One thing I always find jarring is when a new draft pick starts talking about his favourite players from his childhood and he starts mentioning guys who I still think of as being just new to the league.
For example, in the video with Parsons on the Flames' site, he mentions watching Quick growing up. My first thought was that Quick has only been around a couple of years. Then I realized that Quick has been the Kings' starter for 8 seasons (and first won the Cup 5 seasons ago), and Parsons is only 18, so he's been watching Quick for almost half his life.
