Do feel a 'little' bad for Jason but if he can't pass a physical, he's not going to play anywhere. It also explains why there was no market for him before.

It might be over for him. 938 pts in 1244 GP, some tough moments and some great ones. Very good career overall.

Even when Marty comes back maybe Larry should put Clemmensen to be on the goal during the shootouts.
Can the coach do that ? Switch the goalies 5 seconds to go in overtime? - Most priceless quote ever posted on a message board.
Martin Brodeur: THE MOST ALL-TIME WINS!, 12 straight seasons of 30+ wins, 3 Stanley Cups, 4 Vezina Trophies, and zero respect from too many so-called Devils "fans" who are either too young or too bandwagon to remember the much darker days of Sean Burke, Craig Billington, Bob Sauve, Alain Chevrier, and the talented but overwhelmed Chico Resch, among many others.
It's easy to support a great player when he's playing at his very best. It takes a true fan to support that same player during those rare moments and stretches when he's not. Babe Ruth went 0-4 some games, and sometimes Wayne Gretzky was held pointless. There may be such a thing as greatness, but no such thing as absolute perfection every single night.

Wait, not passing a physical, is that different than a civilian physical, like is it a conditioning issue? A health issue? A drug thing?

I'm fairly certain that professional athlete physicals involve everything from medical records and current testing (x-rays, mri's, etc.) to specefic physical tests.Wait, not passing a physical, is that different than a civilian physical, like is it a conditioning issue? A health issue? A drug thing?

Sucks for Arnie. At least we don't have to see him in a Rags jersey now though.

Not to worry, the Rangers are set to sign Jason Bonsigniore to boost their forward depth.

However much it may have sucked to see him in a Rags uni, it sucks a lot worse for him to fail a physical. It'd be a shame if this is the way his career ends.

I feel bad for Arnott... last thing you want as a professional athlete is to be told you aren't fit to play; and therefore can't.
I also don't see Arnott as a Devils product. He won the cup with us, yes... but he also was with the Oilers, Dallas and Nashville for a fair amount of time.
His early years with Oilers were pretty strong and one of the few picks Sather got right. It could have been seen as throwing a bone to someone from the past.

Jason had some conditioning problems while he was playing for us (the first time around)
I think its time for him to sit back and watch hockey with some quality beer and pizza and chicken wings.

His career was just about to fall apart when he got here...he had been heavily criticized in Edmonton, and coming to the Devils didn't right him instantly. For both teams combined in '97-'98, he had a combined 10 goals and 23 assists, and the splits were about the same for both teams. That deal looked like it could be a disaster initially.
The Devils were the team that got him righted, and made him a better and more complete player. That carried on through the rest of his career. So even though yes, he did play for other teams, and put up some nice offensive numbers for them, I think of him as a Devil first and foremost.

I know he's not the most reliable according to some people...but...
#BREAKINGNEWS: #STLBlues &Arnott have reached 1yr deal in principle, pending physical. The veteran forward joined the team on the ice today.
Hope he gets his chance to play again!

This is the funniest thing I have read in a looooooong time! Thank you.When I was younger our family had a horse, Ed, he was fun to ride. He was already old when I was young so when I hit my early teens the family decided to stop riding him and let him enjoy the pasture to eat and run as he pleased. I wasn't mad that I couldn't ride him anymore I was happy he got the bounty of the pasture and sun before he passed away at 30 something years old.
That is kind of how I feel about old Devils players who go to the Rangers, they got a healthy paycheck before being put out to the pasture of life.
I feel bad about Arnie not passing his physical tho. Not because he doesn't get to play for the Rags but because this is a strong indicator as to why he has been slowing down so much over the past few years (I think one person said skating like molasses) and it likely indicates the end of the road. Whatever happens I wish him well.
