Today Ryan Smyth of the Edmonton Oilers played his 1,270th  and final NHL game.

As he was taking his final lap in tears and saluting fans, we got to witness one of the classiest moments in sports we’ve ever seen. The entire canuck team came back out to individually congratulate Ryan Smyth on an amazing career.

Ain’t hockey just the greatest?

@VanCanucks: Edler on his OT winner: “It’s Danny, if you put your stick there you’re probably going to get the puck.”

@RyanMiller3039: I was a definitely rusty, but getting a win and having Bodhi at his first hockey game made it a great night.
