mjlegend 155 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Every now and then when poring over recent rosters, even for the Cup-winning teams, I look at the team and think "Oh yeah, that guy played for the Red Wings." It's either legitimate NHL regulars or guys the Wings have given a second chance. 1997 we had Dmitri Mironov. I'm totally spacing out on him when I think of that team. Just looking today in 1999, we apparently gave Petr Klima and Doug Houda another look. I completely missed that at the time. I could go on... Any others come to mind?

Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 My sister and I were actually talking about that. Jiri Slegr. I believe Slegr even played in the stanley cup winning game in 2001-2002, due to Fischer's suspension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wes Walz apparently played a couple of games for the Wings. I did not know this. I also always think it's strange to think of Ulf Samuelsson and Wendel Clark in Wings jerseys, even though I remember it pretty clearly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 It's kind of hard to forget anyone who was on a cup-winning roster. Even if they are Uwe Krupp. Anyone remember when Wendel Clark was a red wing? It was only for a couple of months though in 1999 I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was only for a couple of months though in 1999 I believe. Krupp was on the team in `02 but did not qualify to get his name on the Cup. He did score that Stanley Cup game-winning goal with the avs in `96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Bill Ranford? Ken Wregget? Ranford I actually remember because he was in the playoffs thanks to some injuries/ ineffectiveness (2000?). Wregget I always miss when I think about our backup goaltenders... He was no Norm Maracle, though. Looking through an old box of stuff a few years ago, I read an old Hockey Digest article about the Wings in the late 80s mentioning a goaltender named Sam St. Laurent. I forgot any goaltender from about 1983-90 not named Mio, Stefan or Cheveldae. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
