One for the Ages: Dave Keon's 1979-80 NHL Season
January 1st, 2020 By the time Dave Keon returned to the NHL for a curtain call with the Hartford Whalers, he was 39 years old. Even at 39, he was still only the third oldest player on the team behind fellow legends Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull.

Oldest Players With 100-Point Seasons
November 19th, 2019 It is difficult to score in the NHL. Not exactly breaking news. That's why only six players -- Connor McDavid, Nikita Kucherov, Brad Marchand, Patrick Kane, Leon Draisaitl, and Sidney Crosby -- reached the 100-point mark last season.
