  1. What a moment. Congrats on a great career Bickell.

    Also, let's stop shitting on Flyers fans. They gave him a standing ovation during the game. I know this doesn't fit the narrative of what everyone likes to think because of something that happened years ago, whatever that might be, but that's not what it was tonight.

  2. He looked like a million bucks with that shot! Sad to see him go, I wish nothing but the best for him and his family.

  3. Still can't get me as good as when Duper retired from the pens, the tribute video had me in the palm of its hands

  4. Going out on a bang. Props to bicks and Peters for giving him first shot. Also nice to see a standing ovation from an away crowd😃. LETS GO CANES🏒

  5. can ppl go watch hawks playoff tuns and see how many times this beast tallies? Sending mad respect from BC

  6. He has always been one of my favorite players. He has a certain style that I admire in a player; a great attitude, incredible talent, a smile that is so contagious. I was so happy to be at this game.

  7. Beautiful does he want to coach shooters on how to score on a shoot out I know a team that doesn't know how to score on a shoot out

  8. Many  best  wishes   to Bryan Bickell   from myself here   in the UK  as  I have  fought MS  for 45 years  here  NO MS meds  ever  to  slow  it  down also   and  still  alive  and kicking .

  9. Got to watch this man win championships with my favorite team. It's hard to see him go. But he went out right.

  10. That’s a textbook, clean, amazing way to end your career, love rewatching this from time to time.

  11. I love coming back to this highlight from time to time. What a laser! You're the man Bicks!

  12. In June of 2016, the Chicago Blackhawks wanted to get rid of Brian Bickell's contract to free up cap space. The Hurricanes said don’t worry about that, we’ll take that contract off your hands, but we’re going to need some payment in exchange for taking it on. We need a good young forward, and then we’ll send you a second and a third for that guy and Bickell. Sound good? The Blackhawks said yes. Soon after, Brian Bickell would start to have some injury trouble that would eventually be diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis. In 2017, he played his last NHL game against the Flyers and he was selected to shoot for the Carolina Hurricanes. If possible, find the clip of that shot (hah, you already have), because the *ping* that puck made as it went post and in is just beautiful. An amazing story that the Hurricanes got for basically nothing. The two draft picks haven’t really panned out and it doesn’t look like they will anytime soon. By the way, that good young forward that got thrown in with Bickell? Some Finnish guy named Teuvo Teravainen.
