As many of you are now aware, long-time Ranger Dan Girardi announced his retirement from professional hockey on Friday. All in all, G, as he was affectionately known, suited up in 13 NHL campaigns, appearing in 927 regular season contests plus 143 more in the playoffs as a member of the Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning. We had something of a complicated relationship with Girardi over the years, but now that he has decided to hang up the skates, I’d like to reflect a bit on his career overall and his time with the Rangers.
