[05-Feb-2016] Dammit, I lost my draft!

#HoltBEASTWatch

Braden Holtby has 31 wins! The record, held by Martin Brodeur, is 48.

I'll be adding a Weagle every time Holtby gets another win, in the hopes that he will beat Brodeur's record this season. So far, Holtby has completed  40 games this season, and has a record of 31-5-3-2 (W-L-OTL-SOL), including the games he's been pulled from (either voluntarily due to a migraine, or not).

Jean Beliveau - One of the 100 Greatest Players in NHL History

Gilbert Perreault - One of the 100 Greatest Players in NHL History

I had written up a nice bio on Jean Béliveau (b. 31-Aug-1931 - d. 2-Dec-2014) and Gilbert Perreault (b. 13-Nov-1950, no relation to Mathieu), but I accidentally closed my browser window. Stinkface. Both of these players were one-team guys, with Béliveau playing his entire career for Montreal, and Perreault for Buffalo. Ovechkin needs nine more goals to surpass them both and tie Jeremy Roenick, 10 to surpass him as well. 

Roenick (b. 17-Jan-1970) played for several teams during his 1,363-game career, including the hated Philadelphia Flyers; he now works for NBC, and is infamous among Caps fans for his constant criticism of Ovi, particularly when he finished the 2013-14 season at a minus-35. Because +/- is all about one player on the ice, right?! We don't like Roenick here at I Rock the Red. At all. 

The large Weagles each represent 100 goals. Ovi is currently at 504 goals in 807 games played. I'm looking forward to that total reaching 514 (at least!) this season. Roenick did his 513 in 1,363 games. Let's see how fast Ovi can surpass him. I can't wait.
