One of my favourite players ever, and a good (if not great) candidate for the HOF, the speed merchant Kariya has decided to hang up his skates.
Despite repeated injuries, especially a pair of horrific concussions (and one last time for the record; 'Fuck You Gary Suter'), the counting stats for his career are excellent;
989 games, 402 goals, 587 assists, 989 points.
The long time Severed Heads FP will be missed.

I really thought he would do one last tour of duty with Selanne but i guess not :(
Scott Stevens' version of the Aaron Rome-Nathan Horton hit from the '03 Final didn't help him any either.
Great player who would have bennefitted from being born a decade later. As it is, what a joy to watch.
Too bad he couldn't play longer...I have to think him for helping Selanne having career numbers. Or is it Kariya that should thank Selanne? Probably mutual.
think / thank
sad memories for the shadows 1st fp...he'll be missed with a ppg career o.ver 15 seasons
with selanne currently having knee surgery, he should be retiring as well...
sad
fail
