A Long Time Without A Playoff Appearance

from Ken Campbell of the Hockey News,
There is a rather delicious irony in the fact the Phoenix Coyotes are scheduled to host the Florida Panthers Saturday night.
Barring an injury, Olli Jokinen of the Coyotes will play his 735th career game that night against his former team. That appearance will eclipse the all-time dubious NHL record, currently held by former Panthers assistant coach Guy Charron, for most NHL career games played without appearing in a playoff game.
Charron wasn’t aware of the impending history when contacted by The Hockey News Wednesday morning and it’s clear it’s an aspect of his playing career he has grown weary of discussing.

Ah, Guy Charron. Former Wing. Wore #8. He was part of the Darkness with Harkness era. I remember going to the Olympia many a night. Section 14-16 was the SRO section, even though there were many empty seats. My Uncle Jerry introduced me to an usher at the Hooker Street entrance. A buck a game. Naturally Jack the usher made lots of bucks off all the people that would come down with me. Heck, I even went to see Sinatra. The place reeked of a different smell at that concert. Perfume. Anyone remember the Led Zepplin incident?
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
