Pens forward Ziggy Palffy suddenly retired today at the age of 33. He had played 42 games for the Penguins this season, scoring 11 goals and 31 assists for 42 points, along with 12 PIMs (Penalty infraction minutes) an a +5 plus/minus rating.
The team gave the reasons as "personal" but some wire reports out of slovakia said it was "shoulder" related.
It is a shame, for Palffy was by far the Pens best defensive forward, at +5, although he had been +9 just a few games ago. He was also the 2nd leading scorer behind rookie Sidney Crosby's 51 points.
