Matt Cullen might be hanging up his skates following the Pittsburgh Penguins' second straight Stanley Cup championship, but if that was his final act, he'll clearly have no regrets.
The 40-year-old forward played nearly 20 minutes in the Penguins' Cup-clinching victory in Game 6 on Sunday night - 19:42 to be exact - the most ice time he logged in a game all season.
Cullen was on the ice for Patric Hornqvist's winner, played 4:42 shorthanded, and won 10 of his 18 faceoffs. He played over 19 minutes for just the fifth time in two seasons with the Penguins, according to Bill West of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The veteran of 19 NHL campaigns previously said he was leaning toward retirement following this playoff run, and he reiterated that in the immediate aftermath of Sunday's win.
"Pretty good chance this is my last one," Cullen told Michael Russo of the Star Tribune. "I can't imagine a better way to go out than this. It's pretty likely."
Neither can we, Matt. Neither can we.
