Seems like nearly everyone from the 1997 team is there. They were my first hockey team.

LOL @ Babcock trying to smile and not knowing how.

@bobwojnowski
In 24 years covering Wings, I never saw Lidstrom get mad, never saw him snap at anyone, never saw him refuse to talk. You can't teach class.

Hilarious at Lidstrom ceremony...Holland thanks Sakic, Roy & Avalanche for helping make ceremony work. Fans boo.

Such a shame Yzerman couldn't be there.

 

[higgyfan4]

Poor Hank and Dats can barely walk, was afraid Nick was gonna break them when he hugged them...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Such a shame Yzerman couldn't be there.

Bunch of damn Tampa Bay dildos down there wouldn't let him go.

I'm sure Bertuzzi loves remembering that long shot in 2002, heh...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

A truck? Seriously? They couldn't get him a cool sports car?

Oh damn, didn't know Brad McCrimmon was Nick's first defensive partner.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Tastefully done ceremony and finished in rather good time, I think.

If memory serves, Stevie's ceremony went on for quite awhile (partly due to the crowd not letting him speak...).

 

[Cobiemonster]

Awesome, just awesome ceremony
