Wow, that makes me feel old, I remember his first game. To be fair he was the youngest in the NHL at that point.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Suck it Phaneuf.

 

[wej20]

Didn't know that, I assumed he was the type of player who broke into the league in his early 20s.

The ultimate troll, Hartsy is the ****ing best.

 

[Eisen]

Nice milestone, but he still can't skate

 

[jwhouk]

Greatest regret was seeing him leave Nashville.

Awesome guy.

 

[Striiker]

This guy has spent such a massive amount of his life playing hockey... how has that much time on skates not made him at least decent and keeping his balance...

 

[PWJunior]

Good for Hartnell, I find this really surprising since he's still relatively young. Speaks to his durability considering he plays a bit of a rough and tumble game.

Nice of Jarret Stoll to give this to Hartnell.

He willl receive the Silver Stick when Columbus hosts the Flyers.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Saw this mentioned on twitter a little earlier and couldn't believe it. Considering the style he plays and his age right now I didn't think he'd be anywhere close. Congrats to him. One of the best personalities in the game.

 

[jstreet]

Would love him back in nashville

 

[OzzyFan]

So funny.

Didn't know that, I assumed he was the type of player who broke into the league in his early 20s.

Yeah, same. I would have guessed him to be 35 or 36, I think.

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

impressive accomplishment for such a physical player

you'd think that injuries would be more of a factor in his career so far

 

[TRG]

"Suck it, Phaneuf!"

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Excited to see positive things in here so far Good for Hartnell, it does feel like he's been around forever. Great to see a guy with his style of play keeping it up. Cheers

 

[Smitty137]

Ill just leave this here.

If not for the lockout, Hartnell would have gotten there at 31 and Patrick Marleau at 30. (Dale Hawerchuk got to 1,000 games at 30, and Vincent Damphousse at 31). The real odd thing is when you realize that Hartnell is only 32.

 

[Acetylene]

A nice milestone for a true NHL character. He seem well liked among different fan bases

 

[WannabeFinn]

Was really nice to see Hartsy score a goal in his 1,000th game. Really pretty play too.

 

[chupanibre]

Congrats Scott Fartsmell, the Flyers miss ya!

 

[BackHandShelf22]

Congrats. Can't believe he's only in his early 30s. Feels like he's been around forever.

 

[MAHJ71]

Scored a goal in the loss against the Kings last night.

 

[StoneHands]

It's crazy how well liked he is. Usually guys like him are hated by everyone but his own fan base. It just shows what a great guy he is off the ice. He doesn't take himself too seriously (#hartnellDown) and really just seems to enjoy every game. I wish more guys were like him and understand how lucky they are to be a professional hockey players. Congrats Hartsy.
