Most of us knew this time was coming a few months back, but it doesn't make it any less easier to take.

I don't blame him one bit for following his heart. I'm happy I got to see a talent like his play in the NHL for 14 seasons, and that they were all in Detroit. Even at 37, the void he leaves in the Wings lineup will be huge.

...and if you don't think Datsyuk, aka "The Magic Man", was something special? Check out this highlight reel.



Don't have 45 minutes? You could just watch this one on Marty Turco too.

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr
