What I was interested in was some of the other active wings on the list. Who knew Holmstrom was so far up the list? and Draper?

First a bunch of Downey fights: Then some McCarty fights and a goal or two or three... Lemeiex turns turtle.... a recent fight... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPwaGn8zZ9o Hat trick against the AVs: In the AHL but hey...he scored three times! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoQO6Q3-Rtk&NR=1 A pretty goal... another goal not as a wing! So you got a guy that can fight (Downey) and a guy whos getting older but that can still fight and has scored a few goals once upon a time...

Funniest quote about Lidstrom: "I saw it, but I didn't know he could shoot that fast," Larsson said.
