KrazyGangsta 79 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 That's cool. I kind of wish players could do that in the NHL. It's really hard to do that in the NHL considering it's really tough hitting league. You've got so many young players injured ... imagine if the 50 years old are playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmamolo 287 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 GOtta give the guy credit. If he can play competitively at 51 that is impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltgator333 3 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 What I gathered from the article they just needed an injury fill in, idk if he's going to be playing even the rest of the season. Good for him tho, kind of a testament to what caliber of athlete he was to begin with if he can do this at 51. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papa Bear rules over all of everything Russian. He may even own the country and if he doesn't there aren't too many that would question him on it. The hip check returns!!

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=509358&...%20in%20English When the club needed another defender after Denis Kulyash was injured, coach Sergei Nemchinov turned to the front office for help. Rather than finding a short-term replacement, though, one of the best defencemen Russia ever produced agreed to fill in. "We urgently need one more defender," Nemchinov said. "Fetisov practises constantly and has agreed to help the team. We just need to settle some legal procedures." And you thought Chelly was past it. I always thought Fetisov was a highly underrated member of the 97-98 teams. Edited December 10, 2009 by mjlegend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont even joke about it. Cant stand those guys that go and retire four or five times. Though it would be awesome if he came and played a game or something. Probably too busy with the Team Canada s*** though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Third Man In 2,091 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 Hey, Howe was able to do in. Why not Fetisov? Good for him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjlegend 155 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 Sorry I didn't notice the other thread. Krutov excepted, the Cold War Russians were all in exceptional shape from the moment they came over - Fetisov and Larionov being among the cream of that crop. If there is a 51-year-old who can step into the lineup in a pinch, it's Fetisov. The KHL has a much shorter season so he probably won't get burned out as fast as he would in the NHL.
