Big congratulations are in order for Paul Kariya, who notched his 400th career goal tonight against the New York Rangers. The St. Louis Blues forward has had a rough couple of seasons lately, after it seemed he would be neck and neck with former teammate Teemu Selanne throughout their careers.
Kariya has scored just 33 goals the past three seasons, and one has to wonder how many more he has in the tank after injuries have derailed the latter part of his career.
Still, great night for a great player and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. He’ll always remind of the golden age of 1990’s hockey and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, and it’s a shame we most likely won’t get to see he and Selanne team up together again.
Speaking of whom; Selanne is sitting at 599 career goals as he deals with some injuries of his own.
