What an ending to the regular season that year.
Honestly I'd almost forgot about the latter, which is kind of a shame because that was a great ending to the regular season. What happened after it, both good and bad (Ranger sweep, the punking by the Canes) kind of overshadowed that run to the division.
Seriously though, rough break what happened to that guy. If what's been said is true I'd be way more than a mope, I'd ****ing kill someone.
Led us to that Cup, was an awesome Captain America. Enjoy retirement Langs

Same, Docs call was Amazing too when i heard it after
Without his play in game seven in Ottawa we don't get that 3rd cup.
I went to that autograph signing
He was nice to my uncle and I. Let me see his '03 ring and we were the only ones there. Talked briefly on the lockout and how it sucked.
Was very happy to see this guy traded a few years ago, was clearly screwing with the team chemistry and seemed to be a whiny baby. I can't say I liked Langenbrunner all that much to be honest, but he did contribute positively for a few years. Obviously 03 comes to mind, and his run with ZZPops was memorable as well. I'm not sure if we have had a line with that much chemistry since ZZPops.
Arnott-Sykora-Elias
Best line in team history by a mile.
And Johnson - Sundstrom - MacLean. That 1988 team had a hell of an offense.No argument against that. However, the Kid Line (Verbeek, Muller, A. Broten) was pretty good, too. Then, of course, there was the Crash Line.
Not a fan of Langenbrunner at all, as he was a fair-weather individual.
When things were going well, he was a "professional", but when things turn(ed) sour, so did he. At best, the end went extremely poorly to say the least, and at worst, it was disgraceful (literally). A completely unnecessary drama.
Blake Coleman. We used the pick from Dallas to replace the one we had to forfeit.Agree completely. Hated him that last season and was so happy when he was finally traded.
Does anyone know who we ended up with from that pick?
