From Dan Rosen at NHL.com,
The decision, though, is up to Roberts. He said he would have to take the summer to reassess his situation and his drive only because of the arduous season he has just gone through.
Roberts, as we mentioned before, is the king of fitness, but he has battled a respiratory infection, a broken leg, a high ankle sprain, a groin strain and a mild case of pneumonia this year.
“Well, I mean obviously I’d be lying to you if I didn’t think about (retirement),” Roberts said. “For sure it’s a thought of mine, but it’s nice to have my legs finally. It’s been since Christmas. I’m excited about the way I feel.”
The way he played in the Stanley Cup Final, too.

After brave Sir Gary’s bertuzzi on Franzen, I’m not exactly prepared to sympathize with his ailments. Here’s wishing him a summer of slips at the pool, stray golfballs dimpling his head, and a particularly virulent case of poison ivy.
Then he can retire to become a stay-at-home dad, where he can cheap-shot the wife and kids when the hamburgers are overdone or milk get’s spilled.
Having Roberts lose his last game ever would be a fitting conclusion for his career considering his classy on-ice behavior.
