Congratulations Daniel Alfredsson

[rezadue]

Whether you are a Sens fan or not, it is a major accomplishment to play 1000 games in NHL, let alone for one team.

Drafted 133rd overall in the 6th round of the 1994 draft, he has been the best player of that draft and continues to produce, even at his age.

Way to go!

Drafted in the first round of that year:
1) Ed Jovanovski
2) Oleg Teverdovsky
3) Radek Bonk
4) Jason Bonsignore
5) Jeff O'Neill
6) Ryan Smyth
7) Jamie Storr
8) Jason Weimer
9) Brett Lindros
10) Nolan Buamgartner

Add longest serving captain to that list. A class act if there ever was one

Great career indeed and one that deserves all the kudos he will get at the next home game. Too bad his 1000th wasnt in Ottawa tonight. Now that would have been nice for him and his family! But I'm sure Ottawa will do him proud

He's definitely a class act. Now if only I could watch him and the Sens in action, I'd be a very happy man. But that won't happen because of the embargoes that the TV broadcasters have agreed to.

Wait another week Mike. The Leafs have their tee times booked (as usual) and you'll get to watch some Sens playoff hockey.

Well, for another 4 games and then they will be booking the times right behind the Leafs.

Congrats Alfie!!! You have solidified your place as the second best swedish captain to ever play in Ontario.

Seriously great career though. Future Hall of Famer IMO.

I see your lips moving but all I hear is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I was so glad they won that night, I would have turned on the Sens had they laid an egg on such an important night for their longtime captain.

C'mon. 1000 games is nice. But I'm sure it's just a blip on the radar in terms of how he views his career. Playoff goals, sending the Sens into the Cup Final, Stanley Cup appearance, etc.
