i just glad he's hung them up before he tarnishes his career like ricky henderson who has played for more teams then there is countries in the world
I cant even remember the last time he played a full season. Most athletes have a hard time retiring from their sport.
he retired? kinda sad.
that sydney crosby kid better watch out. immensly talented players always seem to have a big ass target painted on them. they always end up retiring because of health issues.
cam neely.
bobby orr.
eric lindros. wait. he hasnt realized he should retire yet.
one of my favorite Mario Lemieux memories is when he was skating in the same direction as Ray Bourque and put it through his skates and passed him like he wasnt even there. according to Don Cherry, Mario said "i always wanted to do that."
i saw him fucking around with the puck in warm up once and he flipped up the puck onto the blade of his stick and then kinda spun around his stick and the puck stayed on. not that hard to do but then he did it in the other direction. that is the hard part. i have been trying to do that since i saw him do it and i cant even come close. i have pegged one of my teammates in the helmet with an errant puck because of it once though.

I'm sad ..but I'm glad he retired....
Only because ..a player of that caliber ....it's a sad state of affair.
I mean....he gave it all he had..playing wise and business wise.
At this stage now....doing all he could do....the money is definetly not an issue for him....why risk more of his health... It's not worth it....
I hope i speak for all here...but i don't want him to end on a horrible situation...with his heart condition that is..
I feel bad for him...really do...It's hard but he made the right decision...No stress needed!!!
Also...it's no secret....the pens are up for sale now....he figured....go out now...there's no support in Pittsburg...get out with he's still has a chance for a healthy life style......Enjoy life....he's earned it!!!

lol, holy shit man will you give it up with the leafs. i didn't even go on this long about the black eyed peas sucking ass.The Lizard King said:
we get, you don't like them. lots of people don't and lots of others do.
Maybe Mario should have played for the Maple Leafs because he has the same initials! The Leafs are in a bit of a slump but the only thing that matters is to a) make the playoffs and b) hit your stride and your peak for the playoffs!
Mario was a class act all the way and wouldn't it have been wonderful to have the current rules during the glory days of Mario and Bobby and Guy and Wayne and the other superstars! Having a shootout with those boys would have made it very exciting never mind factoring the rules favoring a bit more free wheeling!
