      Luongo was a sieve in the playoffs. He was ONLY above average in regular season which is quite useless hence why luongo lost the role in 2011 to Schneider and was traded off. I think be knew it too, hence the early retirement compared to real hall of fame cup winning tenders like Brodeur. I was a big lu fan as a young goaltender growing up. But facts are facts. He couldn't handle playoff extra effort and pressure.

    You do realize Zetterberg doesn't get paid 6 million a season since he's been on IR right....first year was like 3.35 mil last two of his contract he actually gets paid 1 million. AAV doesn't mean they make that the full time zetterbergs contract was front loaded

    Why did Grabovski stop playing though? I just now realized he wasn't still playing.

    It was a sad day when Hank and the magic man retired.

    cody hodgson. a perfect example of how some players get paid for their perceived potential, rather than their accomplishments. typically high draft picks get this treatment.

      I remember him coming to Nucks camp after crazy good preformance at world juniors and the anticipation of good things to come.
      False rumors, a misdiagnosed back injury, and a shocking trade later, it was years before his actual condition was revealed.
      He had a heart arrhythmia, and suffered blackouts from malignant hyperthermia, the genetic disorder that ultimately caused him to retire far too early.
      Sad finish to a promising pro career.

    You should do something like this. Just with players who signed big contracts to be in a commercial.
    And pin this.
    I bet you won’t
