@lownrgy Oh, I totally agree. In retrospect as impressive as it was for him to return, it probably wasn't the right thing to do. My comment was directed toward all the incoherent ramblings of people making unjustified criticisms just to make themselves feel cool.
@lyronpa that was hockey before they didn't understand how symptoms of concussion do and situations like here should be handled. feel really sorry for kariya. not saying that they can do much about these nowadays either..
this is when hockey had its last true hockey moment, in my mind. these days, stevens wouldve been suspended, kariya wouldve been out for months and not able to play through it and score this goal.
@BENNYSIEGEL90 Sadly it was Kariya's choice to leave, which may have been the worst decision of his career. He was building a HOF career in Anaheim and the fans loved him. After he left, his name and career didn't stand out like it used to. To Anaheim fans, he's like an ex: we all remember how great it was with him as our captain, but once he left we felt betrayed and didn't want him back. we've moved on. It'll be interesting to see if he makes it into the HOF one day.
Oh sure, Scott Stevens really hoped Kariya would get up.... Yeah, I call bull.

I honestly have to say, I heard this dirty, but You could see the way Scott was moving, it looked mostly clean, he hit him with his Bicep

I wish Paul would have came back to get his 1000th point. He was so close, story of his career.

Poor Paul. To add salt to injury Niedermayer would later won a cup with team Paul gave half of his career to.

Best part was when he came back and just ripped it past marty. I'm a wings fan and I get crazy chills when I see that
