Glad he got his Cups.

Somewhere Ales Hemsky's shoulder is uttering a huge sigh of relief.

Glad Regehr was able to get a Cup before calling it a career. All the best to him.

I called this yesterday

I'm the new NHL insider! (*****)

DBU said something similar. Something along the lines of "Somewhere in Texas right now, Ales Hemsky is popping champagne."

Anyway, congrats on a great career to Reggie and I'm glad he got his cup. He was one of my favourite defenders that the Flames had for the longest time, and still is.

Great rock on the blue line and a great guy also.

I remember as a kid when I went to bible camp at Christopher lake here in Saskatchewan the guy spent his summers pulling kids around on his boat. He had a cabin on the water right near the camp. Got his autograph and is the only NHL player I have ever had a conversation with. Sad to see him lace em up.

Sad to see him go

Reggie deserves the "forever a Flame" schtick. Not superstar but was a longtime fan favorite.

Best of luck to him.. As much as people like to talk about Iggy and Kipper, Reggie was the staple on our defense for years, very underrated player in his prime. Happy he got his cups

 

[tfong]

Good career. Liked him in Calgary.

 

[Sparky93]

Good hard nosed guy. In his day, he was one of the very best defensive defensemen. Feared by as many that loved him. Good to see him call it a career while still competing at a good clip

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Wouldn't be surprised if we see him in the organization at some point in the future.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Thanks Reggie, was a real warrior for us and I'm glad he got his cup. Played the game the right way.

In case anyone forgot, Regehr was part of the deal where we sent Fleury to the Avs. Not a bad career for a rental!

 

[Perceptor]

Appreciated everything he did when he was a Flame. I'm glad that like Ference in Boston, he got his Cup!

Couldn't agree more. I'd love to see him sign a 1 game contract, but I doubt it happens.

 

[St Wardo]

It's official.

 

[Lunatik]

Big Rig? Worst nickname ever.

 

[Wheels of Poirier]

It's official.

Just thinking, 34 seems to be quite young to hang 'em up in light of the Recchis, Selannes and Jagrs, but I guess if you feel you've accomplished everything you meant to, and given back to the game as Reggie has, there's nothing wrong with calling it a career to spend some time enjoying what you've earned. All the best to him, and I'd be more than happy to see him back in the league in some (coaching) capacity.

yay reggie

2nd worst there, 100 Third Graders.

You're right Stewie Griffin is much worse

He played a game that took a toll on his career. I also don't think he went through a full season being full healthy (warriors don't need that shoulder, knee, head, etc to be 100%).

It looks like he's moving into another role somewhere, I doubt he leaves hockey for good.

I heard he's going to be Mike Keenan's assistant coach.
