I had made up my mind after the conference finals that I was done. I told all the players. I told (Flyers General Manager Bob Clarke). I met (Flyers chairman) Mr. (Ed) Snider in the hallway. I called the coaching staff and I told my family.
It hasn't been a whole lot of fun playing lately, with the aching and all the pills and needles. The time off should do some good for my body.
