He's broken his last ankle

Al MacInnis has made his retirement official. Here's a delightful article by Eric Francis.

MacInnis broke into the league as a one-dimensional player. He had the big shot, and he used it on the power play. Looking at his physique, it's amazing he could put so much velocity on his shot.

Over time, he developed into one of the best all-around defensemen in the game, and is a sure bet for the Hall of Fame.
