Those two are like glass.

Unreal.

 

[DChero]

This is even worse than being out because of a fight with another goalie. I bet he can clear waivers when he's back...

EDIT: Talking about DP. Yeah... DP.

EDIT 2: DiPietro is DP.

 

[Darkstone42]

Why doesn't he just retire? It's not like he plays hockey right now as a hockey player...

Unreal.

his northern eye-talian paisanos call him Ricky Di Vietro

/means "of the glass"

is there another way to do it?

 

[Darkstone42]

is there another way to do it?

Well, it appears there are two options:

1. Actually play hockey.
2. Spend your entire career rehabbing from injuries and not playing hockey.

He tried, but retirement doesn't have a LTIR.

Man, tough break...

Maybe the Isles can sign Glasscal Leclaire to replace him.

 

[mattola]

if he retires he loses those last 10 years of his contract no

 

[mattola]

poor fuckign guys really I feel bad for them.

 

[DChero]

Seriously, why is it not an option to put him through waivers?

I forgot about him.

 

[awaz]

Seriously, why is it not an option to put him through waivers?

does he have a no movement clause?

(maybe he should have an actual no movement clause, as an injury prevention attempt)

does he have a no movement clause?

(maybe he should have an actual no movement clause, as an injury prevention attempt)

Bravo.

 

[KillerVee]

He seriously needs to make amends with whatever witch doctor he pissed off..

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Someone somewhere has a DP voodoo doll and isn't shy about using it.
