“I don’t like Brett turning 50. To me, that’s sort of like a realization that your kids are growing up. I always saw Brett as a big kid. But I guess the truth of the matter is that it probably doesn’t matter that he’s turning 50. He’s probably the same big kid.”

-Brendan Shanahan on Brett Hull turning 50 on August 9th. More on Hull from Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
