Andrew Cogliano set to play his 800th consecutive game.

[Sun God Nika]

Wowzers. Never missed a game since the start of his career, 30 years young and having a decent season so far.

Currently 4th longest streak in NHL history, longest active streak, and second longest streak from a start of a career.

No other word is needed other than "Impressive".

 

[Canucks1096]

If I remember correctly the record is 964 games I think. Too lazy to check. So another 2 seasons and a bit to break it.

 

[Huokaus]

I absolutely love these kind of stats, I'm rooting for him to beat Jarvis \o/

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Never thought Cogs would be on his way to break Karlis Skrastins (i think) record. Impressive.

 

[BlueBull]

I know that isnt a hall of fame talent, but could we at least recognize in the future of his incredible consistency? I would bid on him to make the hall if he plays 1000 games in a row, but thats just me and i have no idea what the halls pattern is or way of the hall to put people in.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Wow, that’s an impressive streak. Surprised it hasn’t gained more attention.

It’s very very hard to do this in such a physically intense league with such a condensed travel schedule. There are a million reasons to miss a game.

 

[BM14]

He doesn't look it on the ice but IRL he's pretty cut. Great guy. Happy for him.

 

[Teemu Salami]

Cogs gives so much hustle and effort, 800 games in a row is incredible.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I miss him more than Hall

I like your signature

That's actually a good point. I kind of root for it being more of a Hall of FAME instead of Hall of Whatever Arbitrarily Is Good Enough. Surely at this point of Cog's career and at this HOF climate it''s quite preposterous to think of Cogliano as a HOF player, but what if he plays 1000 consecutive games? 1200? That's got to count for something. I definitely would be more interested in seeing players with achievements like that included instead of these "compiled a good amount of points but never was anything special" type of players.

The guy is always the hardest worker on the ice, doesnt tke a shift off

 

[Pens x]

Wow, that's extremely impressive. Good for him.

 

[jetsforever]

Probably my favourite ongoing stat
Hopefully he keeps the streak going

Set by Doug Jarvis, who never missed a game in his career

It’s very impressive. I’m mesmerized by the whalers logo. There’s a w and an h.

 

[authentic]

I'm surprised no one has managed to take him out yet. That is honestly amazing.

 

[syz]

He did leave a game pretty early once after (I think) getting a stick in the mouth that knocked some teeth out.

 

[Freudian]

If only he had some disease and he could win the Masterton Trophy.

 

[Beville]

When you consider how tough this league is, well, that’s amazing.

 

[The Noot]

You mean this?
He returned to that game, didn't miss a shift.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Crazy, especially considering Cogs style and how hard he plays.

 

[ZJuice]

I still cringe every time Cogs takes a big hit. But then he pops right up and keeps playing.
