Not surprised anymore, just continually amazed. The leading goal scorer (although Barkov may have something to say about this in the next few games) and the leading points scorer for the Panthers. More points than all the other players in your team combined. The oldest player in the NHL who just seems timeless and quite possibly, if he decides to stay on, could still be there when he hits 50. He is still one of the best players on the boards down low with the puck, his support play is superb and he still goes to those dirty areas where goals are scored and 260lb opposition defence players are trying to keep you out.

Man, wait to you get to his age and see what happens to your motor, how each shift seems twice as long but you were only out there for half the time and your lungs and legs are burning, how it seems every player on the rink blows past you at twice your speed then watch as he just keeps changing his game to stay relevant and to continue to contribute at the very highest level of play IN TODAYS GAME. 

Said in the nicest possible way with the utmost respect, the guy is a freak. Watch and appreciate because it could be a long long time, if ever, that we see the likes of player like him again.

Just think where he would be if he didn't leave the NHL for a few years. You can have all the passion in the world but you can't do anything about time. It is amazing that at this point in his career he still has the passion and love for the game to train harder than pretty much everyone else in the league. He is not as fast or agile now as he was 5, 10, 15 years ago but his ability has always been so high he can still play at the highest level.

 

Amazing doesn't even come close to describing him.

Do you think he's kicking himself for leaving the NHL when he did?  He'd probably have passed everyone by now. (In every category)   :D

I don't even think he cares, he just loves the game and loves to play.

Not unless he was going to put up some 1,000 points in those 3 seasons he skipped.

ok, i guess there really is no catching The Great One in over all points,  but he only 146 goals away from the top :'D

Doubtful he would have posted three 45-50 goal seasons in a row during those missed seasons.

 

I live to crush dreams.
