Was on the way to my seats and he was walking right towards me and was kind enough to stop for a photo with me and other fans. Told him about how I was at the game vs the Islanders in 2013 at the Nassau Coliseum where he scored the the OT winner and he definitely got flashbacks and said I must’ve been pretty young then 😂.

  1. He was my first favorite player when I was a kid. Tried modeling his grit on the ice. Now I’m in my young twenties with back problems. 

  2. Girardi is my favorite blue liner until Fox. Gave 110% every night. Love the clip of him getting a puck stuck in his visor and he’s just like “at least it didn’t hit me harder”.

  3. I ran into G at a game too and tested positive for Covid the next night…I joke with my wife that he gave it to me.

  4. Reading all these laurels thrown at him just makes me think of Ryan Lindgren and Batman.

    “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain”

  5. I hate how it ended for him with us, he was a warrior. The replies here make me happy though, because he’s clearly remembered more for the good days and I wasn’t sure if that would be the case.
