The end for Taylor?
When the Lightning open their training camp this week, they will be missing one battle-scarred, battle-proved player — their captain. Known for his checking skills, his leadership, his big heart and his tenacity, Taylor will be resting from a surgical procedure that may have ended his hockey career.
Not that he had much choice in the matter.
Terrific piece. I knew Taylor was having surgery, but not that it was this radical.
It seems very unlikely he'll be returning to Tampa this season.

maby they will give Vinny another shot at the C, although Gratton had it too
Two words: Bo Jackson.
This is it for the Toolman. It's too bad.
I hate reading these stories, him and Numminen.
All the "old guard" type players I grew up watching are dropping, one by one.
At least Roenick made it back...at least for now.
But those guys I used to watch when I was a kid...there's almost nobody left. Chelios. Hasek. Sakic. Belfour, nope, gone...who else? Sundin is close to that generation. Gary Roberts, I guess. Maybe a few more.
But it's a kid's game now.
