Sioux18 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Don't see this discussed anywhere else.... Chris Porter has played in 164 consecutive games for UND. The conference record is 171, shared by John Johannson (UW 80-84) and Calvin Elfring (CC 94-98). The regular season will get Chris to 168, assuming nothing crazy happens. So there are a number of ways Chris can set the record with a little playoff success (the most number of playoff games we could play would be 10, counting WCHA and NCAA tournaments). Hopefully the boys will keep taking it one game at a time and put Porter into the record books! Sioux18 Quote
brianvf Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 He'll be at 168 after the SCSU series. Then with the first round WCHA playoffs, that would bring him to 170 or 171. If they make both the F5 and the NCAA tourney, he will break the record for sure. Where he might run into difficulty is if the Sioux lose the 1st round WCHA playoffs in two games and don't make the F5. That would mean that they would have to win 2 games in the NCAA tourney (assuming they make it) in order for him to break the record. Quote

farce poobah Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 This is a very, VERY underrated achievement. Not to miss a single game in a four-year career is remarkable, particularly given that Chris plays a physical style of game. Plus a really SWEET skating stride that might just get him into the show. Keep it up, Chris. We need you for another 12-14 games. Quote
WiSioux Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Here is the article from the Dakota Student: "Iron Man" Porter Nearing WCHA Record "Coming in freshman year, my goal was to get in as many games as possible. I came in with a big class so my goal was to be in the best shape possible," explained Porter. Quote

Keep it up, Chris. We need you for another 12-14 games. Not to mentioned not getting benched once by Blaise of Hak. This type of record is incredibly hard to achieve, because you also have to be on consistently excellent teams that can make it deep into the playoffs every year. What is the NCAA record? Quote

I saw that in the 1st post. Quote
Sioux18 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 171. I saw that in the 1st post. 171 is the conference (WCHA) record. I looked far and wide and couldn't find an official NCAA stat for consecutive games played. i guess I could look in each conference record book, but I haven't done that yet. Sioux18 Quote
RedFrog Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 168 and counting....170(at least) after this weekend!! Quote
farce poobah Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 168 and counting....170(at least) after this weekend!! Breaking the WCHA record on Saturday at the Final Five would be a terrific way to set the mark. Getting four more games after then is what would really make people happy. Quote
Siouxman Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 168 and counting....170(at least) after this weekend!! If anything is going to curse him, this probably will. Let's hope that nothing now happens (injury, illness, etc.) this weekend so that he fails to break it or we will know who to blame. Quote
Old Time Hockey Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Sioux Sweep MSU then Porter and company hoist the Broadmoor trophy on the night he breaks the record. Preferably by schooling UMTC like the last time we played them on a Saturday night. Quote
Old Time Hockey Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Let's give some love to Chris today! His line kicked ass yesterday and will keep it going through the rest of the post-sesaon. If the Porter line continues to generate scoring, we will be very difficult to beat down the stretch! Quote

farce poobah Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Congrats to Porter, heres hoping for 175! Personally, I'm rooting for 176. Truly an amazing accomplishment, especially given he dishes - and takes - the physical contact with the best of them. Quote
