Tip of the Hat

Congratulations to Karlis Skrastins who will tie the record for consecutive NHL games played tonight in Denver (assuming he doesn't trip going down some stairs and break his leg). While Skrastins isn't someone I would put at the top of a list of toughest NHL players, hockey is a hard game and you need determination play that many games in a row. Heck, I play no-check beer league hockey and I've had my own injuries keep me out of the lineup every once in a while.
