This just wants me to say efF you Dorion.... can't take this.

It hurts too much to watch these clips. I can't believe he's gone. How can you NOT want to build your team around this man? How can he NOT be a part of the future plans? It completely boggles the mind . . . but then you remember who owns this team. Melnykout.

Callum. Fraser's video brought my son to tears. To paraphrase Alain Prost - " Sports, sometimes, also is this" .

Anyone remember this game? It was televised nationally on TSN so it was an opportunity to prove to the NHL of his new absolute stardom. It probably played a part in winning the Norris.

Pre-achilles he was so fast.

As great as Karlsson has been, the rest of the league really found out in 2016-2017 what type of player he is. Despite 2 Norrises.

Out of market fans have no idea about Karlsson circa Cooke. They are saying those things about McDavid now, what we used to say about our star young defenceman then.

The best is yet to come.

I'm not ready to say goodbye damn it.

Something I don't see mentioned enough about Karlsson is his superhuman resilience and toughness. Mental and physical.

He's had so much shit thrown at him in such a young career and is still one of the most illustrious players in history.

An amazing ambassador for the game.

A similar one in Ottawa with a "Thanks for everything, captain!" (or something like that) could have been nice... but $$$.

Agreed. I remember when the Sens drafted him as a skinny teenager, the common refrain was that he'd get crushed in the NHL.

He's given out way more damaging hits than he has taken and has always been one tough SOB, playing through injuries for his teammates.

 

[Sensung]

His teammates liked and respected him.

Don't let the whisper campaign revise the truth.

I will always remember Erik for how he was with Jonathan Pitre. Every time they met there was as much love on Erik’s face as Jonathan’s.

Thank you Erik for being an amazing human being. (Now go hoist that dam cup, make Ottawa proud)
