As Stephen Colbert Would Say, “Noooooooooooooooo!”
Domi on verge of retiring Bought out by Maple Leafs, aging enforcer gets no offers TORONTO - Tie Domi’s dream of retiring as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs vanished when he was bought out of his contract this summer.
This comes from the stupid Ottawa Citizen, which I can’t read for free online, nor am I a subscriber because, well, I live in the US. I could buy the Wednesday issue for a dollar, which seems reasonable, but you have to put a minimum of $5 into your account. I’m not paying for a story that will depress me, especially because if it’s true, it’ll be in every other Canadian paper the day after. But anyway, if anyone has free access to the paper, please send me the article. Do NOT pay for it. I’m off to go search message boards for it.
Update:
In an effort to prove he is more than an unskilled brawler, Domi set about to reinvent his game this summer. He began working out with a personal trainer five times a week, started eating healthy and cut back on his business commitments. Morris said his client was starting to reap the benefits of his new training regimen when Domi hit a “speed bump”—reinjuring his shoulder and hip. “With that stuff, you don’t get up in the mornings without hurting,” said Morris. “Where he’s successful is being a physical player, so he’s just weighing those considerations as to whether he’s able to play or not.”

I know, Mikey, I know. It’s terrible. I only got to love him (in a non-carnal way) for two seasons.
