Since the season ended, I've let things settle down, and I have to talk to the coaching staff and management. I really don't want to turn this into a big drama. So I plan on making a definite decision relatively quickly.
From Steve Yzerman
It's been a great honor for me to be a player for the Detroit Red Wings, to play for an Original Six franchise. I know I'm far from perfect, but I learned a lot.
It's almost like you see too much, because when it happens for real, everything flies at you so fast, you never get a sense of the ice and where everyone is at that one moment.
I've been hit hard a few times, been hit really hard a few times, but I don't think I've ever left a memorable, lasting impression on anyone I've ever hit.
I'm very confident my health isn't going to allow me to be a good player, especially in the spring.
I'm never gonna play again, and I know I'm really, really going to miss it.
I'm exhausted trying to stay healthy.
I look forward to a lot more free time, at least initially, with my wife, Lisa, and our three children.
I hope people like me and appreciate me the way I am.
I don't know that I'd agree I was our best player.
