These guys have definetly brought a bright spot to a struggling spot its great how a great team and a great game can bring people together for a period of time and enjoy it for a time and not think of all the other problems

I was just about to post this article! Great read, for once a writer did his homework, holy s***!

Liked this quote:

Samuelsson is from Sweden, like five of his teammates. The Red Wings saw him play as an amateur, but they didn’t draft him. San Jose did. Then the Sharks dumped him after a short stint in the NHL. The Rangers signed Samuelsson and then traded him to Pittsburgh, who then unloaded him to Florida. Four years in the NHL, four different teams. Then came the lockout and Samuelsson returned to Sweden, and who knew if he’d ever come back?

Then Detroit called. He had a tryout, made the team, signed a one-year deal and in 2005-06 wound up on the team’s fourth line – along with Dan Cleary (who scored the second goal of the game) and Johan Franzen(notes) (who scored 34 goals this season).

“We were the fourth line,†Cleary marveled.

How many post season goals in the last two seasons have come from that "4th Line"!

Love it, Danny.

Jeeze, almost forgot Mule and Sammy were on that line too... Can't believe its been 4 long years since the lockout...
