huh, looks like one-time ‘Canes winger and journeyman player Rob DiMaio may have his hand forced into retirement. What a crappy way to have a long-time career come to an end – can’t get doctor’s clearence to play for 07-08, and isn’t getting any younger. Always hate to see guys like that who still have the drive to play, have their bodies tell them in such a dramatic fashion that it’s time to hang up the skates.
Too bad. Rob had one of his best career seasons with the Canes in the 2000-2001 campaign, totaling his 3rd highest season point total, and 2nd highest games played in a season total.
Speaking of other long-time players that have been ‘forced’ into quasi-retirement, anyone hear anything about what John LeClair’s plans are? Since the Pens ditched him last year, I’d not heard anything about him what-so-ever, other than a rumor at the end of the season about a possible short re-union with the Flyers to ‘retire as a Flyer’.
Ah well. Enough for now, I’m finishing my lunch break.
