In sports, the adage of “father time remains undefeated” in one variation or another always holds true. While Andy Greene has been a stalwart of the New Jersey Devils blue-line since 2007-08 (while also appearing in 23 contests in 2006-07), father time is starting to do battle with Greene. Sadly, unlike some other NHLers of days past who were able to stave him off for a bit longer (Jaromir Jagr and Nicklas Lidstrom come to mind in terms of recent players), Andy doesn’t look like he will be able to.
The eye test of this season has not been particularly kind to Greene, as he has made a number highlight reel gaffes that have only been magnified by the amount of ice time he receives.
