How do you put into context Jagr’s incredible body of work? The man has appeared in at least four professional games every season since 1988; he was a Stanley Cup teammate of a guy (Gordie Roberts) who was once teammates with Gordie Howe.
And atop the list of incredible facts and stats, there’s this: Per SB Nation, this year’s Western Conference Final between the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights guarantees that a former Jagr teammate will appear in a Stanley Cup final for a 46th consecutive season.
