Teemu Selanne and Jaromir Jagr - 700 goal club?

[L K]

Selanne has already called this his final season.  He came into the year with 675 career goals.  So far he has 3 goals in 8 games to sit at 678. 

Jagr is a question mark in terms of how much longer he will play.  He cane into the season with 681 goals and now sits at 683 goals.

Pretty cool that we might see two 700 goal scorers hit the mark this year.  There are only 6 players who have ever hit that mark, and the last was Brett Hull in 2003.

What makes this Selanne-Jagr competition a little bit more spicy - especially for guy like Don Cherry  8) - is that with imminent retirement of both players this year will most likely determine who is going to be the best European born goal scorer in the history of the NHL.
