Everyone who retires due to injury is actually hurt - Pronger, Zetterberg, Hossa, Clarkson, DiPietro, Franzen, all had real issues. Pronger and Franzen couldn’t be in lit rooms, DiPietro’s hips and face are made of tissue-paper, Zetterberg ####ed his back, and Hossa couldn’t wear his equipment.


If they all could have kept playing, they would.

I was with you until you got to Hossa. Hossa could wear his equipment just fine while they were contending and he was making bank.
