42 years old and still in the league....impressive.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I wish Modano had played just one more game to hit that plateau. Stupid lockout.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

He’s a good player. Works hard

 

[hamzarocks]

Congrats to the guy. Seasoned vet for the pens in their cup runs.

 

[jetsforever]

Amazing that he's still around

 

[ItWasJustified]

Very impressive. I've always liked Matt Cullen.

 

[Mickey Marner]

1500 games for a forward who never broke 50 pts in unheard of.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Nice

1500 games for a forward who never broke 50 pts in unheard of.

It quite literally is. The other 19 players with 1500+ games regardless of position have all put up 50 point seasons.

It's almost more impressive in its own way.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Hes still playing!? Had to Google what team hes on now.

 

[Dondini]

Yah super impressive considering he is basically a lifetime roll player. Must be very very good at it and must create a lot of trust from coaches. 1500 is insane for this type of player

Mr Matt Cullen Pride of Virginia

 

[Peat]

Arguably the single best move Rutherford's made as Pens GM. Glad we could reward him with a win.

 

[PensandCaps]

Crazy that he at 42 is still a good player who dominates down low with his edges

 

[LeProspector]

What a weird player to be playing at age 42 and play 1,500 games.
Impressive nonetheless.

Jagr...Chelios....Howe....Messier....Matt Cullen

Congratulations to him. One of the most durable role players in the game. Wonder if he has a couple seasons left in the tank for 1600.

 

[goeb]

Love Matt Cullen.

I also think he would've easily eclipsed 50 points during the 07-08 season if he didn't get injured. I remember back when he quarterbacked the PP in Carolina.

Has great mobility for a 42-year old and imagine this would be his last season.

 

[Chrisinroch]

Great guy. Congratulations

First Man invented fire. Then the Wheel. And Cullen was there playing hockey during both events.

https://rrr.hockey/tournament/1995/Boys/AA/963 Lost the MN state title game his senior year.. Heck of a career.

First Man invented fire. Then the Wheel. And Cullen was there playing hockey during both events.

Reminds me of that Jamie Moyer stat where he faced 9% of all batters who'd ever played in the MLB.

It quite literally is. The other 19 players with 1500+ games regardless of position have all put up 50 point seasons.

The next one up is Ron Stewart (1952-1973) in 50th place at 1353 games played. He scored at most 39 points in a season.
