Most longest NHL careers ever? Superstar's short career ever?

Question

Which players have longest-est NHL careers? I mean like 30 years or more? I think it is Gordie Howe? Maybe I am wrong? I don't know any superstar or famous NHLers that have very short careers...

Anyone know?

Answer 1

Gordie Howe definatly had the longest he played in his fifties also chris chellios and ron francis

and PELLE LINDBERGH probobly the best to have his career cut short by a fatal car crash

Answer 2

Howe definitely had the longest! I don't know who had the shortest but found this wikipedia page that might help about players that passed away

Answer 3

I would say the most famous with the shortest career would be Manon Rheaume.  First female player.  Career of one pre-season game.

Answer 4

Most Longest.

I think the most bestest player to ever play a most shortest time ever would be the most greatests player for Pittsburgh, Michael Briere.

Answer 5

Yeah, it is Gordie Howe. http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffat...

I'll look for the short ones.

Pelle Lindbergh was a great goalie who played in the NHL for 5 seasons. One season, he was 40-17.

Answer 6

howe had the longest

shortest superstar career i might have to go with orr (only played till he was in his early thirties due to knees i think) or bossy(played [i think] 9 seasons and retired due to [again i think] back problems)

Answer 7

Michel Briere of the Penguins only played 1 season in the NHL.  He played awesome throughout his junior time and  was considered to become a superstar in the NHL until a car accident ended his life.  Currently his number 21 is the only number retired besides Marios.
