I knew this moment was coming but I just held onto that little bit of hope that we'd see him lace up with the jets a little while longer, but this is just the way things gotta be. I will always miss his crazy antics with the jets.

Jamie Benn doesn't back down from anybody and holds his own against everyone including Buff. Both of em are great.

Where’s his goal off binningtons head in playoffs?

Saw him play live in Ottawa, for the Jets, many years ago while at a youth tournament with my son's team. Every time he stepped on the ice, he was by far the best player - it wasn't even close. The thing I remember most about him was he never, ever looked down, ever, while skating with the puck, his head was up, on a swivel, just looking for the best play. He was the best player on the ice at 10 years old in the most elite kids' tournament (The Brick) and he was almost always the best player on the ice in the NHL. A true legend.

Favorite player to watch....EVER!

I hope it’s “so far” I want to see him play again

big man can use his hands to deke you, or send you to the stars....love big buff i really hope he keeps playing... what a f*cking beauty
