Koivus Return From Cancer.

[Bleu-Blanc-Rouge]

Does anyone remember what the date of Sakus return from cancer was? I believe it was a game against the Sens. Does anyone remember the outcome of that match?

Thanks

I remember it being a win against the Bruins. SOmething like 3 games left in the regular seasno which would make it maybe April 7th or so but that's a rough guess.

I think it was the sens. Atleast that's what this video says.

And the biggest winner of them all is Koivu and his family.

We're just blessed by being in the company of this winner.

something like 5-2. I taped it, it's somewhere in a box

I remember that rivet scored and ran on the bench into saku's arms. what a sight.

I remember that game. And I shed a tear.

The only other time I can remember doing that was during Mario's comebacks.

The exact date was Tuesday April 9th vs Ottawa in Montreal during the 2001-2002 season. Habs went on to win that game 4-3. Great Game and emotional return of the great "Captain K"
