One of the true good ones. Playing with the Ducks last season, he looked over at my son and I and tapped the glass and smiled while we watched the warmup. My boy wears #11 because of him. My favourite hockey moment of all time was when he walked out into the arena area, bald from chemo and saluted the crowd. Had one of the toughest jobs in hockey, captain of a team with a crazy media. Didn't blame him one bit for going to Anaheim and escaping the spotlight for the end of his career.
Happy trails, Saku!
