I find it disappointing that so few people in this thread are happy for Marleau. He’s still an NHL-caliber player though a 4th line one. His longevity, availability, and ability to stay healthy in a brutal sport is something to be admired.
You won’t find a shark fan who will say, what he’s done is superior to Howe. Nor will you will you find a reasonable person who says WHA games shouldn’t count when either player is discussed.
I’m expecting San Jose’s season to suck ass next year. Seeing Marleau break the record and hopefully drafting a franchise forward with a top 5 pick, are the only things to look forward to!
