That was no accident Friday. Hank Zetterberg said goodbye to an amazing hockey career exactly where he wanted to do it:
Where it began.
“Having a little media scrum in the corner, in a practice rink, in Traverse City, during training camp,” he admitted Saturday via telephone, in typical understated humility, “that was a perfect ending for me.”
Off sails the captain, off sails the ship. Zetterberg’s retirement is more than just the end of a star career under a particular Red Wing banner.
