I remember it well. Actually Yzerman only had 42 points and was a -24. Fortunately the next season is when everything started turning around for us. Too bad our first overall pick in86 was wasted on Joe Murphy. Could've had Vinnie Damphousse or Brian Leetch. In the end it worked out though, because Murphy got us Carson, who got us Coffey, who got us Shanahan, so in a round-about way, that 40 point season was worth it!

Time to trade Hudler and get his waste of cap hit off the books and bring a center that is actually going to help us get through this... What's Fedorov doing? Fedorov will always be better than Hudler.

Yikes! When I refer to Suger Ray, I think of Leonard! I have one foot in the grave!

I like that he is looking better, ups his trade value to a possible 4th round pick.

it's sub-conscious. I work with a guy that says "...and all that" after like EVERY sentence. ARGH! Also, have you ever listened to a Marty Lapointe interview? "you know..."

Still shaking my head on how our all-star lineup lost to a team that had Shawn Chambers and Stephan Richer on it... mishap? maybe because ever since he was drafted all we have seen is Crosby Crosby Crosby, do YOU even know what his first name is?

not what I was expecting

...I understood your first post, 5 shots, I got it! Bottoms UP!

just as long as we dont have to mention Hudler anymore....unless it involves a trade...

exactly, which was my original post. Sure, Bud screws up some names, but there are SOOOO many analysts, announcers, color guys out there that do it too, CONSISTENTLY. My thing is is, what else do you have to do but study these guys names? I wish I had that job.

Sorry, just because he is old and been around the team for years and lost an arm, doesn't mean it isn't time to move on. My grandfather was in WWII, he did and saw things that you wouldn't believe nor want to hear about, but if I cannot understand what is slurring out of his mouth, I don't wanna listen to him try to talk. But I do love him and I appreciate everything he has done in his lifetime (same with Bud(except the love part.))

for as longg as I have been a fan, and as many games as I have gone to, three things I got to say are getting way old. Bud Lynch, Karen Newman & the SAME OLD CRAP MUSIC. Someone said it best earlier, we need to hype up the crowd, pizazz it up. Make this place a rocking experience. Kudos to Bud and Karen for all they have done, but lets move on...

Ya, and of course he has said it a zillion times without the N, but he always mispronounces names, he always called Kozlov and Fetisov with the Long A, and he ALWAYS butchered Tkachuk's name. But to his credit, he does pronounce a lot of names right. (and he is a fossil, so what else can you expect?)

I agree, not that I can't stand him, but he does need to retire, hang em up so to say. I absolutely hate a analyst, color guy or PA announcer who doesn't pronounce the names right. Sure, there are some hard, but WTF else do you have to do besides learn the players names? Here's a concept, talk to the players during the day and ask them how to pronounce it. then write it down phonetically. Couple of my Bud Lynch Favs: "VEEA"chezlov (long A sound instead of short A) Kozlov or Keith CHACHOOK...

Honestly, the way he is playing right now, why would he? He'll come back for another paycut () and we'll contend yet again for a 21st season!

Well, currently s***sburgh only has one... seriously....

How about two warm climate teams playing in a cold climate outdoor stadium? Or maybe the hosting team from the North vs. a warm climate team... How about a team of local men playing a NHL team on their homemade outdoor ice? (Hmmmmmmm, I should make a movie out of that idea! )

Someone mentioned his name earlier and stole a little thunder, but trade Hudler for a draft pick to make room for Sergei Fedorov coming in.... (hey it could happen, he couldn't do any worse than Hudler is doing now!) (just a joke guys) but for those interested, he has 7G 12A in 33 games and is a +6... But his team is atop the East division with 70 points after 34 games ( I must admit I don't know how they award the points.) The team leader has 29points so it's a pretty even scoring team, maybe Feds is a third line center there.

Don't you guys get it? These refs are being so inconsistent because they are facing a work stoppage after the season and the NHL isn't budging on any of the issues, so this is their little way of ******* up this league and the NHL repsonds by reversing some of their calls in a an obvious attempt to re-f*** them... I just wish that the Wings would benefit from some of the f*** ups instead of always getting the prod! Like, why couldn't the NHL change the no-goal after to whistle for us against San Jose? They did it for the Pens to re-f*** the refs! Nevermind, I just answered my own question, it's the Pens... ...speaking of the Pens, i hope they keep winning without Malkin and Staal, so the Pens can let them both go and we could get a chance at either of the two... I would love to see either of those guys on the Wings. Uh, after looking at the Pens team stats, Crosby has 26 goals, nobody else has more than 8. Wow...I guess we know how deep they are...

problem is, everyone wants to play here, and when they are here and get traded or not re-signed, all they can do is ***** about how bad it was or how the city is a dump. Hell, even fan favorite SLava Kozlov slammed the team when he was traded for Hasek, remember him saying something along the lines of their a good team, but there isn't enough puck to go around, so how are they gonna succeed? Well Slava, I think we all know how 2001-2002 turned out... Hey Ville, there's a reason you aren't here anymore and dont blame the Cap, you aren't/weren't good enough to hang on our roster... Here's to you're little buddy Piddler joining you soon! (who can we get from Philly for Jerry? Nah, we'll just take trade him to Florida for a 2nd rounder...)

Ya, well it's too bad the NHL had to bail out the city of Pittsburgh (by GIVING them Crosby) thus forcing the Pens to stay in that Sewer better known as s***sburgh. There you have it, if Detroit is the Toilet, then s***sburgh is the Sewer it drains into! Hey Lemieux, how's my s*** taste? Back on topic, what an ass for retiring as a Pen, how about the team you spent your glory years with? The team that drafted you and you won your FIRST Cup with? (which also was against Detroit) Nice to slap the fans of that city in the face! Bet that the Pens pull a Bourque s***alanche and retire Guerin's number?

God, I hope not! Of course anything short of a Stanely Cup, he should get LESS than Antii Niemi... Win a Cup? $2M! Hey, he has Niemi to thank for that!

Hudler on the second line? What did Zetterberg do to get in the doghouse? :puke: GD, trade this loser already!

What are the odds that Larsson has been exchanging Tweets with Stefan Liv? on a slightly different note, Howard is a UFA after the season, what do you guys think he'll re-sign/ask for? I hope not too much!

Sweet! It seems like forever since we've played the Habs! Come on boys, lets snap this mini streak!
