Henrik "The Calgary Tower" Karlsson has retired from Pro hockey
Will always be remembered for his energetic fist pumps.

He had a great KHL career after he left North America.

I loved the nickname most and hope him the best in his post-hockey life.

Taking a while to get to 5000
No Sonic the Hedgehog pics/gifs? That guy curled up in a tiny ball like no other goalie I've seen.

Years ago, I was at a nightclub here in Calgary. I saw Henrik, hanging out with one of my old friends. It was weird, because he was a good foot and a half taller than my buddy.
I was introduced to him and then I told him that he was better than Kiprusoff (he wasn't). He gave me a huge hug, bought me a drink and started following me around.
It was a weird situation, but he is super nice and friendly.

There was also dancing to EDM music and my brother asking who this enormous white guy is hanging out with a bunch of middle eastern dudes.

I preferred his other nickname better, Henrik "The Hot Karl" Karlsson
