They have become over-the-hill right before our eyes.
An uncertain moment. A step slow. A terrible mistake. Yet another goal against the Edmonton Oilers.
That's the story of Shawn Horcoff, Ethan Moreau and Fernando Pisani's 2009-10 season. All three of them have suffered numerous injuries in recent years, and while not one of them is ancient by NHL standards, they have failed to get the job Read More »
