WOW! That's quite unexpected isn't it? Is it the injury that sidelined him this season that has ended his career? (I could click, but I'm not that good a multitasker...)
the timing was unusual,mid-March, but the announcement wasn't really surprising, given the issues he's had with his back,going back even to his MVP seasons.
for what he's done for basketball in Canada, a trophy s/b named after him.
Otherwise....I'm having a hard time recalling another team as unpredictable as this edition of the Canucks.
They beat teams you think they'll lose to,eg Penguins,Rangers,Islanders,Kings,Ducks,Wings.....and they lose to teams you think they'll beat,egDevils,Sabres,Jackets,etc.
Scary team to bet on....and scary team to bet against.
playoff races in full swing, with a bit of luck we could see 5 Cdn cities in the dance.of course,it's that close,we might only see one, the Habs.
if there's a clear team-to-beat in either conference I don't know who that is?
maybe we're getting closer to parity?not pure parity,as there are bottom-feeders in the McDavid Sweepstakes, but is ther much to choose between teams in the upper echelon,say the top 10?
playoffs s/b fun.
Dallas Cowboys taking heat for signing Hardy,who comes with considerable baggage.I think charges of domestic violence were dropped when his girl-friend/fiancée(?)refused to testify.
Apparently she was paid off to drop the charges.
the NFL hasn't been exactly abundant with role models the past 12 months or so.
