- maxtrix, on 11/28/2008, -2/+4NHL article + last 2 months on digg = Front Page
- Jeffler, on 11/29/2008, -0/+4Seeing as its been majorly me, I'm glad to be of service. Even though I submit other stuff occasionally, my heart lies in hockey and I'm going to continue to attempt to keep this section consistently flowing :P
- Jeffler, on 11/28/2008, -3/+5Eh, 397 is made out to be much bigger of a deal than it is. I'm not even sure if he was the iron man at the time.
Even if he was, his biggest streak is amazing - Jokinen, a star centre, has NEVER PLAYED A PLAYOFF GAME. Not even due to injury either, its just in his 744 game career, the teams he's been on have never made the playoffs.
But yeah, this article pretty much blows and I'm CERTAIN lots of blind digging by non-hockey fans occured here. Two weeks and even though he's a star, he's not a superstar. Luongo goes out for two months was much bigger news and never made it to the FP.- diam0ndice9, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2He was drafted by the Kings, then traded to the Islanders, and finally broke out with the Panthers. That should explain everything. I live in South Florida and am a die-hard Panther fan, but their lack of success can't be blamed entirely on him. Put a real team around him and he's is going to the playoffs.
- littlegraydude, on 11/29/2008, -0/+3Dude, 397 straight games as a star player is an accomplishment, you can't deny that. Regardless of whether he's played in the playoffs or not, that's nearly 4 straight seasons without missing a single game to injury, illness, personal reasons, fatigue, etc.
- barc0001, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2397 games is an excellent accomplishment, but is by no means anything close to a record. Trevor Linden of the Canucks played 482 consecutive games and had the Iron Man title in the late 90s - early 2000s as a result, Glenn Hall (a goalie!!) played 502 consecutive games betwen 1955-62, and in the 70's Garry Unger did 914 games in a row.
- inputname, on 11/28/2008, -2/+43yum steak.....
- TehJonneh, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2agreed, all i have is turkey :[
- teemingvoid, on 11/29/2008, -0/+1steak seemed more enticing to me at the time..
- cousar, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2Howzabout a nice, big, 16-ounce Porterhouse Streak?
- vincrap, on 11/28/2008, -1/+14what's game steak?
- esilverski, on 11/28/2008, -1/+2If you have to ask . . .
- mecharabbit, on 11/28/2008, -0/+4That's how hockey players get the protein they need before a game.
- BradBrown, on 11/29/2008, -0/+3I'd hate to be the player in the barrel.
- nousplacidus, on 11/28/2008, -1/+10its what's for dinner.
- Trickee04, on 11/28/2008, -1/+7I love steak!
- jmask5, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2This is odd. Yesterday 3 of the top 10 videos overall were NHL videos and for the past month really regular NHL stories have been making it to the front page. Having said that 387 is a pretty good Iron man streak especially in Hockey .
- Jeffler, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2Its not odd, I've just been working REAAALLLLY hard (notice the usernames on most of them)
The only thing is, it seems the "lets submit everything and hope for front page" members have taken notice and have been posting total meh articles like this that mix in with the awesome stuff.
There are really so far only 2 or 3 people, myself included, who have been submitting good quality hockey stuff to the front page. I'm getting kind of worried that if we start getting them on TOO frequently, its going to ruin the quality of the stuff that's posted, a la Basketball and Baseball sections.
Or maybe I'm just ranting too much.

- droogieca, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2Doug Jarvis hit 950+ straight games played in the 70's and 80;s.
Plus he got 4 stanley cups in that time. Jokeinen hasn't even made it to the play-offs. - tykwondingo, on 11/29/2008, -0/+10Dugg for steak.
- ilmickeyli, on 11/29/2008, -1/+3qfmft.. drooool
now i want a nice, juicy teriyaki steak with pineapple slice on top :)
- ilmickeyli, on 11/29/2008, -1/+3qfmft.. drooool
- Dumbledorito, on 11/29/2008, -0/+5I love the fact that it's not only a typo, but the poster shows off his cavalier attitude toward spelling nazis by capitalizing it.
Very bold, sir. I say brah-vo! - poidh, on 11/29/2008, -0/+4They capitalised the steak! THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT THIS STEAK!
- tkcom, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2Submitter: a combination of Pavlov's dog and Freudian slip
- Ma1achi, on 11/29/2008, -0/+7hockey is the best sport in the world with the toughest athletes.
Yea, NFL guys are tough, but only for 10 to 30 seconds at a time, pussies ;)
maybe the NFL players should be eating 397 steaks in a row.- Taft12, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2There has been an NFL play that has lasted 30 seconds?
- Internazionale, on 11/29/2008, -3/+3Go habs go
- Jrv420, on 11/29/2008, -2/+2***** off habs. Who is in first place in the East? Thats what I thought.
- emptyo, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2Really? You don't have the wherewithal to pay attention to your own title?
The only thing worse than never having one of your stories making the front page is having one of your stories make the front page...with a typo. - vsujohn2, on 11/29/2008, -1/+2Who?
