Commented Everyone is freaking out because this was the game that was the most must-win. A team directly in front of us with the same amount of games played on home ice. They needed this one for their playoff lives. Now it's substantially more uphill for them. on Panthers 4, Islanders 1: Slip, slip slide away on Lighthouse Hockey - 02/12/12 6:12 PM EST

Commented Lol. These guys are treating 30 like its 35. 30-33 are still productive years. If PA were 33 now, i'd be worried about a 4 year deal. on Islanders-Panthers [game thread] on Lighthouse Hockey - 02/12/12 5:44 PM EST

Commented Yes but PA is likely to age a little better considering he hasn't played intense NHL hockey from age 20 like most guys have. That means he's less likely to burn out at 33 and could last to 36 or 37. on Islanders-Panthers [game thread] on Lighthouse Hockey - 02/12/12 5:36 PM EST

Commented Plus, he's on the upswing. His first full NHL season was last year, when he had 20 goals and 53 points. Now he's nearly PPG this year. That would not be a mistake on Islanders-Panthers [game thread] on Lighthouse Hockey - 02/12/12 5:24 PM EST (2 replies)
