JR Ewing Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 This was the first picture for me on a google image search for "cap relief". I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 @OccamsRazor@JR Ewing@Old School Hockey@yave1964 Yeah, he is at that point where the next hit could cause him the need to relearn retying his shoes, cue cards to relearn names and gorilla sized diapers. Hang em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeDDS Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 @OccamsRazor@JR Ewing@Old School Hockey@yave1964 Yeah, he is at that point where the next hit could cause him the need to relearn retying his shoes, cue cards to relearn names and gorilla sized diapers. Hang em up.And someone who he trusts needs to sit him down and be brutally honest with him and tell him like it is. His skating days are over. This is at least a legitimate LTIR. After having a promising preseason, him walking away now can ONLY be because he is legitimately unable to play. This isn't contract gamesmanship here, although the Wings would be better off keeping him on LTIR as long as they can, as @Old School Hockey stated. It's a shame, because the preseason showed to SOME degree that if he is feeling OK, he can contribute. But his play fell off his last two games, and in that game against Carolina, he had an unforeseen collision with an opposing player. I think he may have been already feeling it slightly prior to the hit, and the hit just finished him off. To most players, that collision would be minor. But for him, it was his curtain call. If that is all it took to put him back in bed, he needs to stay away from hockey rinks until he feels as close to 100% as he can get, and never look back. Maybe in a front office role, but nothing more. Opportunity knocks. I'll be interested to see who steps up from the kids to claim his spot.

Red Wings' Johan Franzen has had 'really bad' few months, wife says http://ux.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2018/05/28/johan-franzen-nhl-head-injuries-wife/649351002/ Life afterwards is what really counts.
