“Retiring today allows me to walk away with pride, rather than have the game walk away from me.”
Nick Lidstrom
The old guy retires — what a stellar player, what a stellar carreer — bigups and best of luck for Lidstrom.
We’re sure we’ll be seeing him around
Happy Birthday Steve!
BAHAHHAHHAHA
Pekka Rinne will catch your bullets, bro. (We were skeptical about the guy’s contract with the Preds, but we admit we were wrong.)
Darren Helm’s injury (was cut at the forearm/wrist by the skate of Radulov) could be serious. (According to USA Today, the last Wing to suffer a cut to his forearm was Mike Modano. He was cut by the skate of R.J. Umberger in a game the day after Thanksgiving in November 2010, had surgery the next day, and ended up missing half the season.)
