I like domi, but it was his time to retire, there is no room for him in the NEW NHL, he will be missed in the leaf dressing room, but in the NHL there is no more room for fighters
I think it is good timing for him to retire. It would have been painful for him, his team and fans to watch him become a prolonged aging goon and nothing else.
How sad! Altough i don't watch Hockey..........i remember the day i met him, i had to ask him a few questions for work (not current job) he was so nice. He has some cuteness in him, you know the cuteness that makes you want to give him a hug!
