Walz to Announce Retirement

Longtime NHLer and Wild veteran Wes Walz will announce his retirement tomorrow, December 1st. TSN, NHL.com, and Wild.com are all reporting this. I think I'm going to go and cry in a corner now. I am very sad that I did not get to see him play this season. He was my favorite Wild player, and has been since Brad Bombardir left. It was strange the way he left the team, but I respect him enough not to ask questions, and I'll leave it at that.

You will be missed, Walzy. All the luck in the world to you and your family in the future, and I hope you are content with your decision.

More tomorrow if I can bring myself to post something.

Very interesting....did he give some reasons?

No that we know of. He was absent from the team for personal reasons. Something may be explained tomorrow morning during the press conference.

The are killing us with the suspense. Supposed to have the press conference up on Wild.com as soon as it is finished. Nothing yet. How long can this take. Sad, sad day.
