To everyone who downvoted me every time I mentioned that Oshie’s wife needs to tell him to stop playing because his back is so bad he can’t play with his kids, here it is straight from the horse’s mouth.

Fuck man. Please retire babe 🙏
I’m no doctor, but I don’t see how any legitimate medical professional could make a guarantee like that. I’ll miss him, but he still has the rest of his life to live.
Oof. That’s rough. Glad he got his 1,000th game and a chance to celebrate him, but this would be a sad way to go out.
Man…. Just retire so you can still be an active dad with your kids. Life is deeper than hockey.
I love Oshie, I have loved watching him play for the Caps and I will always remember his shootout in Sochi and when he and his dad hoisted the cup. That said, I really want him to retire – he’s got 4 young kids who need him healthy. He’s done enough for us, I hope he rests.
peeing in bottles on the floor because you can’t move your back is not something a 36 year old man should be going through.
Jeez that’s brutal. Could see him going on to coach or something
That’s horrific. I know getting his thousandth game was important to him, but this makes it sound like someone should have stepped in and told him no, re-evaluate after this season. Quality of life after hockey could potentially be more important than career milestones. I am not a doctor and this is not based on medical training, but reading this gives me a very strong impression that he should not have been allowed to finish out the season.
One of my favorite caps but it’s time to retire
Dude, as much as we all would love to see him come back, he needs to be able to pick up his kids. There’s absolutely no shame in hanging em up when that’s on the line, especially after the career Oshie’s had. It’s a hard decision to make but it really looks like retirement might be the best option. Come back in a front office role or something if you don’t wanna step away completely, but he can’t keep risking serious injury especially when he’s raising a family
Time to step away and look after the health Osh. The back is never gonna get better trying to grind through an 82 game season. Thanks for everything
Dude was moving like a grandpa in the last game.
I really hope he comes back next season, just for one game, so he can get a real and proper send off and thank you from the fans. He helped carry us to the cup and he deserves to hang them up and be with him family, but a lone skate off at the end of a playoff sweep is such a shitty goodbye for someone who has given us so much. I hope he puts himself and his family first, and that Caps fans will love him endlessly
