Niedermayer retires...
Scott Niedermayer retired after 18 seasons,playing with two teams,New Jersey,and Anaheim... i dislike Anaheim,but never disliked Niedermayer... he was a class person on,and off,the ice... he is the only player,in NHL history,to win a Olympic gold medal,World Championship,World Junior Championship,World Cup,Memorial Cup,and a Stanley Cup... what an array of championships!... He won four Stanley Cups(three,with New Jersey,and one,with Anaheim)...He even played against his own brother,when New Jersey played Anaheim,in 2003,in the Stanley Cup Final that year... New Jersey won that year,in seven games,with a 3-0 shutout... would have loved to be a fly on the wall,after that season... i respect players like him,because he was total class on the ice,and off the ice... a tough nut to crack,and gave 100% of himself,to the team that he played for... he was one of the best defensemen,in NHL history,even winning a Norris Trophy in his career... in my opinion,he will be in the Hockey Hall of Fame,in Toronto,as soon as he is up for election,in three years... if he is not,there is a major robbery,in the NHL...
