Probert was not barred from traveling to Canada. He is a Canadian Citizen after all. The problem was that if he left the US there was the possibility that he might not be allowed back in because of the arrest. One minor correction. Probert was not barred from traveling to Canada.

How about Packers fans who will root for Favre if he plays for the Vikings. With the younger generations it become less about rooting for a team as much as a player. They will root for the name or the face long before the jersey. I think they should have had Neal Broten drop the puck! What a great Blackhawks killer! Go North Stars!

Not just because of the injury but because rehabbing near-senior citizens takes time! Still, if he wants to keep playing, I say let him. At least he's committed and puts in the effort each and every year and never makes the media institute 'tractor watch' for him in Mississippi. Plus, hockey is just a different sport altogether and players can get away with being 47. Dude…one major injury and the guy’s in a wheelchair.
