Why are we even tempting fate with such a bold and clearly solid prediction? I love me some Ace but this is just wrong on so many levels. Mike Izzy is nothing short of being the Patton saint of the SHL and if he were to retire, especially with so much hockey left to play, I think the would beer nothing short of pandemonium. Not only would all of his acolytes (we call ourselves Izzyites) flock like lemmings to the retirement thread, but we would see the very fall of the SHL as the hockey gods clouded the league with doom and destruction and climate change melted all of the ice rinks.
