Talk:Tom Fitzgerald (ice hockey)

Fitzgerald's 17th season?

edit

The summary for Tom Fitzgerald indicates that he played 16 professional seasons, when in actuality, he played 17. It was announced as 17 in the press conference for his retirement, and anyone who wishes to count one of his player cards can quite clearly see it's true.

For reference, I'm including links to ESPN - the first for his retirement announcement (where they usually don't get such things wrong), and the second to his player stats.
