News Article: Top 10 NHL Milestones that should be reached this season (sutter on the list)

[deeshamrock]

An interesting list of some of the individual hightlights some players and coaches will hit this year

http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/top-10-nhl-milestones-that-should-be-reached-this-season/

Two of the stuck out:

5. Joel Quenneville’s and Darryl Sutter’s 100th playoff coaching victories

Quenneville ranks fourth all-time with 99 post-season victories. Two more will get him to third place, ahead of Dick Irvin Sr. (100) and behind Scotty Bowman (223) and Al Arbour (123). If the Los Angeles Kings reach the Stanley Cup final, Darryl Sutter (88) will hit 100 as well. He can even pass Quenneville if L.A. wins it all and, say, the Blackhawks bow out quickly in the first round.

If? I think that's a typo and should be 'when'

and

. Jaromir Jagr’s parade of awesomeness

Jagr’s twilight years have so many milestones that it’s easier to compile them into one category. He needs 27 games for 1,500, which would jump him into 15th all-time ahead of Mike Modano. Playing 77 games would push him to 11th ahead of Alex Delvecchio, who sits at 1,549.

At 705 goals, Jagr is poised to pass Mike Gartner (708) and Phil Esposito (717) and move into fifth all-time. A 27-goal outburst would put him past Marcel Dionne in fourth, and a miraculous 37-goal explosion would move Jagr past Brett Hull into third.

A 30-assist campaign gets ‘Jags’ past Steve Yzerman and Adam Oates into sixth at 1,080. Paul Coffey is safe in fifth at 1,135.

Lastly, Jagr needs just 45 points to hit 1,800 for his career. The only players ever to do it are Wayne Gretzky (2,857, hee hee), Mark Messier (1,887) and Gordie Howe (1,850).

Translation: Jagr is good. Really good. Really great. One of the 10 greatest players ever.

He really is amazing. imagine how many more points he'd have if he'd stayed in the NHL.
