So Hank got pulled after only saving 17 of 22 shots....looks like he is in playoff form
- TPC



Marty hit the wall when he was 38, didn't post a save percentage better than .908 after that. Still managed a cup final and put up good numbers in the playoffs.

Hank turns 35 this season and you have to figure he starts regressing within the next two years. I think he will slow down rather than hit a wall like Marty, he has played a lot less games at this stage of his career.

I thought South Park was great, I'm glad they just picked up where last season left of and brought back PC principal right away. Mr. Garrison with the spray tan to look Trump orange was great.

I didn't watch the show after because it looks stupid, but I guess I'll give it a shot.

I asked my buddy to change the channel, but he wanted to give it a chance. Wrong on so many levels. Probably be canceled soon due to racial material.

amazingly, just looking at the stats, the season Brodeur actually turned 35, 2006-07 is arguably the best of his career, Vezina winner and 3rd in Hart trophy voting

Many goalies still maintained a high level after 35, Hasek, Roy, Beezer. I'm nit worried about this season due to the extra rest from not playing many playoff game last yr. Let him rest on back to backs he should be fine.

He was great and then just immediately dropped off, like I said I don't think Hank hits the same kind of wall. As the honorable Mr. Kuntz mentioned, Haseks play slowly regressed, but he played well even at over 40 years old. Roy retired at 38, but was still going strong. I'd probably be most concerned with Hanks last two years of his contract, when he is 39/40 with a 8.5 cap hit.

Interesting second trio for #NYR: Kovacs and Stromwall, teammates in Sweden who played together at prospect camp, and Fogarty at center\

Definitely see a few more strong years for Hank. We should be contending for a while.

Hank will be the Lions Barry Sanders. Except not black, and not a football player.

Yeah but the risk of him getting injured after the Rangers window slams shut on him is going to increase.

Didn't Barry retire when he was still in the prime of his career at like 30?

Barry was the best at his position without ever winning a title.
