Brett Hull seems to have lost a step or ten.

The Hall of Fame winger took the ice Saturday with other St. Louis Blues of old to participate in an alumni game against former Chicago Blackhawks players.

While he enjoyed many aspects of the experience, his staking may need some work.

"Well, I mean, it's fun and you think you're doing okay. You're out and you're skating with the guys and you feel good, and then you get out there and it was just - every stride was agony," he told reporters after the game.

"So just the fun part is being in the locker room and chit chatting and having fun. And we get older, the body's changed, but the tongue gets razor sharp. And you have even better lines now than when you played. So it's a lot of fun."

Luckily for the 52-year-old, he was able to count on some considerable talent to hide any skating deficiencies.

The 2017 Winter Classic is scheduled for Jan. 2 in St. Louis.
