Sportsnet: Colton Orr officially retires

[Snow Dog]

I saw back near Christmas, that he wasn't playing with anyone this season (NHL or AHL) and the report said he had already retired.., but I guess this is now "official"...

All the best with your future, Colton..! Make the best of it.. and don't look back with any regrets... It's just a change in hockey.. and not you...

Here's some memories to share...

His face rings a bell.

His fists rang some bells too.

NHL would keep it if not for concussion lawsuits (Look at the NFL).

He and his line mates may have taken a year or two off Chara's career during that playoff series

Go into my Marlies Playoff thread in here.. and watch the fights in Connor Carrick's/ Sam Carrick's/ Richard Clune's... and most of all.., the guy we hardly saw all season .. Justin Johnson.., who I gave the video name "Thumper" to... Some heavy duty ones in those videos..

No time to watch them all right now.Good work.I think the big club could use some of that style of play.We currently have the softest team in the league.

Chills! The guy was a warrior, I'm really going to miss this brand of hockey, but it does take its toll.

 

[ShaneFalco]

He was one of the toughest in the league

No..., I have to disagree... (I wouldn't have, in the past, though..)

First of all, the League has changed (and will keep changing in this direction for quite awhile.., whether everybody likes it, or not)... Too many investigations going on right now, with drug abuse... and head injuries... The pressure is on the League to eliminate these things..

Secondly, what the heck do you mean about "soft"...? 'Take the time"... to watch those videos, because we do have back-up here, when ultimately needed.. Besides, Komarov lays out more hits himself each season, then some of the other full-teams combined...

Add Loov, C. Carrick and a couple of other Marlies onto the team.. and we have players who can actually put up points AND (when needed)... put up their dukes..

 

[SEER]

Well..., I had this guy on my to-do list for awhile.., but was going to wait until mid-late summer to get it done..

Now with this news, it inspired me to make up a new video for Colton right away.., so it should make a lot of hockey-fiight lovers very happy... ...and I will warn all those who don't like fights, not to watch this video.. It's loaded with them..!
