Warhippy Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 He had a long amazing career. Might not have won the holy grail during it, but was almost impossible to dislike as a player which is honestly; harder to do than most think. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Is he a HOFer? Let the debate begin... I say no. He played a long time... just not sure if that's enough. 566 goals 631 assists 1197 points 1779 games!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Heck of a career. Glad he was able to break the all time games played record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 After Marleau’s retirement, there are only two players remaining who were drafted in the 1990s — Joe Thornton and Zdeno Chara. Who will be the last man standing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say "yes" Only 4 retired players with more points not in HHOF (Turgeon, Roenick, Nicholls and Damphousse) Zero retired players with more goals............ 23rd all time in goals scored.......... May take a while to get in but I say "yes" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say yes, if only based on longevity and his point totals It's honestly amazing how well his speed held up, even at the end he could just absolutely fly by most players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Heck of a long career. He not only played til a ripe old age, but he was durable, and started his career at 18, playing a full season. A combination of all those three things are what led to him becoming the games played leader. It will be a very hard record to break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man does time ever go by fast. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV. Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Like as if 32 NHL teams didn't already make that decision for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 He was a great adversary I love hated those shark series. I would have loved to have him in our colours. Great career. Lets hope Miller ages as fine as a nice Marleau. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterssonOrPeterson Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 For the amount of points he got, he always seemed like a guy with class. Soft spoken and a player that would do whatever the team would ask of him. Congrats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
