Jakob Silfverberg announces he will retire from the NHL at the end of this season

[snowave]

Respect him most for never taking a night off. Always appeared to give 100%. Lots of good times over the last 11 yrs. Wish you the best, Silvfy.

I remember in his first year with Ducks it was automatic goal for him in the shootouts.

We all wish he had developed his offense a bit more, but I don’t think anyone complains on his defense and effort.

This was one of Silf's first goals in the league and i remember watching like and thinking man, it'd be cool to have this guy on the Ducks

That’s so cool he beat Cary Price.

While not a player that will get his name in the rafters, certainly the next tier below. He's been cooked for a couple of seasons now, but what a great two way forward in his prime.

Cogs-Kesler-Silf one of my favourite Ducks lines, so good at both ends of the ice.

That was a pretty cool thing to do. Props to the Ducks.

Other than Cam and Gibby, he's the last link left to the last time we were even a remotely good team. And like Cam and Gibby, he's been fed a lot of shit around here.

Happy trails to him, it sounds like life's about to get better for him and his family, and he deserves it.

Silf's "I'm too old for this shit" moment.

Silf's "I'm too old for this shit" moment.

His reflection interview he gave to the website reflected that too. Started out great with success, and now it’s been bad. Can’t say I blame him

So he signed with Brynas?

It's a youtube interview all in Swedish. Know idea what is being said, but Silf is more elaborate when talking in Swedish compared to his measured responses in English.

LOL love the "Oh Ah" behind him in that picture

Not much, it's mostly just talking about how he feels coming back home to Brynäs. Brief bit about how it was in the NHL and he says that it was cool, especially reaching the conference finals a couple of times, but that the last five years or so have been a drag and that it's been tough on him and he's excited for a new start back home.

Same things he's said to the media before, really.
