It Was Time
After 16 years in the NHL, Dallas Drake announced his retirement today. He was drafted by the Red Wings in 1989--NOT 1898!--and played for Winnipeg, Phoenix, and St. Louis, as well as the Wings. He had thought about retiring last year, but decided to try for the Stanley Cup one more time and came back to play with the Wings. Good decision! :) Enjoy the rest, Dally, and thanks for the memories:

ReplyDeleteWow! that's a long time to be playing in the world of hockey, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAt the age of 39, you certainly don't find too many still going. Although, the Wings captain--Lidstrom--is 38, turning 39 in April, and still has a couple of years left on his contract. For some reason, the Wings seem to help players' longevity. :) Chelios is going to be 47--but he is a freak of nature--and Hasek was 43. I don't know how their bodies hold up!
