Good for him! He has a full career, and now a well earned retirement.

Not to sound focked up, but he should have stayed in retirement the first time. I feel his health was always a big concern.

he came back quite strong i thought after the retirement. Sad to see him go but when the questions came up about his heart it became time to give it up

He did come back strong, but I still think he should have hung up the skates sooner because of his many health problems.

Kind of sad to see him go on these terms, the Penguins being one of the shittiest teams in the leauge, with exception to their great rookies.

Ai, Mario only came back the first time because he needed to save the team so he could get his $$$. Well, sucks to see him go but it's time.
