THIS is what it’s all about.
So many times this has happened, not just with Gretz. Ryan Smyth, The Sedin's, and so many more. Its an amazing show of respect!
Classy move
I remember Jerome iginla doing this for Trevor linden in Vancouver
Absolute class act, so much respect, great to see.
Not to correct Ray Ferraro or diminish what Ovi did, but I’ve seen this a number of times – as others have said, it’s what makes the sport so incredible. I remember Iginla made his team come back out to shake Trevor Linden’s hand, who wasn’t even close to a HOFer but extremely respected for his leadership. Love hockey so damn much!
All great players receive this and i guaranty ovi the great 8 will also receive the same
That's two guys that respect each other
Flyers fan here. MAJOR respect to Ovi for this ! So awesome 😎
I love hockey
Wow Ovi the class
Top notch
Absolutely a beautiful moment ❤️
That is how it is done!
Class ❤
Class athletes. Class sport.
Everyone loves Flower!
Odouchekin is no Gretzky … though he tries very hard publicly to be
Ovi's biggest rival besides Crosby was Crosby's teammate, Evgeni Malkin… and then Fleury.
The Penguins had our number for a decade til recently.
This is respect 🙏🏿

Class act
Bro I’m only 28 and I’ve seen this for half a dozen guys, pay attention ray
I was pissed when the Golden Knights traded Fleury.
Great show of respect and humanity
to multigenerational nhlers!
Class act 🥂🍻
Not only a great hockey player but a great human. That's why he's called The Great 8…
Respect.
Respect
Class act
Ovi is truly the best of our time. Watching him battle Fleury earlier in his career against Pittsburgh for what felt like forever. Seeing them both as old guys makes me feel older than I am
The Sedins did this for Ryan smith
It’s a classy move but to say , he can’t recall ever seeing this before ? He got the same respect the last game he played the Bell Centre .
Fans won't forget being at this game. Ticket stubs will be saved from this one.
Respect
It’s happens once every couple years not only Gretzky, but it’s awesome
Ovi respects the game, well done, Fleury one of the best at that position
This is what respect and legends are made of
As a Golden Knights die hard, love seeing Flower get his flowers. He's a Penguin but he graced multiple teams
That is absolutely respect good lads❤
Flower ❤❤❤
Guy has over 600 wins, like 3-4 cups, and somehow is so underrated
That's why hockey players are a special professional league.
What a wonderful thing Ovi did
That’s what hockey is all about ! Love it !❤
