Mark Streit believes he is a youthful 35 years old. That is an age in which defensemen really start to see their game decline. However, being that he has only played seven seasons in the United States, as he spent the time before that in Switzerland, Streit thinks his body is fresher. "There is a big difference when you are 35 and have played 15 years [versus] playing eight," Streit said, including the one year he missed with the shoulder injury. "The wear and tear is big in the NHL. I feel great, feel healthy," Streit said. "I had one unfortunate season with Islanders when I was hurt the whole year, but other than that, I played almost all games every year. I'm in good shape. I want to play a long time. I can help this team." The Flyers hope he provides an offensive spark from their blueline.
