Norstrom retiring?
Thanks to our assistant managing editor (and blog contributor!), George Foulsham, for passing this along. Mattias Norstrom has told the Dallas Morning News that he's going to take some time to think about whether to retire or return to the NHL next season, and that if he does return, the Dallas Stars would be his first choice.
Family comes first for Norstrom
On a related note, George will leaving us in a couple weeks, for an exciting new position. It's a big loss for the paper and for me personally, as George has become a great friend and supporter of the blog. He's also an ardent Kings follower, so I've asked him to write something for the blog before he departs. Good luck, George!

So much for him returning back to L.A.
So what if he doesn't come back to L.A.
He'll always be King in my book.
godspeed Matty! Good luck in the next phase...
I missed him when he left and was hoping he would come back. Just because Dallas is his first choice it doesn't mean they will make him an offer.
Please come help our young guys MATTY! WE NEED YOU.
I don't watch too many Stars games but there were a couple of reports here that Matty had lost a step and that the Stars were not going to bring him back. They said he just couldn't keep up with the speed of the game. Good luck to you Matty but I think we should go with youth even if those reports are false.
I loved Matty as well from his character/values to his playing style but I personally thought he was never the same player after rupturing Forsberg's spleen during the playoffs years ago. That's my personal opinion but any way, best of luck Matty.
