*raises hand* I expected that. I've been beating that drum for awhile: In modern sports, players get way better training before they make it to the top levels, so experience at the top levels means less and athleticism means more. Peaks are coming earlier, it's harder to guys to hang around for years in their 30s. Some guys can do it, sure, but by the percentages it's not going to happen as often as it did 30 years ago.
Guess how many skaters the last Stanley Cup champions iced who were 32 years old or older that season?
The answer is 1 - Braydon Coyburn. Every single other skater for the Lightning last year was under 32.
Modern pro sports are a young man's game. This idea that players come in and don't get going until they're 26 and then hang around until their 35 isn't true anymore, it's just something people who grew up watching sports in the 80s and 90s got used to and can't adjust.
