Not surprised... I'm sure we all knew it was coming after these playoffs.

Great career.

Hard to rank all time though, maybe better if the Buffalo teams had more success.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

The end of a great career. He and Terry Sawchuk are my favorite all-time goalies. I was happy when we decided to bring him back this past season, but it became clear as the year went on that Oz is the better player at this point in their careers. I'm not sure where I would rank him on an all-time list, but I would imagine he would have to be top 5.
