More then a legend, he was an institution.

Between Budd Lynch, Bruce Martyn, Syd Abel and to a lesser degree, Larry Adderly and Ray Lane- these were the voices of Red Wings hockey to me.

There was no one that could tell the Joe Louis crowd that there was one minute left in a period like Budd. He had seen it all with this team and was an institution around the JLA.

When and if hockey gets back into circulation, Budd Lynch deserves more than just a patch on the players' jerseys, a moment of silence and a plaque in his honor. What he gave to this team was a sense of dignity, history, and something that newer hockey teams just haven't earned yet- a touch of class.

He will be missed.
