Remembering the Happiest Hudler
Remember when we were all happy?
This is a little late, but its well due. It's time we say goodbye to our friend Happy Hudler, who's left to go live in the pit of sadness and wasted money that is Calgary.

Gameday 31 - Red Wings
Detroit Red Wings (18-9-1) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (17-9-4)
