With the news that James dean is going to star in a new movie its only a matter of time before the league starts adding cgi players to the ice. Oilers fans don't like having some no name plug in their top 6? What if he looked like prime messier?

Oh boy, you are going to get youngins saying Kassian has more skill then Messier now because of goal tending.

Jack Johnson already plays like a hologram.

Only 3? Wow. Time flies.

Only 3? Wow. Time flies.

1979 was 40 years ago. How many 40 year olds do you expect to be playing in any given season?

Not an nhler. I only specifically used players who played at least one game.

But wow, impressive he's still playing at 49.

 

[Montreal Shadow]

Christ I’m not even old but it makes me feel so strange because for the longest time in my head, players born in the 70’s were in their early 30’s but now even the youngest are pushing 40. I remember Chara as a Senator and some kids playing are over a decade younger than I am.

André ''Moose'' Dupont still plays hockey with my dad in a 60+ league , does it count?

Fun fact, he also played with Serge Boisvert and Michel Laurendeau when he was playing in the 50+ league.

 

[boyko10]

Bednar still playing, huh? That's cool. Loved him when he played for my team in Liiga what feels like a lifetime ago. Hell of a scorer. Didn't do much in the NHL tho.
