A legend retires. What a player he was for the Habs in his prime.
Of all my years of Habs fandom, he was the most electrifying player I have seen. This goal against the Boston Bruins in game 3 of the 2014 division finals remains the best. I was in the restaurant inside the Bell Centre ('cause I couldn't get tickets) and I swear everyone heard the loudest pop all the way from the inside of the arena to where I was when PK scored the goal.
edit: I forgot to mention that goal came a few days after a bunch of Boston Bruins fans went after him on Twitter with racist messages because he scored 2 goals in game 1 of that same series. Keith Olbermann even labelled Bruins fans as in the "Worst Persons in the Sports World" segment on ESPN when the story about the tweets became public. Of course, we Habs fans were ecstatic that he answered to those racists in the best way possible. PK ended up with 4 goals and 3 assists in that 7-game series against the Bruins.
