It's getting to the point where a hockey player is labelled "old" as soon as they cross into their 30's. Andrei Markov is much closer to his 40's, and still puts up impressive stats, especially given how much he is relied upon in Montreal. This year was only Markov's third complete season, and that includes the lockout year. Despite his horrific injury luck from 2010 to 2012, the rearguard has continued to be the stoic, defensively responsible, puck-moving defenceman Habs fans have grown to love.
This past season, Markov recorded 5-39-44 on his stat line, which isn't anything to sneeze at.
