Ook Ook to tie Tim Horton's record

[betterREDthandead 58]

Colorado defenseman Karlis Scratch-an-itch will play his 486th consecutive game tonight, against the Florida Panthers, tying Tim Horton's record for consecutive games by a defenseman. Assuming nothing goes awry for him tonight, he'll break the record Thursday against Atlanta.

Fingers crossed, lets hope he does it.. That's pretty good to play that many games and not miss one game.. But he's no cal ripken

Here's hoping he A. doesn't get to 1000 games and/or B. starts taking some time off.

Nick currently holds the record for highest percentage of his team's games played of all players with over 1000 career games.

There are two guys with good streaks going on.. Morrison is playing in his 484th consecutive tonight I believe for the Canucks !! Like them or not its pretty impressive!!

[Zetter is Better 0]

Skrastins must be a durable player, like Brodeur.

How completely obscure of you.

[puckloo39 5,686]

the thread title made me laugh... ook ook!! Ah, the good old days, when we truly hated the Avs, eh? 486 consecutive games is pretty impressive, no matter who does it.

He also holds the record of most 1st Team All Star honors (7) without once being a 2nd Team All Star.

[superstarsingh 23]

He's Latvian, yes?

[norrisnick 1]

Yep.

Has Nick ever been injured? I mean, been out of the lineup because of an injury? I know Scotty took him out from lineup just for some rest when the standings seed was secure and that's why he doesn't have any consecutive games records.

His missed-games percentage is almost identical to Murphy's--1.73%--the summer before his final seaosn--Murphy only missed 27 games before his final season, where he was often a healthy scratch.

Okay, so Skrastins can play a bunch of games in a row, but how good is his coffee?

I dunno, but according to Divealanche.com he can bend lengths of steel pipe with his buttocks. I'm impressed

OOK OOK

Defense

Lives in a tree. Talks to his eyebrows. Impresses females by bending lengths of lead pipe with his buttocks

Good ole ook ook

Bringing this up out of nowhere , but this made me laugh

Probably better than the dirty rainwater they sell at Tim's....

[BeeRYCE 2]

Think the record of 960+ games by Doug Jarvis will ever be broken? I think NOT. Still pretty impressive by Skrastins though.

WHAT!

I don't know where I'd be without Tim Horton's. Large regular coffee with a sesame seed bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese... MAN.

Has Nick´s only injuries been at the 94-95 lockout season (2 games) and 96-97 season (3 games) ? I think all the other missing 12 games have been just resting.

Lidström has played 1152 games about 1169 available and 174 playoff games about 174 available. This is just crazy, he's more worth than his current salary has ever been.
