"Of course," he said. "There's no doubt in my mind that I am and that I can be. I definitely want to show that I can play the game and play the game the right way." ' The right way would be to accept the facts of aging and try one's best to accept any role one could still play, be it PK, fourth line or third line, or whatever.

Tomdog Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 That's the tough part of athletics. Competitive players always feel they're the guy. That's what makes them"the guy". Then when time passes them by, it's hard to except. Ask any older guy how hard it was to except getting old. The difference is that day comes earlier for athletes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
