well poorboy.. that seems to be a trend.
see temmu selane,and rob neidermeyer, look at it this way.. if he comes back it could be later on if he changes his mind..
i agree.. its not fair, but until someone starts penalizing players for doing this. Im afraid the trend is going to catch on to older players in the league. i like to think its classless as well .There is a reason SUNDIN, has never won a Stanley Cup with any of his teams in the NHL.
Here are some classy older players in the league that i can think of who i could think of off the top of my head, who wouldnt do that to thier fans and thier respected teams.
Brodeur and Scott Stevens
Mark Messier and Brian Leetch
Steve Yzerman, chelios.
SUNDIN, SELLANE, AND ROB N.
classless.. i hope they get injured first day they come back.
