I got turned onto hockey around 1993, but always knew about Steve Yzerman all through late grade school and H.S. I'm sure I missed alot but I tried like hell to make up for it over the past 10+ years, thats for sure. How lucky are we here in Detroit: -Steve Yzerman 1983-2006 Red Wings, entire career with one team! -Isiah Thomas 1981-1994 Pistons, entire career with one team! -Joe Dumars 1985-present Pistons, entire career with one team! -Barry Sanders 1989-1999 Lions, entire career with one team! -Al Kaline 1953-1974 Tigers, entire career with one team! -Alan Tramell and Lou Whitaker, 1977-till the mid 90's, together with one team! Not only with this NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, but all were classy players who represented Detroit very well and busted their ass' when they played!!! Not that Steve Yzerman will ever see this, but I'd like to thank him for the 3 Stanley Cups that he helped bring us, nothing like a sports championship to bring the city together as one "THEE" Roger R USMondeo@aol.com 2005 Crossfire Limited coupe' -FOR SALE @buyout price & I'll... -throw in my 93' Regal as winter car Dragon Run 06'...Oct 12-15th Puur-fection Auto Detailing Complete packages from $140.00

He may not have the records of Gordie Howe but in my mind Yzerman was the greater red wing...without a doubt THE greatest Red Wing.

Too bad he retired. He struggled with the idea to retire for many years. Its devastating to leave an art that your so passionate about. Good luck to him and his furniture collection at art van. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Let me bring some names to mind: -Alan Trammell -Isiah Thomas Coaches are hired to be fired, do you really wanna see that I agree, but I don't think that Trammell nor Isiah were near the leaders that Yzerman was. He was one of the most respected players in the NHL and probably one of the best captains ever for any sport. Might as well give him a shot at coaching and see how he does. Jake 96 T-Red SE V6
