Ditto! My first favorite player! Sad to see him leave the guy, but he had a great career. I'm starting to feel old!

I started getting into hockey around 06-07(ironically their really bad year) and I just loved the way he played the game and he was still so good then

I remember his rookie year.. got his jersey for my birthday. My dad had to get a custom jersey because Gagne ones didn't exist yet. Wore it a pretty gross amount of times for a few years after that

Crazy to think how many incarnations of Flyers teams Gagne was a big part of. 2000, 2004, 2008, 2010. He gave the 2006-07 season something special. Truly a Flyers legend.

Simon Gagne: 'I'm always going to be a Flyer'

The guy was an absolute sniper for a number of years for us. It's really sort of what we're missing now. The player with the potential for 300+ shots and 45+ goals. He did that for us for a brief period, but also was always a plus player. Definitely a fan favorite forever.
