Opponents shake hands with Craig Anderson in his final game

Veteran NHL goaltender Craig Anderson just did it the right way, folks.

The 41 year old Buffalo Sabres goalie just put up an OTW against his former teammates on the Ottawa Senators and will now ride off into the sunset and retire from professional hockey.

The festivities started earlier in the day for the Andersons when Craig’s sons Jake and Levi had the honor of calling out the game’s starting lineup.

That’s hockey, baby.
