Who is your favorite Red Wing?

[Automattic]

Just curious. You don't really have to like them, maybe it's just out of respect.

(and don't say Eric$$on because he turns the puck over to you.)

Used to be a Wings hater, but that has subsided, I'd have to go Lidstrom. Seeing as how I never saw Orr play, he is the best defenseman I've ever watched (And that's saying something considering I watched Stevens and Nieds for over a decade).

Side note, Lidstrom, and Swedish players in general, speak English unbelievably well. Very little accent compared to their European counterparts. Weird.

lol Ironically, I had a similar hate for the Devils that has since subsided. It took a couple cups, but I'm over it.

Except for Holmstrom. Even the other Swedes make fun of his accent. To make matters worse, even Datsyuk can't understand him.

All-time: Gordie Howe/Steve Yzerman (it truly is a toss-up)
Currently: Darren Helm

All time-Stevie Y (2nd all time behind Mario, plus we share a name...)

Current-Dats, phenomenal talent

I like Dats, but he kills the Flames too frequently...Likewise Lids.

 

[puckhead]

all time: Stevie Y, Probert
now: Zetterberg. reminds me of Thomas Gradin - just quietly a star.

 

[mattola]

Yzerman
Lidstrom (would have been Osgood if he was still playing)

 

[Slimpikins]

All time: Fedorov when Bowman forced him to play a well rounded game he was awesome.

Current: Datsyuk. Not only is he a great talent, he has a great temperment and seems like a class act.

He's my favourite North Star.

 

[rares]

Too many current ones to list? Hah!

Datsyuk, Lidstrom, Zetterberg, in no particular order. They're all studs.

Most disliked (as in "I think he's a worthless POS") is Bertuzzi for me... not to be confused with "I hate that guy, he's such a pest and kills my team, but I respect how he plays the game", which would be Homer.

 

[The Soggy one]

all time - yzerman

right now - dats, cleary, kronwall

 

[sherbert1421]

homer calls it swinglish

 

[dare2be]

Helm.

 

[buffhockey]

That Pavel guy is fun to watch and makes it seem so easy.

Applebutter, no, Abdicator, no...


You know who I mean.
