Yzerman announces retirement
The unbreakable will and desire that made Steve Yzerman one of the greatest NHL players in history told him to play one more season.
The knee worn down after 22 years of hockey at its highest level told him it simply wasn't possible, at least not at the level he wanted.

Steve Yzerman retires
No one in NHL history wore the 'C' as long as Stevie Y.
Steve Yzerman was the captain of the Red Wings for 20 years, taking the helm as a 21-year-old in 1986, and led Detroit to three Stanley Cup titles. His No. 19 will be the sixth jersey to be retired to the rafters in Joe Louis Arena, and he's a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame when the three-year waiting period expires in 2009.

Stevie Y showed why success, stardom rarely co-exist
Before the Detroit Red Wings won their first of three Stanley Cups in six seasons back in the spring of 1997, captain Steve Yzerman was in Las Vegas during the offseason playing craps.
Two elderly gentlemen from Detroit's Canadian neighbor, Windsor, Ontario, sauntered by and noticed Yzerman.
"Let's go play somewhere else. There's no luck at this table," the one said to the other.
