Earlier today the St. Louis Blues signed ex-Devils Jamie Langenbrunner and Jason Arnott to one year contracts, which is great and cool and stuff...
Personally, I feel awkward about this deal. Langenbrunner is 35 and Arnott is 36, and I have nothing against older players, but I dont understand why the Blues feel they need both. I don't think this is a deal that will make or break the Blues (unless injuries happen) but I think there were better players available to be signed.
I dont know a lot about hockey, but in a game that is very physical like this one, isnt 35-36 years way past their prime?
ReplyDeleteYeah it is. Some people can handle the pressure though. Followed+
ReplyDeleteKids compared to the Blackhawks recent signings!
ReplyDeleteSPOOOOOOOORTS!!!!
ReplyDeleteFollowed because of hockey, the only sport as manly as rugby.
it'll probably be their time to hang up the gloves soon, so i guess they're just trying to make the most of what they love doing.
ReplyDeletemaybe they know something we don't?
ReplyDeleteThey're still solid players
ReplyDeleteHockey, eh?
ReplyDeleteI can't say I've ever gotten into hockey. Not a lot of chances to play as a kid growing up in SoCal.
Very good players still!

ReplyDeletenice !!! return man, nice post ;)
ReplyDeleteAwkward indeed....
ReplyDeleteGotta love the fights though! Old people fights!
ReplyDeleteDon't know much about hockey but it's not unusual for sports teams to bring in older more experienced players to school the younger less mature players, perhaps that's what they're aiming at.
