His performance alone doesn't warrant a jersey retirement, but that he played a considerable amount of games, was captain, was important to the city, and was a good enough player means I'd accept the jersey retirement easily.
I will accept it too.

Yes, because if you don't think his jersey should be retired you hate him! You're either with us or with the terrorists!!
It's funny watching how threatened and angry the rabble gets when someone doesn't agree with them.
Come now-rabble?terrorists?
What happened to the pathetic jilted girlfriends?
What the hell? What kind of logic is this? It's kind of what people achieve that makes them great, you can't just take them away. Take away Roys cup runs with Montreal and he was just a goalie who demanded a trade.
No, he was consistently the best. Alfie was never the best. In Roys time with Montreal he led them to 2 cups, was a 1st team all star multiple times, won the Jenning multiple times, won the Vezina multiple times, and won the Conn Smythe trophy multiple times.
Thats a very far cry from Alfies time in Ottawa, where one good playoff run turned him from eternal whipping boy to god literally overnight...a playoff run where he tied for the team lead in scoring with his two linemates. Comparing Roy winning the cup twice, being named the best in the league twice, and winning the Conn Smythe twice to a single failed Cup run is laughable.

Yah the senators fan base will praise you when you do well, but them slit your throat with one bad season.
Haha no, the Senator fan base consists of weak lamo's that are more concerned with former players than current.
It's so pathetic with the "Is there a chance Alfie comes back", or the "When will Alfie's # be retired" threads...I cringe everytime I'm on this board now. Can we move the **** on already.
If his jersey is retired then the Sens will be cursed for eternity. Most of you guys on here are young, can't we just wait until we have some real sport heros to honor. You know like a champion or something.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that these boards weren't meant for discussion. I was interested in what some people thought on this matter, and these 6 pages show some people do have some good opinions to be shared. If you don't like a topic that's fine, but don't come strolling in here on your high horse telling people their opinions aren't valid and that it makes you cringe when you see threads like these.
Just did a quick search about how many threads were devoted to alfredsson retiring and whether or not his jersey will be retired, yah the only thread bearing some resemblance was the 2013 alfredsson thread, these don't appear that often
Haha where the hell have you been...there was a freaking thread the day he head headed to Detroit about his legacy and retirement..then there was the thread about the first game against Ottawa....then the thread about when he comes back to Ottawa...then the thread about how the video tribute wasn't good enough...a couple of fantasy threads about getting him back for one more year and him getting the "C" ...and probably 5 others that were merged together...it's ******* cringing. I've never been so embarrassed to be a Sens fan.
Screw the search button and click through the Sens board threads....there will be a thread on every page, where you can fantasize about the great Daniel Alfredsson.
