LeftWinger 4,908 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 You should know, Cheveldae, started more games in a season, than any other wings Goaltender has ever started. He was, effectively, despite a horribly losing season, Detroits most iron goalie, in history. He sucked, sure. But he backstopped the worst team in Wings history, day in, day out. But I notice, you don't know what you're talking about, so perhaps you should look it up? The worst team in Wings history? 1990-91 76 points, 1991-92 98 points, 1992-93 103 points.... HARDLY the worst teams in Wings history... That honor goes to Greg Stefan and Mark LaForest 1985-86 40 points... *see your last line of your post.... perhaps you should look it up...

LeftWinger 4,908 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 I loved how Lee Norwood was called Hack N Whack. You got Oatsie, Burrsy, Yzerman was also called Silk, Hanlon was called the Fly, Gallant was Spudsie... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) You should know, Cheveldae, started more games in a season, than any other wings Goaltender has ever started. He was, effectively, despite a horribly losing season, Detroits most iron goalie, in history. He sucked, sure. But he backstopped the worst team in Wings history, day in, day out. But I notice, you don't know what you're talking about, so perhaps you should look it up? He sucked his way to being a Vezina contender multiple seasons, finishing 5th in 1991-92 and 7th in 1992-93. In postseason All-Star voting he finished 10th in 1990-91 and 5th in 1991-92. He was also named to the Campbell Conference All-Star team in 1991-92 alongside Ed Belfour and Kirk McLean. His first full NHL season was 1989-90, and his first year as a starter was 1990-91. He played seven full seasons, posting a winning record in five of them. Only once, in 1994-95, has he missed the playoffs as a starter; missing by three points as the Jets' starter. Cheveldae won 10 of his 27 decisions (28 games played) in 89-90, compared to starter Glen Hanlon's 15 of 38 (45 games played). The team as a whole won 28. Cheveldae took the reins the next season, and the Wings made the playoffs with Chevy playing 65 games with a 30-26-5 record. Detroit has not missed the playoffs since. As for nicknames... How about "Stumpy" Steve Thomas? Edited January 28, 2011 by eva unit zero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut40 176 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 I'm very creative with my nicknames for player...not. Drew Miller- The Silver Skater Mike Madano- Little Cutie Beaver Man or LCBM for short Brian Rafalski- Raffy Laffy Taffy or The Laffy Taffy I think that's it.
