“He is taking a job as a pro scout with the Columbus Blue Jackets and will be based in Chicago.”

Classy move by Columbus.

Hobey Baker winner. Probably would have had a pretty decent career. Looking at the video of the hit - was there contact with his head? It didn't look like it to me, so maybe it was when he came down, he hit it on the ice?

Just wondering if it was a chinstrap issue.

Either way - sounds like the correct decision to retire.

John Buccigross has written a fantastic full length story about Blake. Gets into his relationship with his grandfather and the family support he has around him. If you want an in depth read and a time killer at the office well worth the read.

But before Geoffrion's head hit the ice, Cote's razor-sharp skate blade carved into the bone two inches above Geoffrion's left ear with blunt force.

Well, there's the answer as to what happened. Yikes.

That hit reminds me of Regehr on Aaron Downey.
