From Czechoslovakia, Robert Lang had a very good career in the National Hockey League, although it took him some time to really find his groove.  In his late 20s, Lang came into his own with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and in his third season there at age 30, he had an 80 Point Season.  Lang would later join Washington, where he performed well, and at one point, three-quarters of the way through the 2003/04 season, he was the leading scorer. Then he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings, marking the first time a leading scorer was traded during the season.  Lang would be injured shortly thereafter, but he would still finish the season ninth in Assists and Points.  Lang would play for Detroit another two seasons and would finish his career with a season each in Chicago, Montreal, and Phoenix.
