WOW | Wholesome moment as players pay tribute to a 20-year veteran set to retire

The Buffalo Sabres and the Ottawa Senators were meeting, and even though the game at no importance to the standing's end results, it had extended value to a precise player.

Craig Anderson, 41, a veteran of 20 years who disputed 708 regular season games between the Chicago BlackHawks, the Florida Panthers, the Colorado Avalanche, the Ottawa Senators, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres have decided to call it a career.

He sealed the deal with a 4-3 overtime win against Ottawa, the team who he spent the most time with when Casey Mitteldstat scored the O.T. winning goal. However, it's actually the post-game celebration that retained the most attention for the netminder:
