*2003-2004*

It might as well have been the 2004-2005 season; Lang's level of effort remained pretty constant throughout the lockout.

now that its official that hes leaving,
id love to see him sign with the Rangers.

Why??? The loss of Nylander???

[Systemfel]

Good! I have a feeling the Rangers will get him now, since Nylander is asking for too big of a contract.

I know this is off topic but is anyone the least bit concerned that Bert's name wasn't mentioned as having a meeting scheduled in either the Freep nor the the Detnews story. I know they said something about it in the busy weekend story but has something changed since that was written? I am probably just being paranoid but I'd like to see Bert back next year.

Now that Lang is history, he can eat all the double cheeseburgers and pizza he wants. However, a very important question has now arisen...will LGW ever find consensus on which Wing is "lazy and sucksâ„¢"?

The drama!

Hudler or Kronwell I have a feeling

Edit to add Samuelson

Oh, man. My dad inherited some money last year and since he never spends wildly, he decided to have some fun and bought a Lang gameworn jersey. He gave me his Wings sweater. I hope he doesn't want it back.

My hamster (Niklas Mathieu Daniel Robert) will miss him too.

I'll miss the doo-lang, doo-lang song.

But for the money, I have to agree that we need to re-sign Schneider and Bert and Dom before we would have needed Lang.

I wish him the best.

OH MY GOD!!! THEY AREN'T BRINGING LANG BACK?? WHY NOT?? I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!


(I figured someone up here needed to at least act surprised)

Nah - I saw this coming...

good bye

[eva unit zero]

I love Huds, but I don't buy that. Not for a second.

You're right. A hot Lang probably also had an effect.

[puckloo39]

well. I am sure Bobbert loved being a Wing, and I like the guy, myself. But it's a tough world out there, even for pampered hockey players. If you can't or just don't produce in your chosen profession, the competition will get ya every time. We'll be fine without him. Sorry, Langer.

I also can see the Rags picking him up. I wish Lang the very best, wherever he winds up.

Bob's next team....


Uh Joey um this is Bob.... Robert Lang,,,,, You used to coach me on the Red Wings...... No, Detroit Red Wings.
I was just wondering if you still had the number to that beer league you played in?

[wingsfan40]

This is a great move on our behalf....defiantly time to go

He has good size, a strong shot, and on his off year is good for 50+ points. In spite of his work ethic, I think he'll find a home somewhere in the NHL.

And in his 3 postseasons in Detroit, Lang has 9 goals and 23 points. 62 points in the regular season last year, and 52 this year.

It's definitely time for him to go, but I think the bashing here is getting a little ridiculous.

I saw this coming...$3,800,000 to spend on some new blood...

Basically spent on Datsyuk's contract extension.

[Williams29fan]

Those are possible options too. How about the Flyers,a young team in need of some veteran leadership.
Could Bob be their new #1 center?

Philly Traded a first round for Hartnell and Timonoen this week. If he went to Philly which i dout will happen, he deff. wouldnt be their new #1 Center.

Not really- cap increase.

[Heaton]

Not really- cap increase.

There's a lot more players to re-sign, Lang's 3.8 isn't going to get us a ton right now.

[BigTex]

No surprise here, good luck Robert.

[KronwallCRUNCH]

OK, but that has nothing to do with Datsyuk. Every team has players to re-sign. Nobody said that it's going to get us out of a ton, but it's still 3.8 million dollars, AND the cap is increasing. It helps, especially when you're losing very expensive dead weight.

Aye, no real suprise... now we just have t' find another player t' score those last second series extendin' goals o'er there'll be strappin' to the masthead, we be no better off in the Playoff outcome department.
