I didn't know you had to make to the top to ever be able to retire....

Last time I checked the AHL is PRO hockey.

When you're an NHL draft pick and have played any number of seasons of professional hockey where, you know, you're making your living doing it, and you hang them up permanently...it's retiring. But hey, people can use whatever they term their little hearts desire.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I don't think it is very funny. But hey. That's just me.

Its certainly not anything tragic, people get hurt and lives are changed, I am sure he will lead a long healthy life so I am not gonna shed any tears but feel free to cry us all a river

Don't believe I ever said I cried over it. But if you are forced to retire from something you love, that really sucks.

Why are you getting so worked up over this?

Seems like you are getting worked up over what I said, I was just stating some logic.

you are right, i guess that he was, for all practical purpose, was a hawks prospect. i guess that is i hope he does well.

would i feel the same way if he was not a hawks prospects.... maybe not as much if he was a hawks prospect.

Pretty needlessly defensive, I was just making an observation. It's understandable and quite forgivable given your current state of shakiness however, no worries.

What's funny about it? The AHL is still pro hockey.
