  1. goosebumps still to this day…. What an amazing person let alone an amazing player. We miss you Saku ❤

  2. Too bad we never see him now hanging around..he must not care about the fans anymore

  3. I was at that game cheering him on. My dad had passed away a few years prior to this due to cancer so I was especially emotional. This might the most memorable game I have ever attended. I miss Saku…

  4. I remember giving him a standing ovation from my living room…what a magical moment that still gives me chills. All the love for our captain!!

  5. i dont cry every single time i see this or his return wearing anaheim colours… nope, not me.

  6. One of my favourite memories and I still get chills from seeing it. I legit wore a Koivu shirt today and then I see this! Chef kiss!
