16 seasons later.
The peterborough Examiner broke the news. Ricci had neck surgery last year and only played 7 games with Phoenix.
I'd say 16 seasons is a good career.

He came in with Sundin, Jagr, Owen Nolan, and that fab group from 1990-91...hate to see him go...means the whole group is getting old.

See, that is where character comes in...no Cup and yet he has the best smile (according to you -it does nothing for me) in the NHL...

No, no, I am the other guy...the one with the bat logo...No man of steel am I. I guess, maybe, if I were a girl, he could possibly...possibly mind you...seem sort of cute.

right, sorry, black, wings, gotham.
and thanks for looking through a chick's eyes, briefly.

My grandfather had season's tickets to the Petes where Ricci was captain.

He would wait for Ricci outside the dressing room to try to hook him up with my sister. Ricci being both Italian and a hockey player was an ideal choice in his mind (the only way he could get better would be if he were drafted to the habs).

What my grandfather failed to grasp was that my sister thought Ricci was an arrogant jerk with a face like a chewed boot. She had classes with his girlfriend and was mortified that my grandfather was doing this.

I used to think he looked like a weasel, but over these past few years, he's sort of grown into his face. Losing the mullet was a good idea.

He had that mullet big-time in high school. But then again, so did I .
