08:27 AM ET 04.10 | Daniel Alfredsson admitted Monday that, like every player, this playoff season may be his last. So as Ottawa prepares to face the Rangers, he can't wait for he challenge. Ottawa hasn't been in the post-season since 2010 and Alfredsson isn't sure this chance is going to come along again in his career. "I look at it as it could be my last playoffs," Alfredsson said Monday. "I'm going to treat it as such. Who knows even if I play next year if we're going to get back into the playoffs? You just want to make sure that you enjoy it and make the most of it." Alfredsson, who would be paid $1 million next season, said he won't make a decision until the end of the season on whether he'll be back in the fall.

I'll bet a lot of the older players think about retirement this time of the year. They've just played the season, they're beat up and tired and wondering how much more of it they can take.

If you can afford it, do it. Life is great on the other side.

Good advice BF. And, I have retired. Been that way for a few years now. Love it too!

Burke and Rotten Ronnie will help assisted by Randy Cunneyworth (who will translate it into French, not well). Scott Gomez will deliver pizza for lunch. Best marks will get to have lunch with Nick Lidstrom and Marty Brodeur where the subject will be "Are you sure you REALLY want to retire?"
