he shouldn’t go to the hall first ballet, or at all. look at his numbers. his ppg is like .67. the HOF is for exceptional players, not an above average players who played for a long time. he has longevity, but no exceptional skill. he has no personal trophies, and even with playing the most games, he only has 1 cup appearance, and no ring to show
@@highwaymaintainer You seem to be confused. The NHL churns guys out of the league rapidly and unceremoniously the minute they are of no more use. The man earns every shift he plays.
To have played this long and for not one player, coach, or fan to have a bad word to say about you, that's just crazy. All the respect in the world to PM. My generation's embodiment of hockey.
It's only bad because of one 5 minute play in a series. True Sharks fans know that LA is the true rival. Vegas makes for some nice heated moments, but there is not a large enough sample size for true hatred. I suspect the Avs and Knights will become more of a thing in years to come.
@@SavitTheGoalie your right I did 👍 I am not taking away from the Greatness of Gordie Howe as he would have played a lot before the AHL and NHL but there was a lot more hockey available for Patrick.
big congrats to patrick! he's a legend and i'm so happy for him! i wasn't even born when he started playing in the league, it's amazing how long he's been great 💙
If ovi gets the most goals I hope it is in a full arena, and I think it would be cool if they roll out the red carpet like they did when gretzky got the record when he passed gordie
Thank you for getting us the dead puck era/enforcer era it has prolong players career thanks to the Emphasis on speed and skill which has increased longevity of the players
This record, with Gordie Howe playing the most games in NHL history, had stood for 41 years. I think this is a record that stands forever. (Gordie Howe still holds the record for games played with a single team.)
Sharks fan or not. Hard to not appreciate Marleau as a hockey fan, and for the ambassador he has been to the game for so many years. Congrats on such a great accomplishment!
People this dude has never missed less than 74 games a season other than the lockout and shortened season. He’s the definition of longevity and dedication. First ballot hall of famer 🤷🏽♂️💯👍🏽🔥👀
WOW!!! Congratulations Patty!!! 1 round ballot inductee in the HOF when you do decide to hang'm up!! You have had an illustrious and long career, most importantly though you did it with class!! You sir are a legend!!!
Congrats Patrick. What a guy on and off to the ice and I’d be honored if you were on my team. Still can’t believe the record you just broke. From a bruins fan
NHL 500+ GOAL-SCORERS NOT IN THE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME 1. 766 - Jaromir Jagr 2. 730 - Alex Ovechkin 3. 566 - Patrick Marleau 4. 538 - Keith Tkachuk 5. 522 - Pat Verbeek 6. 515 - Pierre Turgeon 7. 513 - Jeremy Roenick 8. 503 - Peter Bondra
One of the most iconic players to ever set foot on the rink. What a historic night for Patty, wish he was able to hoist the cup, no one deserves it more than him
Wow what a achievement to get too Congrats to Patrick Marleau good luck to anybody who tries to break that record but then again nobody thought Gordie Howe's record would fall and it did.
Thank you. The hate is unreal. Especially from a bunch of dolts who likely never saw Howe play a single game. I'm in my 50's and only saw a handful of games myself, with Hartford. His original retirement from the NHL was 1970.
@isthatyoubetha yes he did. I know a lot about MR HOCKEY, he’s my favorite player all time. And there was NO better. All around best pure hockey player, couldn’t stop him. If he didn’t spend so much time in the penalty box , he would of had 1000 goals !! Just saying
@isthatyoubetha to be honest, it's waaaay harder to score in the game than it was back in Howe' s day, I think the all time 'greats' wouldn't be eligible for today
Patrick Marleau needs to play 5 to 6 more seasons in the NHL to surpass Gordie Howe's combined NHL and WHA games played totals. GORDIE HOWE NHL GAMES PLAYED - 1767 GORDIE HOWE WHA GAMES PLAYED - 419 GORDIE HOWE NHL + WHA = 2186 GAMES PLAYED
@Jackson Graney exactly. Howe's numbers may be more impressive in my eyes (because he split his time in the wha and played in his 50s), but with Marleau, it's is just so amazing to have played for that many games and even more when all is said and done.
Still collecting a check?????? What are you most likely to witness? 1) Sasquatch sighting 2) baby pigeon hatching 3) Sea serpent rising from the depths 4) Marleau get a point in a game
Patrick Marleau should and will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, as should all the remaining retired 500+ goal-scorers (Keith Tkachuk, Pat Verbeek, Pierre Turgeon, Jeremy Roenick, Peter Bondra). Gordie Howe never scored 50 goals in one NHL season, and neither did Patrick Marleau, so Patrick Marleau was the perfect player to break Gordie Howe's games played record. Patrick Marleau surpassed Gordie Howe in games played in his 23rd NHL season. That's three less seasons than what Gordie Howe played in the NHL. That means Patrick Marleau deserved it. He did it quicker than Gordie Howe did. Although, when Gordie Howe played, the NHL season was 70 games, not 82 games. Gordie Howe and Chris Chelios hold the record for most seasons played in the NHL with 26. Patrick Marleau should go for 27. Patrick Marleau has 4 Gold Medals with Canada, and one Silver Medal. There are 5 former NHL players who played NHL games against both Gordie Howe and Patrick Marleau: Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Kevin Lowe, Mike Gartner, and Ray Bourque.
