Fiala had 2 goals and Tanner Jeannot scored to send it to overtime in a 8-7! Kings loss.

Suter was always a great skater and a smart player so I'm not shocked he has had a long career, but, it is pretty crazy he is still in the league at this point.....2003 draft pick.

When I first got really into hockey after the 2005 lockout I seem to remember most guys being considered toast by 35. This new generation of athletes, in different sports, are pushing the boundaries for how long a person can remain a professional athlete.

Jagr still outdoes them all though.

Expansion has alot to do with some of these guys still having jobs. More teams, more spots to fill. I think too lots of these guys are getting spots based on their past names more so than current performance. I mean Dallas fans talked nothing but about how bad Suter was.

Jagr is a beast and it’s amazing what he’s still doing in Europe at his age, but Gordie still takes the prize for longevity in hockey I think.

Egor is not exactly setting the KHL on fire... pretty much buried in that CSKA lineup...

Askarov with back to back shut outs, because of course.

Atleast Edstrom is looking decent and we still have a future 1st

It's funny in how things currently look we will be getting a couple of lower 1sts from Vegas and Tampa, and our own pick will be right at the top

If we maintain this pace, the Abrams will look more like a U-boat. 0-82 would be some real shock and awe campaign.
