Lidstrom

holland better be prepared to overspend for suter. whatever it takes, he needs to get him

 

[sherbert1421]

also, this means that it's almost 100% likely that holmstrom is going to retire as him and lidstrom are practically brothers. goalies and refs everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief

Personally I think he needs to overpay for Suter. I'd rather keep Babcock than overpay for a Sutter... :p

 

[higgyfan4]

I have to laugh to keep from crying...

I will be in total denial until I hear the words come out of his mouth...

This may be the only time I put something other than a bird for my avatar.

this is 10 times more depressing than yzerman retiring. i think everyone knew that yzerman's knees were shot and that he was done. but lidstrom is still in good shape and still playing at a high level

 

[higgyfan4]

I would change mine too, but I vowed not to change mine until after the 1 year date of the Lokomotiv plane crash as a tribute.

Certainly at a level three times higher than any of our current defensemen.

I think our playoff streak is on the line this year.

That's the way I'm looking at it....ain't happening (until it happens anyway)

it's on the line starting now. with the current roster right now, the wings are a borderline playoff team.

it's up to holland to make some big moves this offseason

Ok, let's not get crazy here...

Guy is probably my favorite non-Flyer, very least top five. And he is captain of my 2nd favorite team. And I think I respect him more than anyone on the Flyers. Jesus...

Babcock himself said he wasn't sure the Red Wings would make the playoffs last year. We're close.

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

End of an era for sure. Wonder who will become the new face of the Red Wings.

 

[evolver115]

What an athlete. I will miss watching Lidstrom on the ice. My favorite team playing against him for 13 games of Stanley Cup Final glory is a memory not easily forgotten. Much respect Nick.

When you bump game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals as the lead story on TSN, it tells you what kind of player and career Nick Lidstrom had...

the last time devils played in a sc final, day after game 1, Patrick Roy announced his retirement
