X. Benedict Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 If he hadn't of been buried in Phoenix all those years in his prime....this would probably be leading the headlines in the hockey world. 20 years..... and about 17 really, really good ones.

PASabreFan Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 - 82 game season-long play began to feel heavy period last year. En olisi varmaan enää pystynyt siihen ruljanssiin, Numminen perusteli lopettamispäätöstään Suomen Kuvalehdelle . I should probably no longer able to rigmarole, Numminen has justified terminate the Finnish newspaper Fig. The whole team appeared to suffered a heavy period last year. But, I mean, if the guy can't rigmarole anymore... forgetaboutit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Sad to see Teppo go, but at least he'll leave the Sabres well liked. Keep that hair long and greasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresFan526 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Congrats on a great career. It was time, but he was a great player. He was really good for Buffalo before the heart problems. I would hope he pursues a career in coaching. He'd be a great coach and teacher for younger defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Teppo. U da man. They should give him a send off opening night. i'm with you on that.. thank you Teppo. :beer: it'd be great if we could keep him around to mentor/coach all the young defensive talent we've got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR61 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Jäähyväiset Teppo. He didn't have the same physical skills late in his career, but he always had good "hockey sense". He had a knack of making the right defensive play or pass. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbossy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Don Baizley confirmed reports first released on a Finnish Web site Tuesday that the 41-year-old Numminen is calling it a career after 20 seasons in the NHL to join the Finnish national team as a scout for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. http://www.buffalonews.com/494/story/754910.html Maybe he can watch some vid's for B-lo?
