SevenSeasJim Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) - Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Ziggy Palffy will retire because of a lingering shoulder injury, a Slovak paper reported Wednesday."I have agreed on all matters related to my retirement with the Pittsburgh management," Palffy told the Sport daily. "There is no point in suffering any longer."It was uncertain whether Palffy would retire immediately or at the end of the season. Neither the Penguins nor NHL officials would comment to the paper.Palffy, 33, was injured while playing for the Los Angeles Kings at Anaheim in January 2004, and had reconstructive surgery on his right shoulder twice, but the problems persisted."I have talked to my doctor and he did not recommend a third operation," Palffy told the newspaper.Earlier this year, Palffy retired from the Slovak national team ahead of the Turin Olympics.

dave-O Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Sort of a sad end to the career of a guy who was a great player on some terrible teams in Long Island and LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yep, I'm going to finish last.Not if my crappy team has anything to say about it. In fact, all I need is one more injury and Ive pretty much cemented it. Im thinking of putting in a request for only Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy CD's.
