Always tough to see long time players hang ‘em up in down seasons.
OOH AHH
Sad. Few of the “old guard” left but is a good decision for his long term health.
He really lost a step after the hip injury. Will never forget the Silfvy-Kesler-Cogs line 🙁
u/mylefthandkilledme you beat me to it. Godspeed Malfoy.
According to this, he’s the team’s fifth all-time leading scorer. Fifth!

Years ago there was chatter of making a trade for Palat from Tampa. I forget the details
I was so excited for the potential of: Palat/Kesler/Silf. Thought that would be the sickest two-way + scoring 2nd lines in the nhl.
Silf had a good career. Sad about injuries, but that’s professional hockey. Very rarely does anyone make it to the end without lower body issues
When he wasn’t traded at TDL, this seemed like a logical conclusion, and he certainly earned the right to stick it out and finish here instead of being shipped off for a 4th Rd pick.
Hopefully he scores for an old time “Ooo Ah” chant, but even if not, maybe we can get it going during his farewell lap.
Oh ah…
His 769 (772 thru year end) games played here make him 4th most played player in Anaheim history. Last home game tomorrow. Gonna be an emotional one
True fans realize how good Silf was during the cup run seasons. Great defensively and had a really underrated shot.

Oh Ah Silfverberg, Say Oh Ah Silfverberg!! 🚨🚨 Oh Ah Silfverberg, Say Oh Ah Silfverberg!! 🚨🚨
Thanks Silfy!! Best of luck in retirement.
Was a real solid, dependable player for many years. Gonna miss him.
Finally 🥳👏🏻🎊🙌🏻🍾
This hurts. Love me some Silfverberg.
Can’t wait for him to open a steakhouse 🫡
* Looks like he’s heading back to Sweden. Also opens up a roster spot and additional 5M in cap space.
Ooh aah forever
