At 37 years of age, Andrei Markov just finished his 15th season in the National Hockey League. As the longest tenured Canadiens player, it should come as no surprise that Markov has quietly established himself as one of the best defenders in team history.
If it weren’t for 2 separate lockouts and a series of unfortunate leg injuries that cost him nearly 3 full seasons, Markov could very well rank among the greatest to have ever donned a Canadiens jersey. However, as a player in his late-30’s, father time has finally set in and Markov is trending on the downside of his great career.
