Players met with the media for their end-of-season interviews, and the veteran Joe Pavelski made a big announcement. What everyone feared would happen finally happened: he shared his retirement plans.
Pavelski was drafted 205th overall by the San Jose Sharks in 2003. Since then, he scored 1068 in 1332 regular season games for the Sharks and the Stars. In the playoffs, he tallied 143 points in 201 games, but never won a Stanley Cup.
After losing the sixth game against the Edmonton Oilers, many of Pavelski's teammates were asked to comment on Pavelski's retirement rumors, and a few got emotional talking about it. It proves how a great player, teammate and person he is and how big of an impact he had on the young players in Dallas.
