Weight undergoes season ending surgery

TEH DUG WAITZ MIYT NOT PLAY TEH HOCKIES ANY MOR!!!!1!1!1!!!1!!!

Dude played 25 games on a completely torn rotator cuff. Nuts.

from NHL.com
nhl.com wrote:There is a strong possibility that New York Islanders captain Doug Weight played his last NHL game on Thursday night.

But if the 39-year-old gets his way, that won't be the case as he prepares to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery on Thursday. Weight, who has appeared in 1,220 NHL games since entering the League with the New York Rangers in 1991, went 1-16-17 in 36 contests this season.

"It's a pretty intrusive surgery," Weight said on Saturday morning at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where his team will host the New Jersey Devils at 7 p.m. ET. "I'm going to approach it with aspirations of still playing hockey. I think I still have the fire in my stomach when I hit the ice. My legs still feel very strong. The rest will be written in the summer. We'll see what happens. I don't know if it's going to be with the Islanders or not. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

"If it was my last game, I have no regrets. I had an unbelievable career as far as enjoying myself and meeting people and playing the greatest game in the world."

DUG WAITZ doesn't tear muscles, he sheds them in favor of new, stronger ones.

Thankfully this should, in no way, impact his ability to skate backwards.

Doug was a skilled player, true competitor and tough as nails! IF he's not able to come back next year - he will truly be missed!
