Pretty cool milestone, scored a goal too. 1000 Games, 401 goals, 400 assists, 801 points, and a +100 for the career.
Its a miracle he has played that many games.
i feel really bad now. there are websites out there that track your most frequent linemates in a given year? like watching KG on the Wolves. sadface. What could have been.

I feel like peak Gabby is going to go down as a really underrated star...shame he missed so many games with injuries over the years.
- 1st ever pick of the Minnesota Wild, debuted with 18 goals and 36 points on a crappy expansion team as an 18 year-old.
- His 2nd and 3rd seasons in the league he scored 30 goals each.
- In 05-06 he had 38 goals in 65 games (48 goal pace).
- In 06-07, he had 30 goals and 57 points in 48 games (51 goal, 97 point pace).
- In 07-08, he was relatively healthy and scored 42 goals and 83 points in 77 games.
- In 08-09 he only played 17 games but had 23 points.
- In 09-10 he had 42 goals and 86 points in 76 games.
- After a relatively off year in 10-11, he came back and had 41 goals and 76 points in 11-12.
All told, in his 5 peak seasons from 2005 to 2010, he had 165 goals and 315 points in 283 games which if averaged to a full 82 game season is an average of 48 goals and 91 points. His head coach in all but the last of those seasons was defensive mastermind and trap-happy Jacques Lemaire and the best team offense from any of those years was 17th out of 30th in the league in goals, including the 09-10 season with New York.
He was a true star regardless but really, in different circumstances and with better luck - he could have been a HoF calibur winger with ridiculous goal scoring numbers. Regardless, you can't complain too much about a 1,000 game, 400+ goal NHL career so congrats to Gabby!
