    I’m still not used to Crosby being 36, Malkin 37, and Ovechkin 38. McDavid being 27 is nuts to me too. Time flies!

      I never think age, I always think year of birth and I've been aware of those guys year of birth since they were drafted. I need to get used to people calling them old, often right in front of me and I'm 3 months older than Ovi.

This is a bit of a hot take, but I think he's the best all around D since Lidstrom. Better than the likes of Hedman, Keith, Letang, Chara, Doughty, Weber, Karlsson, etc. His absurd skating ability and offensive creativity while also being an elite defender is what does it for me.

    A common misconception too about the games Leo missed early on wasn’t about “load management” but rather it allowed for him to get some extra time in the weight room whenever he was be on the ice and bulking up to become a horse in the second half as Verbeek said. Not like he was only sitting around during his off days. I think it was smart considering how much hockey he played in his draft year, he’s still not even close to growing into his body which is scary considering how solid is frame already is.

      Ovi is definetely best 38 years old 2nd most goals by that age and doing 30+ goals at that age is very impressive and even crazier is he had very bad start 8 goals in first 43 games and 23 goals in last 36 games pace for 50. It's pretry clear he was hurt and at that age you expect good start and slower second half... Well he did run out of gas in playoffs playing 80 games at his age was bit too much especially when he had to carry caps there.

    I wonder when Gretzky hit his prime in age AND ability. Were they the same time or different times?
    Can't fairly call any active players on anything but AGE as their prime really.
    Think that could be a decent idea for a video?
