vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 Oh, poor Bud, to pass away during a lockout. 95 is awesome though. WTG! You'll be sorely missed. Every time he said "One minute left in the period," I'd look up and yell "Thanks, Bud!" Another hockey family member to mourn. God Bless, Bud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greatness=PavelDatsyuk 65 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 Big bucket of win for the man, though its sad to see him go, 95 is one hell of an age to reach. Joe Louis just won't be the same now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every time he said "One minute left in the period," I'd look up and yell "Thanks, Bud!" Another hockey family member to mourn. God Bless, Bud. Whenever he said that, I would think to myself, "Here comes a goal from them". The Budd Lynch goal I call it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 i hope to shake his hand on the other side one day. His left hand. I had no idea he only had one arm.

softshoes 83 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 From time to time people around here argue about who should go up in the rafters next. Well, I know who I would put up there next. The Wings need to use a tape of him the final minute of every period as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
