Edmonton Oilers Fans Are Feeling Old as an Oilers Birthday Arrives

Last night, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins hit a major career milestone, playing his 800th NHL game. Despite being in the prime of his career, this achievement is a testament to his longevity in the league. However, what's even more shocking is the fact that Nugent-Hopkins was drafted 1st overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and has already turned 30 years old as of April 12th. Edmonton Oilers' play-by-play announcer, Jack Michaels, couldn't help but express his existential terror on Twitter. Michaels has been with the team since 2010 and became lead announcer for Sportsnet in 2021.
