Former Pred Patric Hornqvist announces retirement
Patric Hornqvist is hanging up his skates. The 36-year-old winger who won back to back Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017 confirmed on Wednesday he's retiring after 15 NHL seasons to Swedish publication Sportbladet.
I'm glad he was a Panther for a while. I'm still pissed about the high hit he took in his last game.
Did you know he was picked dead last in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators, the same draft where Sidney Crosby went first overall?
He then went on to score the cup winning goal with that very same Sidney Crosby against who else? His former team the Nashville Predators.
I did not know this.
Great career and hard working guy!
As a Capitals fan I'm glad to see the back of him.... because he was an absolute nightmare to have to play against and he killed us so many times.
