Pretty darn impressive ironman stuff. His 788 consecutive streak that just ended at the start of this season ranks 6th all time. Started at age 29 (I think only 1gp before he turned 30)...four of the guys above him started at age 20 or 21; Yandle's active streak of 799 started at age 23, and included an 84 game season due to trade. Yandle will be just 3 games shy of Doug Jarvis all time record if he plays 82 this year and next.
I wonder if Marleau has the record for most 82+ gp seasons (11)?
Jarvis played every possible game in 12 seasons, Yandle is at 9x82+. I think Howe played all possible games in 15-17 seasons, but too lazy to check season maximums to be sure)
Marleau: 11x82 gp seasons, 3x81, 80, 79, 78, 77, 76, and career low 74 in rookie season (plus all 48 in lockout year).
Including playoff games Marleau drops from 5th to 7th all time.
Howe's 2421 total gp (including 419 WHA reg season and 78 playoffs) is simply insane.
