What was the injury on Dougie that ended his career? Like, what specifically happened? Hard to tell from that play.

Hyperextended his knee and tore his ACL and MCL
This was when he returned to Toronto, was pushing 40 if I recall correctly, and was planning on retiring at year end.
The incident was in March and I think the article is from that September

In the awkward crash, Mr. Gilmour hyperextended the knee, partially tearing both the medial collateral and anterior cruciate ligaments. He never returned to the ice after that, and has still not sufficiently progressed in his long, slow rehabilitation to the point where he's even skated this year.
