For Ducks’ Scott Niedermayer, it’s a new age
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on October 2nd, 2009
Time has crept up politely on Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer, threading white through his hair without robbing him of the smooth, easy strides that make his skates seem natural extensions of his feet.
Niedermayer, who turned 36 in August, had the third-highest amount of ice time in the NHL last season at 2,207 minutes 49 seconds. His average of 26:55 per game ranked third, and he played more than anyone in the league while his team was short-handed, 377:35.
His poise and ability to read plays are undiminished, and his quiet confidence is so powerful that he is a prime candidate to be captain of the Canadian Olympic team at the Vancouver Games in February.
Though he may not show the years much, he feels them when he looks at his new defense partner, 19-year-old Luca Sbisa.
