LIDSTROM MAY BE THE NHL'S PERFECT PLAYER
Dan Rosen writes on NHL.com, "For 15½ NHL seasons, the rest of the League has marveled at the specimen that is Nicklas Lidstrom. He's a three-time Stanley Cup champion, an Olympic gold medal winner, the only European to ever win the Conn Smythe Trophy, and a five-time Norris Trophy winner. He even was given the nickname "Norris" by a member of the Red Wings' training staff." |
HOCKEYTOWN'S IRONMAN
David Goricki writes in the Detroit News, "Nicklas Lidstrom seems to always be one giant stride ahead of the competition. Lidstrom, now in his 16th season as a Red Wings defenseman, is as good as ever at age 37. Some NHL analysts believe he is well on his way to his sixth Norris Trophy, annually given to the league's best defensemen. Lidstrom's durability is second to none. He has played in more games than any other player in the league since joining the Red Wings in 1991-92. The knowledge that Lidstrom always will be in the lineup is a comfort to his teammates." |
