George Grande was the anchor of the very first SportsCenter back in 1979, so he would have been the first one I saw as I remember watching that "historic" broadcast at work at WTTV here in Indy!!!...
Bingo!!!!!
Doinne toiled away as a prolific scorer for relatively weak teams. The 9 time 40 goal scorer's teams never made it past the second round of the playoffs.
N 1980-81 Dionne and his LA Kings were one of the most prolific scoring teams in the NHL that season. Dionne, Dave Taylor and Charlie Simmer amassed 161 goals and 191 assists. The team won 43 games that season but were bounced out of the first round of the playoff by the NY Rangers 3 games to one.
Sorry,. I usually see the replies in my email. But yours was the first one. Probably a glitch.

Robin Yount, Carl Yastremski, Rafael Palmeiro, Rod Carew, Craig Biggio and Tony Gwynn. Unfortunately, I'm drawing a blank on the other three.

Yaz???

Rafael Palmeiro and Rod Carew???
He spent most of his career with the Dead Things (as the Red Wings were known then.)
Correct on the second question(Carew and Palmero never played in a WS game. I'll allow morte time for someone to come up with the third.
The other 3000 hit members are all correct.
Very good work. There are three more.
Yaz is incorrect.
Actually Doinne spent most of his career with the LA Kings. 11 seasons plus 67 games before he was traded to the NY Rangers near the end of his career

Thanks, I can't believe it was only 4 seasons in Detroit. it really did feel like longer. They were pretty sad in those days.
I would call it very similar, especially the "Darkness with Harkness" days. Old Red Wing fans will remember those times. Very similar to the Millen Error. Don't miss them, that's for sure. The Wings have been winning for so long that one forgets those dark, cold nights at Olympia. Attendance was so bad that you could buy $2 nosebleed seats and worm your way down to seats by the ice by the end of the first period, if not sooner. Bad, bad team.
