Penguins Tomas Vokoun's career, which is currently on hold due to blood clots, may just be over. Vokoun explains “I was lucky I was sent to the hospital so quickly. I nearly died during the weekend. My foot was swollen, I had blood clots from mid-thigh almost to the heart. I was thinking about the end of my career. It would not be so difficult of a decision. Now I will do what the doctors say. Health is clearly the main thing. I hope I have more than half of life ahead of me.“ AHL veteran Jeff Zatkoff is taking his place as Marc-Andre Fleury‘s backup for the time being but the Penguins are one of several clubs that have shown interest in signing UFA Jose Theodore.
