would later tell Primeau that "During the 04 playoffs, when you and the Flyers took the Lightning to seven games, you were the most dominating player I ever saw. More than Orr
, Howe
, Gretzky
, or anyone."
Nine games into the 2005–06 season, Primeau suffered a concussion which ended his season. As a result of ongoing post-concussion syndrome
, he officially announced his retirement on September 14, 2006. On February 12, 2007, Primeau was honoured before a game against the Detroit Red Wings, the team which originally drafted him. An emotional Primeau thanked the fans for welcoming him after being traded to Philadelphia.
