you sir, must not be impressed by much.
Thats a lie, Lidstrom had me impressed all the time. Sorry not sorry but I never felt a need to watch a game because Z was playing.
you sir, must not be impressed by much.
Lidstrom was a generational talent. He read plays before they were even started. He knew what you were going to do before you did. Look at his offensive numbers and realize he was defensive defenseman. He was "chipping in" on offense when he could. He was an incredible player.
Zetterberg was a really good player
It's incredible what a heads up player he was. It's how he almost never got hit in spite of everyone targeting him.Lidstrom was on another level. The guy won a Norris in his 40s.
I still say he was the greatest defensemen to ever play the game. The offensive mindset, the amount of minutes, and the quality of competition he shut down every game. Truly unreal.
Agreed. And I think Z's playoff performances are underrated.I still think peak Zetterberg (07-08) was better than peak Datsyuk.... datsyuk sustained a higher level of play though
Lidstrom without a second thought. Z might be number 5 on my favorite wings I've watched list. Might.
Darren McCarty. Haven't won a cup without him on the roster dating back to 1955.

Selfishly I wish he played until he was Chelios’ age and we all know he could have done it. But I respect his reasons once you’re not the best of the best it’s hard to lower your own standards. Still, the guy would’ve been a top 4dman for at least another 5 seasons with that genius hockey IQ. Would’ve loved to have him in that Chicago series. Z was done, battered, and broken. I would’ve liked to see him hit 1000pts but it is what it is. He earned the right to retire with the pain he endured. To answer the question I miss Stevie the most.Lidstrom could come back right now and be our best defenseman.
So, him.
