He was at the very least comparable to Phil Housley on offense and was far better than Housley on the defensive end. He was an integral piece of a great Calgary team who won a Stanley Cup. The only reason he only played in 4 All Star games was because the West was absolutely loaded with defensive stars in the 80's and 90's and he lost out a spot due to the rule where every team had to be represented.<br /><br />You can make a great case for him to be in the HoF.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03926694110649930343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28399377.post-37233830868146755632017-01-04T17:09:29.124-08:002017-01-04T17:09:29.124-08:00He was my favourite Flame.A great skater!He was my favourite Flame.A great skater!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28399377.post-20057807430826223972015-12-24T09:55:30.383-08:002015-12-24T09:55:30.383-08:00My dad coached Willi in Midget hockey and always s...My dad coached Willi in Midget hockey and always said that everyone misjudged his skating.

More than a third of the team is playing their first season in Dallas. Many people expected their 2011-12 season to be the worst of a series of bad years as the Hicks Sports Group bankruptcy fallout led to Brad Richards hitting the UFA market.<br /><br />I don't believe many GMs could have put together a team that has the best record in the NHL (as of early Nov.) with a coach that is new to the league and a goaltender who was once considered "injury prone" and is at the moment ranked #1... all on a very tight budget and without an owner.<br /><br />Admittedly it's very early in the season -- the Stars could slow down as the months wear on. Even if they do, Nieuwendyk has again proven that he's one of hockey's versatile geniuses, a person who truly understands what components make a team work and recognizes those talents in relatively unsung players.Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28399377.post-54450362367074832772011-09-19T16:41:14.541-07:002011-09-19T16:41:14.541-07:00Any idea which years he wore #19, and which years ...Any idea which years he wore #19, and which years he wore #26 for the Canucks?

I currently work as a Van Foreman for a moving company Highland Moving and Storage. I recently got a "tip" from a customer. This "tip" was actually a framed print of Lanny, scoring the stanely cup winning goal. It is authenticated with a offical calgary flames central receipt thing. I was wondering if there was any way that I could get ahold of lanny, to bring back some memories for him, and to get authographed my little slice of calgary flames history. If anyone has any information, or can relay this information to him, my email address is smasher62@hotmail.com any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
