Story (in french)

Basically, he injured himself again.

I guess we won't be seeing a two-blocker goalie in the NHL...

This was kind of expected..especially since there was the matter of a pretty significant insurance payout due to him if he did retire (same thing happened with Stefan Cherneski a few years ago)...

It's a shame...he wasn't that bad of a netminder when healthy.

According to a translation site this is what it said...

The custodian of the New York Rows Daniel Blackburn announced his retirement, Sunday, after to have attempted a return following a serious injury affecting a nerve of the left shoulder. Blackburn, a native one of 22 years old Montréal, injured itself to the shoulder before the entra*nement camp of the Rows in 2003, and it did not play in 2003-04.

Blackburn underwent an operation in 2004 then carried out a return with the Salmon Kings of Victoria in the League of the coast is during the work conflict of the national League.

It was invited to the camp of the Rows but it injured himself again, to the left knee this time, September 15.

Blackburn showed a to card of 20-32-4 and an average of allocated goals of 3,22 in 63 matches in career with the Rows.

I cracked up when it came up as the custodian.
