Words are very/unnecessary/they can only do harm

Players wear Mike Vernon's name and number during warmup

The man of the hour steps up to the podium

A touching moment as Vernon recalls the help of his late mother in his career

#30's banner rises behind him and his family

Mike Vernon waves goodbye to the fans. Thanks for the memories Verny.

My only complaint about the whole night (besides the performance put on by both teams), is that the banner is in the team's current colours and design rather than the team Vernon actually played on. Its tacky and weird.
