Saku Koivu honored pregame at the Bell Centre 

Saku had prob the three biggest standing ovations in habs history. Next to the one the rocket got. Him returning from cancer, him coming back when he played for the ducks and this. So deserving.

My favourite hockey player of all time. Just so much class.

Always the greatest class. Thanks you Saku for the memories!

I was too young to be a true Canadiens fan when they won their latest cup. For whatever reason, right when Saku came into the league joinging the Canadiens, I got behind him. He was and forever will be my favorite hockey player. And a huge part of why I became a die hard Canadiens fan still till this day and forever on! I am from BC Canada. A true role model. Thank you Saku!

Koivu brothers one of the best captains of whole NHL

Thanks for the memories Captain Saku and happy retirement! #GoHabsGo #Club1909 #CanadiensMtl

A great player who should have won a Stanley Cup.

Awesome, I love how he was playing for a different team for 5 years. Yet, he is still a memorable Montreal Canadien! #ThisBroughtMeToTears #Saku #Number11 And, I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but they should retire his jersey :P But maybe later.

Kiitos/Merci Saku.

The C was just always meant to be on this guy.
