Hall of Famer
Steve Yzerman selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame today, along with former teammates Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille. There's not much to write about the Captain that hasn't already been written, so I'll just link to one of my last posts on him. So, the only question left is whether Steve Yzerman is the greatest all-time Detroit sports hero, or is there someone (Gordie Howe? Joe Louis?) who would rank ahead of him?

"Greatest all-time" is tough words to chew on. I was always more of a Dumars guy than a "Zeke" guy.
I put it out there because I thought it would be provocative. When you take years with the team, position, and number of championships, I think he's hard to beat. But there's certainly a case to be made for some others, I just can't make it for the old-timers because I'm not as familiar with their accomplishments.
