Barnaby Considering Retirement

Bucky Gleason has some bad news for Matt Barnaby fans:

The end finally appears near for Barnaby. The Dallas winger has had concussion problems since Jan. 9 that caused him to temporarily lose vision in his left eye, a scare serious enough for him to ponder retirement.

Barnaby‘s gone from hated to “man, I want that guy on my team” after 14 seasons in the NHL.

He’s a team guy, leaves it all on the ice.  Heart wins over fans, and for a guy that plays the role of agitator so much, Baranaby has a ton of them.

Gleason writes that after three of his fights this season Barnaby temporarily lost his vision.

While I want to see Barnaby continue playing, health and family have to come first.  Concussions are nothing to rush back from.

Feel better MB and take as much time as you need.
