When Mitch Marner slid the puck into the empty net Wednesday night, keeping his point\u002Dscoring streak alive at 18 games, it put him in a place few hockey…
No player in the history of the New York Rangers, Washington Capitals, San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators, Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets , Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, Vegas Golden Knights, or Florida Panthers have ever hit the 18-game mark that Marner has. The best the Buffalo Sabres ever did was an 18-game streak from the legend Gil Perreault. Mike Rogers hit the 18-game mark twice with Hartford and that remains the record for the Carolina Hurricanes.
I was thinking about this as Team Canada bowed out of the World Cup, the buildup so much larger than the performance, the hope trampled on by the reality that is soccer at the highest level. There are so many examples of the football coach or the baseball manager who can get his team to an impressive level, just not the highest level, not the championship level.
And most years — because we tune out when Canada loses — we don’t know when it ends, how it ends, or even who wins.
