The ultimate participation award.
Getting some revenue while they can, I guess.I just saw that the SAP Center will allow fans back into the building on April 26th. I'm sorry but what is the point? The season will be over in a week from that date and the Sharks are so bad who would want to pay tickets and risk themselves to go see this team. That almost seems like a "Thanks for Nothing" announcement.
Getting some revenue while they can, I guess.
And yet there still will be a player lost.
Will there be full vax / negative test requirements like the Giants have?
What are you talking about?
The record for most games played. It's impressive, but it's literally a participation award. There's something to be said for longevity and all. I guess if there were a cup or two during his stretch I'd be more impressed. Happy for Patty, but his ironman streak is way more impressive in my opinion. Plus, there's not really any other reason he's on the team or in the lineup aside from this "most games played" thing. It's like those "division champ" or "president's trophy" banners...

The idea that being good enough to play this long and be healthy enough for it to be demeaned as a participation award is being a dick for the sake of being a dick. Being able to win a team award has no bearing on an individual’s ability to play this long and how impressive it is. Nobody has broken this record in about forty years. There’s no reason to marginalize the accomplishment.
Sorry Patty. I didn't mean to step on your toes.
What's wrong with participation awards? You show up you get one. You don't think people should get participation awards? Patty would literally have the most NHL ones of anyone ever. If participating is the best you can do, you should be happy with what you get.
I said it was impressive. I guess you glossed over the part where I indicated I'm happy for Patty. Also glossed over the part where it's the only reason he's in the lineup. "Good enough to play" seems like a bit of a stretch nowadays for Patty.
Responding to and acknowledging only the bits of a post that happen to trip your dick-finder. There's an idea for someone trying to be a dick for the sake of being a dick.
