From Mike Zeisberger in the Toronto Sun:
Curtis Joseph has put any potential retirement plans on hold.
Buoyed by his improved play of late, the veteran goaltender said he would like to continue strapping on the pads in the NHL next season.
“No question, I still want to play,” Joseph said after the Maple Leafs had completed their noontime practice at the BankAtlantic Center today.
“It’s easier to retire when you don’t feel good. That was the case earlier in the season. But I’m having fun now. I’m really enjoying the game.”

Ah, earth to Curtis, check your stats…
15 GP - 3 wins - 7 losses - 3.47 GAA - 0.867 SV%
Give it up, buddy. Just go home and revel in your career stats…
937 GP - 452 wins - 350 losses - 2.79 GAA - 0.906 SV%
It’s painful for everyone to watch a once-great player hanging around making a fool of himself.

Yes, it boggles me too that Cujo isn’t going to retire. He should have 1 or two seasons ago.
Does he really want to be like Ed Belfour and just not be able to let it go?…

And you know, I say this as a huge Cujo fan who grew up watching him in St. Louis… but Joseph should probably say goodbye. Still, if an NHL team still wants to give him a contract, more power to him.
