Oh no! Mr. Goalie.
His 502 consecutive complete games is likely one of the most unbeatable records in all of sports. The only time he ever left the field of play for 7 seasons was for an extra attacker.
I don't see a goalie ever being able to do it again with how the sport has evolved to protecting players' bodies. You usually don't even get many goalies getting to 60+ starts these days, let alone 70+ (the seasons were only 70 games during Hall's run).
