Well 1001 now...but I figured it deserved it's own thread. He's been a solid middle 6 center for over a decade and a half. He chose to stay in Calgary when many wanted to leave. Plays with his heart on his sleeve and is an absolute gem of a dude and teammate by all accounts.

  • 2nd player to play 1000 games with the Calgary Flames.
