SAY IT AIN"T SO!!!

It is rumored on several hockey sites that long-time Red Wing and last skating member of the infamous The Grind Line, Kris Draper will announce his retirement on Tuesday. Through 20 NHL seasons Draper played in 1157 games, scoring 161 goals and assisting on 203. He was also known for his defensive skills and in 2004 was awarded the Selke Trophy for being the league's best defensive forward.

I was a fan of Kris Draper because he was a tenacious worker. The nouns spoken by him in the commercial below are excellent labels for a great player.



As a member of The Grind Line, Kris Draper was instrumental in helping the Wings win four Stanley Cup trophies.


Thanks Mac, Drapes, and Malts ... you'll be missed.
