The King of Slovenia 🇸🇮 👑
As a Sharks fan, this man is responsible for a lot of pain and suffering, but I hate to see him go, a true legend. Enjoy retirement Anze, you’ve earned it ❤️

As an Oilers fan, I have nothing but respect for Anze. He had such an incredible career and will be dearly missed by fans all around including myself. 👑

Future member of the HOF
from a Hawks fan, best wishes #11, you played the game the right way….
Class act great career
Think I cried a little. Hope he continues to be apart the Kings organization ❤ and 4ever a King
As much as Dustin Brown is my favorite captain the Kings have had, including Gretzky…Kopitar is the BEST player the Kings have ever had, bar none.
Anze Kopitar is the only Kings player I always respected. Even though he plays for the Kings who are the cross town rival of the team I cheer for, the Anaheim Ducks. Happy retirement Anze, I hope you have a long and joyous life.
One of the greatest 2-way centers, too bad the kings were a defensive team early in his career and we missed out on his scoring ability but we saw it in the Olympics.
As a Seattle fan . I have the up most respect and love for you Anze and your family and good luck in the playoffs ❤❤❤ we will miss you
Enjoy the retirement and the time with your family Anze, you earned the hell outta it. Thank you for the 20 years with us. You'll be miss like crazy. GO KINGS GO forever.
Complete player . Very underrated. His longevity and his consistency to this team. His loyalty to play his entire career in one place but two cups for kings. Leader in points 15/20 years, multiple selke and lady bying award. What a phenomenal career. He doesn't get mentioned enough cause of the nacdavids and McKinnons and Crosbys but one of the best European players of all time.
King of Kings!
Thank you Kopi!
Awesome,a true hockey player,has always had class
Never got to another Stanley Cup final with him as Captain
Kopi will be a LA KINGS ICON #11 GO KINGS GO 🏒👑
He is one of my favorite hockey players of all time.
I'm Pens fan, but I'll miss✊
Legend . I’d pick him for my team
From a canucks fan, have a lot of respect for you. Pure class! Best wishes. ❤❤
This is what LOYALTY looks like. All the best Anze 👍🏒🥅🏒🙏
Thank Anzi. You were and always will be a class act! The nhl lost today
Nothing is forever and no one is forever in the sports competitions…
Good Job Done – Anze Kopitar!
Enjoy retirement. Who will be next Kings captain? Kempe?
