Palffy to Retire

Post by See You Next Wednesday »

Ziggy Palffy Retires

Damn. I was not expecting this at all. He was such a talented offensive player, there were nights with the Kings where everytime he touched the puck you thought he might score. He wasn't dominating on a night to night basis, but the other players made sure they paid attention when he had the puck and even when he didn't. When the Kings were going through their injury spell he was the only player on the Kings that could be reliably expected to produce. It's too bad this injury is too much, because it seems the new NHL is made for him.

That sucks but he took a really wicked hit the other night...forgot who did it but it lead to Maxime Talbot fighting the other guy. Palffy looked to be in bad shape, laying on the ice motionless. I would bet that made his decision pretty easy.

The Penguins cited personal reasons for Palffy's retirement in a news release on Wednesday. A Slovak newspaper reported that Palffy made the decision because of a lingering shoulder injury.
You can thank that piece of shit Keith Carney (worthless Mighty Schmuck of Anaslime) for that shoulder injury, he put the stick under Palffy's arm late in a game in 03-04 and yanked as hard as he could.

Sad news to hear, one of my favorite Kings from the time he joined the team in 99 to the time he left before this season.

Well, combine this with Spezza's month-long day-to-day rib injury and Pavol Demitra's more-serious-by-the-day leg injury, and you've pretty much described my demise in our office pool.

The view was nice from the top while it lasted, anyway!!
