Sadly never appreciated who he was especially when they retired his number. I was wrong proud to see his number 30 up in the rafters retired. Best ever to wear 30

That is a pretty strong statement. Kipper in '04 was absolutely insane. That series against the Wings was like watching god play net. He had something like 150 minutes straight without a goal against to get the series win, against the Wings of all teams.
No slight to Vernon, but to say he was definitely the best is very debatable.
