An Overdue Honor

Bleatings From a Caps Nut (Free subscription) | 09/03/2008

By now you already know that the Caps are retiring Mike Gartner's #11 . It is odd for a number of reasons, most of which is that Tim Bergland, Bob Carpenter, Jeff Nelson, Esa Tikkanen, and Jeff Halpern have all worn the number since Gartner last did in 1989.

Seems as if the Lightning is shooting for the later of the dates. “It’s a big injury,” said Brian Lawton, the Lightning’s vice president...
