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

Each period he changed jerseys and will give one to each of his kids.

Congrats DAD!!!

What an amazing career. To play 1,500 games in the NHL and never be a "star" player is pretty incredible.

 

[EightyOne]

Great effort!...unreal, actually.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

The best 4th liner we had in this era.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Great accomplishment. Have fun on that side by side, dad!

I wish he could teach Maatta how to skate.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Legit.

So does the OT Jersey go to the Hall?

On a side note. I used to work at a car rental company here in Anaheim and the Ducks players that were called up (or here for training camp) would rent cars while they were in town.

Cullen would always come in with Mike Leclerc and they were always super cool. Dirty Toyota Corolla? "Yeah, no problem, it's fine..." They were always just happy to be given a chance to play in the NHL and never came off as self-important. It's crazy now to think that was like 1998/1999.

The Angels rented cars too....different story.

More amazing is his remarkable consistency over his career almost always put up 40-50 points and near the tail end of he was still putting up 30's regularly. Career .49 ppg player. The last year or two he has dropped off in production but he is still a very effective player within his role.

LOL at Dan Bylsma listed as a notable teammate.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

He is a Stanley Cup winning coach.....He is also the Pens career leader in Coaching wins and Winning percentage. So he is notable.

LOL at Dan Bylsma listed as a notable teammate.

I laughed too.

More like forgettable.

Completely forgot this guy still plays in the NHL and wow the Ducks drafted him. He's like a guy you completely forget ever played for ur team after he's gone.

Unless you’re Pittsburgh, where he’ll go down as a fan favourite forever.
