properly, i fairly desire no longer. Sundin is a gifted hockey participant and he has shown that even at 37 / 38 years of age he continues to be in the elite skills in the league. He performed brilliantly this previous 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and carried a crew of underperformers on his again all 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. besides the undeniable fact that, herein lies the rub. The Leafs are not any further going to be a Cup contender for years with the way they are coping with the crew. in the present day, they have Sundin, Kaberle, and Toskala who're no longer disappointments... which means there are dissimilar different holes on that crew. If I were Sundin, i'd be critically worried that yet another 3 hundred and sixty 5 days of taking area in for this crew would basically deliver about more beneficial existence-lengthy aches and pains without threat for glory. Sundin isn't hurting in his retirement fund so he would not want back. I say that he retires! He would not fairly prefer to yet you need to bounce off a sinking deliver in some unspecified time sooner or later and that aspect seems now. in actual reality, a disillusioned Leaf fan who sees a number of more beneficial upcoming years of lacking the playoffs as a marvelous threat.

Yzerman was 42 years old. Sundin just turned 36 today. Yzerman was a great player but was plagued by many nagging injuries and he wanted to go out on top. Sundin still has something to prove and when he wins the Stanley Cup in Toronto he may retire then.

What next, why doesn't Mark Recchi retire? If the man can keep up and still play good, and Sundin looked fine against the Pens, then why retire?

Why would he??? He's healthy, productive and the Leafs team leader. He also hasn't won the prized Stanley Cup. Yzerman could no longer keep up to the new faster paced NHL, was no longer productive and was not healthy by any means. He had also won the cup a number of times with the Wings.

What are you talking about? Yzerman is 6 years older than Sundin.
Sundin is still in good condition and is performing well.

Because he still feels strong enough to keep playing. Yzerman had problems with his legs.

Yzerman is 42 and his knee has just kept him from producing like he used too. thats why he retired.

I totally agree with you man.. he should.. i believe all players should retire once they hit 34-35
it destroys league play. old guys
look at soccer, they retire at around 33
basketball around 34-35
football around 36
baseball is around 37
but hockey is the hardest game to play
most rigorous, id say 34-35 good age
chelious is 44 and thats just ridiculous

you need to get your facts straight, Sundin is much younger, and still playing well.
Yzerman had a good run but he was plauged with constant aches and pains due to his rough played earlier years.
