He played a good long time. He has done fine things. He deserves to rest now. That's my take. I was the same way when Ray Borque retired.

He's 41.

No doubt he's earned it but god damn it, it's the end of an era! It calls for a toast.

...mm. Marmalade toast.

He's stayed on three years longer than I thought he would.

Much love to him. He's leaving very large shoes to fill.

Yeah. I know. It is just one of those things. I don't have many people I look up to or anything like that but Stevie has always been there and he has always been a classy guy and one of the few people I could always point to in professional sports as someone who played for a team, who wasn't out there for himself but for the team and the fans.

I would have liked to have seen him play one more time.

Oh, I agree.

I'm just sad I'll never see him play again.

It is the end of an era.

I wonder who will get the C next year.

The guy I would have given it to might not play because of the whole medical issue...

Huge shoes. Just huge.

[arian1.livejournal.com]

I agree with your agreeing.

One of the greats.

As... unfavorable as I look at the Red Wings, Stevie Y's nothing but class.
