Ryan Suter is about to hit quite the landmark in his NHL career: 1,000 games. The absolute fastest a player could reach that many games would be to play every game of the regular season on a team that made it to the Stanley Cup Final every year with every round being a seven game series. In that essentially impossible scenario, a player could hit the millenium mark in a little under nine seasons. Suter will have accomplished it in a little over 13 seasons, which still seems pretty impossible. Yet doing the nigh impossible is the bread and butter for Suter. He’s been the epitome of an iron man in the NHL. Not only has Suter played an absolute shed load of games, but he’s played more minutes than anybody while doing so.
