When Justin Williams returned to the Carolina Hurricanes at the start of 2017 free agency (related: how in the world has it been five years since Mr. Game 7 came back to Raleigh?!), I joked with him that more than any other member of the media, I might appreciate Williams’ signing. You see, Williams is exactly one month older than me, and as such I was no longer older than every member of the team.
At the time, Williams was 35-years old, and that was enough for me and him to break out the AARP jokes.
