This is the year!

Sindey is concussed and will miss the opener against the Caps...

[GburgNatsFan]

You have to wonder how many more of these he can take. And why hockey players don't wear helmets with three inches of shock absorbing foam all around.

What is he?    42?    43?

[Natsinpwc]

What is he?    42?    43?

He will be 45 in February.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

It seems the Jagr mullet has returned this year as well! 

[mitlen]

He will be 45 in February.

Whoa  ....

Ovie has a nose for that kind of goal 

[Natsinpwc]

MoJo puts it away.

Hockey players are really tough.

I was at a Caps/Habs game where Ovie had 4 goals and an assist after breaking his nose (though maybe he'd already scored a couple when the shnoz took a hit).  They were still wearing the old kit, so it must have been during his first couple of seasons.

Apparently it's not missing but just chewed up a little; lucky Mike Tyson was not there.

Bruce Gamble played goal and won a game in which he suffered a heart attack.  And later died of a heart attack after playing a pick up game in his forties.  So tough but not always smart.

Better to die in the saddle I suppose.  And meanwhile, 45 year old #68 plows ahead with 750 NHL goals (despite a few KHL seasons).

He will probably live until 90.

Gordie Howe played until his fifties I believe but not as effectively as Jagr.

Jagr's rookie season:

Holtby feeling rather generous tonight...

That was the worst enemy crowd invasion in a very long time.
