Selanne and Kariya in the Hockey Hall of Fame!

[Mallard]

his team records are dropping as the Twins are slowly surpassing them. To hockey, Kariya is HHOF. As a Ducks fan, congrats, but no, he doesn't need to have his jersey retired.

The Samueli's depicted it best. Teemu and Kariya are HHOF's. Teemu is great with the Ducks community. Kariya helped establish it, but nothing more. Kariya's records are dropping. Kariya pursued "his hockey dreams", not "ducks hockey dreams". Which is why he can be a HHOF, but not get his number retired.

Pff the twins were not on the receiving end of career altering (ending) cheapshots to the head.

Yeah, Perry gets more shots to the groin than head that's for sure. I don't know with the way he plays how he's avoided more serious injuries although he's taken a couple of knees in his time.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Karyia is our first ever draft pick he was a elite player for our team and helped to build up the fanbase and is now a hall of famer. We should retire his number.

Kariya put the team on the map. His departure still left a couple scars but I think he absolutely deserves to have 9 hanging in the rafters.

Ah, dammit. Time to get my tissues ready.

Wow I'm very excited to watch that

Kinda funny that, in a video where they welcome back a player who stayed away from the sport out of bitterness over a lack of protection against head injuries and especially for being forced back too soon, they use the "off the floor, on the board" audio from an incident in which he clearly returned too soon.

I'm very sad I won't be able to see the festivities for the inductions

I would think they would broadcast it like they did the ten year celebration.

I meant in person. I could definitely see the broadcasts, maybe, I'll see how much studying I get done ahead of time.

Here is the Kariya interview, pretty insightful stuff:

This is a great video (also Paul is still ripped)

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

It's good to see Paul smiling. He doesn't do enough of that.

 

[ADHB]

It's good to see Paul smiling. He doesn't do enough of that.

Also nice to see him relaxed and talking at ease, instead of that "interview voice" we always used to hear when he was playing.

 

[DarthYenik]

It's good to see Paul smiling. He doesn't do enough of that.

Yeah, at least not his recent public appearances. Even in that crossing out of the “9” during the playoffs he didn’t really smile that big.

This just reminds me of those good old days when they were playing together.

I know it’s a weird thought, but God, I wish we could’ve seen the line of Teemu/Andy McDonald/PK

Seeing those 3 together would of been a great sight to see.

Selanne, Kariya to be immortalized together forever

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I wonder if Teemu wouldn’t accept his nomination if Paul wasn’t nominated too.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I wonder if Teemu wouldn’t accept his nomination if Paul wasn’t nominated too.

I'm sure he would have. Let's not write fan fiction.

 

[DarthYenik]

Wait is the induction ceremony going to be on tv? When? What channel?

 

[DarthYenik]

Also, a nice interview from yesterday’s festivities...

Kariya back in spotlight at Hall of Fame festivities

I get that final 5 freeway joke.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Yeah, who knows where the ceremony will be on TV? I need time to hunt down a feed. I'd guess TSN would be one network.

 

[ADHB]

5pm Pacific on NHL Network in the US.
