I saw him get drafted here and it's been an incredible ride ever since.


God damn the people responsible.

 

[Sensung]

Please post tributes to the best player ever to wear the jersey.

I admire his ability to exercise restraint. I would've unloaded on the ones responsible for this.

Yup, the class he showed was astounding.

 

[Sensung]

So many amazing memories

 

[Engineer]

ok

So many highlights from the 17 playoff run, feels so long ago

If we had just built around this core, we could have been a contender for multiple years.

The heroic effort by Karlsson in those playoffs will always be a highlight of my years cheering for the Sens.

Can't wait for Shark fans to realize how much better EK is than Burns. (Kings fans will still be jealous douchebags though...)

Best player to wear the Sens uniform and a classy human being. You will be missed, hope you can make a return one day when #MelnykOut.

Eric Karlsson has been nothing but class since he was drafted. I have even more respect for Karlsson the person than I do for Karlsson the hockey player.

My 10 year old owns a dozen Karlsson cards. So do most of his friends.

Thousands of kids in the city wear sens jerseys to hockey practice. Half of those jerseys have numbers. Every one with a number is 65.

He earned the adoration of thousands of kids in this city and not a single parent had a problem with that because he was a good role model.

The only reason Dorion didn't want him in the east is so he and EM didn't have to hear the crowd chant his name every time he comes into town. They will do this because he has earned it.

Good luck in SJ and beyond.

I do too, but at the same time i kind of wish he unloaded on them and helped out them for this fake rebuild to cut costs.

Looks like we have to start chanting his name at 6:50 of every period.

We? Good one.

 

[NyQuil]

We? Good one.

That one guy.

 

[Sensung]

We? Good one.

Well the 3 people in attendance (Coladin, MySens and Fenix) could get the tradition started.

I might still go.

I haven’t decided yet.

We need some paper bag on the head fans in the stands to show in the highlight packages.

 

[Sensung]

Really hope the Sens sock puppets can let EK go away without the typical smear job. The rumblings have been around for a bit and the Melinda v Caryk hearing tomorrow could be fodder for the pinheads, but I hope they can show at least a modicum of the restraint that EK showed today.

I'm going to miss watching him, obviously, but I'm going to miss his presence in the city. Always classy, always professional. The 16-17 playoff run was the greatest hockey I've ever seen from any one player, and after all the struggle and the battle, moments after heartbreak, his handshake with Crosby will go down in my mind as one of the finest moments of sportsmanship I've witnessed.

He knows he's loved here and I'm proud that he thinks so much of this city that it would become his forever home.

 

[Sensung]

One of my proudest moments as a Sens fan.

What an amazing ambassador for this franchise and city!

He looks giddy and quite frankly, liberated. The best just might be yet to come for him.

He looks like he's about to cry at the end of the video.
