It still hasn’t fully set in yet, that Detroit Red Wings captain Zetterberg is finished. It’s a shame it has to end this way but we know all roads end at some point. The stand-out, future Hall of Fame center has been able to navigate his way through forks in the road up until this point. This time the roadblock was too much to overcome.
After the news broke it caught some attention around the league. Players like New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist who sent his good wishes to Hank and mentioned he will miss playing against him.
