Scott Stevens Retirement Ceremony - Part 1

[thinkingjack]

My all time favorite player growing up, number one. Just amazing.

I was there that night and almost cried.

Stevens is the ideal captain, especially for the type of team like the Devils were throughout the 90's and early 00's. Not only did all of his opponents fear him, but he was able to make all of the his teammates play in fear of disappointing him. Many of his teammates have stated that his locker room speeches were some of the most emotional they have heard throughout his career. This man played with such passion and intensity, it was truly an honor to watch him play during my childhood.

Had to watch this today..was there for Stevens and Daneyko night and will be there today for Neidermayer! Go Devs!

[blazehok]

A great skater and put the team first. Leadership by example. 

[kewlnsimpguy]

is it just me or does rafalski look like eminem

[Camps2630]

I would hate going against Stevens, knowing you WILL get nailed and better watch out when in his own zone

[Sandler41882]

Scott Stevens is the best defenceman to ever play the game. Orr and Lidstrom may be better offensively, but there will never be a defenceman who was better well rounded than Scott Stevens. #4 forever.

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@Sandler41882 Potvin. Stevens was a harder hitter, but Potvin was better overall. I love Stevens, but no arguing that Potvin is the best overall defenceman who could hit. I still think Orr was the greatest all time and Potvin is a really close second, but Stevens is the stay at home defensemen.

i went to this game we clapped for like 15min i think i even cried....4ever love to #4

[KWCline91]

what music is played at the beginning

[barkleysound]

he deserves a james norris trophy 

[MJHJDP]

Scott Stevens...The greatest defenseman Devils have ever had. Hurricanes are not as bad as you think. I now live 20 minutes from the Canes stadium. I am a diehard Devils fan but the Canes are a respectful team.

[matthebrat1228]

i HATE the canes, lets face it... theyve been the thorn in our side for years now... but a lot of respect was shown by them here

[hckyboi19]

[LongLiveOx]

Doc Emerick's such a great announcer. He knows just how to set the mood.

Scott Stevens: Legend.

[kewlnsimpguy]

I wonder how brodeurs retirement is going to be ...

[jerseyboy18]

there's no question his jersey # will b retired, but i wonder if they are gonna have the stanley cup for marty to lift one more time

[KeithGaskin]

not if he doesnt win in in the last game before he retires????????

[AngryTypingGuy27]

Ha, it's funny the Canes where at this game when we lost to them in the playoffs the same season.

[FranklinSherman]

You got to hand it to Brindamour for having his team sit through the ceremony, that shows an incredible amount of respect for a player that has been his enemy for years. This was the classiest ceremony I have ever seen.

Lets Go Devils.

[kewlnsimpguy]

i dont get what u mean... every ceremony theres an enemy team just sitting there
