Hockey at the NHL level is a sport for the young, right?
Well ... not always.
The number of younger players seems to rise every year, but that doesn't mean there's no place for players whose playoff beards include a few (or more than a few) gray hairs. No club would want a roster full of graybeards, but there's a sizeable contingent of over-35 players who are more than capable of keeping up with the kids. Even with the departures of older stars such as Scott Niedermayer, the NHL's over-35 club is alive and well.
Using the NHL's postseason All-Star team format, here's a look at the best of today's oldies but goodies.
