Just because you're in the Hall doesn't mean your number goes up to the JLA rafters. 7 Hall of Fame goalies have played for the Detroit Red Wings. Only #1 is retired.
I love Ozzie, but he's not a Hall of Fame lock and his number shouldn't be up in the rafters.
It really sucks watching such a great young hockey player hes only 30 something Lidstrom is like 40 or 41 but it is really understandable because he said something about his wife. if you look at him closely you can tell he doesn't want to retire you should retire the jersey in Detroit long with steve Yzerman hawchuk howe all the greats up their #28 retired here would be awesome... every game i go to at joe louis i look forward in watching you skate your a outstanding player. you will be missed..
And #28 should not go up to the rafters here. He was a good player and played a big role in winning the 2008 Stanley Cup. But this is Detroit only the some of the greatest players of all time get their numbers retired here. In the last 20 years only two players are worthy to get that honor. One of them is Steve Yzerman. The only number going up anytime soon is #5.
I'm not dissing Rafalski, but we have high standards here.
I wonder who they'll get too replace him... imagine if it was volchenkov, him and kronwall together; the opposition wouldn't leave the locker room lol.
Go Raffi, lol Hopefully he had the opportunity to plant seeds and witness his Christian faith to his teammates in the dressing room. Would love to see other players acknowledge God for their success!
God Bless you Rafalski, in everything that you will do I will be praying for you. You will never be alone, God will always be with you, thank you for playing for our Home Team! And hey, if you ever want to talk about the Lord I am always open and glad to ^-^ God bless you once again, Brother.
one of my personal favorites, a true character guy who played the game with poise and skill. raffi is loved in this city and he always will be, i wish him nothing but the best in whatever he decides to pursue next, and i was so happy to see him win a championship with us. god bless you, raffi, youll always be a wing to us.

Brian Rafalski is 38. What are you talking about?
And #28 should not go up to the rafters here. He was a good player and played a big role in winning the 2008 Stanley Cup. But this is Detroit only the some of the greatest players of all time get their numbers retired here. In the last 20 years only two players are worthy to get that honor. One of them is Steve Yzerman.

All the God talk is creepy, but I wish he hadn't retired. Jonathan Ericsson as a top 4 dman on the Wings is just downright depressing.
