JR is done. I would like to say I'm sad to see him go. But it is time. Actually, past his time. Like Hull, he played too long. At least Hull packed it in, rather than be a healthy scratch for the Coyotes, like JR was last year. I'm sure he will be a commentator soon, as his tryout during the playoffs this year seemed to go pretty well. A great personality, he can be as outspoken as Hull, but maybe not as brash.
I will miss his game. A mid-sized guy that could score and bang. Tough as they come, playing in the Playoffs with his jaw broken or teeth missing. Not afraid to go after the open ice hit. JR was the classic hockey warrior. I doubt anyone will be the complete package of skill, toughness and wit.
