Why not just retire his number?

I like the Carolina Hurricanes. I really do.

Their owner, Peter Karmanos also owns our local OHL team, the Plymouth Whalers who we support. Both teams seem to be well run franchises and have won their respective championships in recent years. I do know first-hand that the Whalers treat their fans pretty well and I would assume that since the teams have a common owner, the Hurricanes do as well.

Ok, with that said............

Ahem, the Carolina Hurricanes hung a banner to honor a player who made the All Star Team!

No, they really did. Visual evidence is above.

(Silence)

(I am going to be nice because I like the Hurricanes. Skate Kid even has a Hurricanes jersey that he wears around town)

Well here goes.

Ummm, I hope the banner is so high that nobody can see it.

Yea, let's go with that.
