08:21 AM ET 03.30 | On the surface, Colorado's two games next week set up as meaningless. But those games could mean a tremendous amount to three-time NHL all-star Milan Hejduk, who is considering retirement. Hejduk, the Avs' 36-year-old captain and only remaining member of the 2001 Stanley Cup-winning team, was demoted to the fourth line in Wednesday's 1-0 loss at Vancouver and admitted afterward that his splendid career might end April 7 in the season finale against the Predators. "It could be. I don't want to analyze right now, but it definitely could be," Hejduk said. Entering [Friday's] third-to-last game against the Flames in Calgary, Hejduk hasn't scored a goal in his past 22 games and has only two in 2012.

With those numbers he'll probably be 'forced' into retirement.

Had a good career bud. Hang em up.

I second that...probably stayed a season too long as it is.
T&R of course, is hoping no announcement is forthcoming, so the interns have something to do all summer

Hejduk hasn't scored a goal in his past 22 games and has only two in 2012.

Or as the Leafs call it....a good spring.

He's got a ring and had a good career. Call it a day.

Now I'm going to daydream about how nice it would be to retire at 36.

I think the odds are 146,000,000 to 1 so I'm not sure about that Spiny.
