haha
wtf is wrong with u people....

fyi..i was cheering for scotty and teemu during the entire playoffs so dont think im being bitter
to play a game?....he got 7 million to play a game...im pretty sure id cut my left nut off for 7 mil....

why cant people be a LITTLE bit critical for once.....brian mcabe makes one mistake...hes the worst defencman in the game.......scotty can kill a baby and still be called classy

all im saying is that the guy is in his prime....he can do so much more for the game....wats anuther 2 years on his contract huh...like really....wat will he be? 34? 35?......wow......"hes so old".......f*ck that.....

Why is everybody assuming Niedermayer will retire? It's Selanne who will retire.

Yeah how selfish of him. To work his ass off and put his life on hold to play a game. How selfish of him to help the ducks win the cup. The Ducks owe him a lot, he's earned the right to take time in the decision and earned the right to make the decision.

Don't be mad because the senators have shit for D.

give me a break, the guy is going out on top. Not many guys can say that, and he leaves the game with good health and looking forward to a new life with his family. But it sucks for the ducks and us the NHL fans in losing arguably the best defense men of the past decade

i think he can do what he wants. I dont think opting out of ur contract to reitre, and do things he wants to do in life in "not classy". hes an extreamly smart man, and wants to go back to school, which he never got the shot to. There is a lot more to life, than he has left to achieve in his career, because he has done it all. This is jusy my opinion,

this isnt a classy move tho….period……maybe if this guy was 40….or at least 37 this would be acceptable……..but the guy is like 32….in his prime….hes been nuthing but calss ever since he got in to the nhl….but THIS…isnt a classy move…and its rather selfish if u ask meid also like to piint out that popularity of hockey in cali isnt too good…..so having one of its best players leave…..its gonna hurt it even more so

he said he wanted to win a cup in anhiem, with his bro to Burke. Burke said fine, im ok with that.

If Burke we given the ulimatum of either signign Scott for 3 years and n ot win a cup, or for 4 years, win a cup in 2, and then he calls it quits, what do u think he would have chosen.

He is nothin but a winner, class act, and one of the greatest hockey players to ever play! he can do what he wants!

wow........so why hasnt scotty just called his retirement already then........

if he DOES stay....the ducks are gonna be pressed right against the cap unless they shed a CRAP load of salary.......with getslaf and perry looking for raises next season this move dont make too much sense

can i be the fist one to say....shame on scotty to just leave the club in its greatness......at LEAST playout ur contract....not a classy move by ANY means
