuse great player with classy person.

 

[Ser Grogu]

Was? RIP?

 

[Yak]

I would bring him back on the cheap or if he is done, have him sign a 1 day contract to retire as Sen.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Was an absolute joy to watch. Good times for sure.

 

[Back in Black]

He was great until he got his achilles cut. Then he was useless as t!ts on a nun!
