Grind_Lines_#1_Fan 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2006 You gotta give the edge to Nick. I believe that Vladdy would have been great too, preventing his sad automobile accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzerman#19 17 Report post Posted August 27, 2006 I voted Nick, but I agree with every one who brought up Red Kelly. You can't really even do this poll topic w/o including Kelly. Especially when you consider how he reinvented himself as a center in Toronto. 19 years in the league, 4 Cups w/ the Wings, 4 Cups w/ the Leafs, 1st ever Norris trophy winner. He's at least tied w/ Lidstrom. Not only is Kelly one of the best Wings defensemen ever, he is one of the best Wings players ever. The Wings should retire his #4.

TNBT 3 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 The choices in this poll should be: Nick Lidstrom Red Kelly Reed Larson Black Jack Stewart Vladimir Konstantinov Marcel Pronovost Steve Chiasson Flash Hollett I agree completely. What is it with the polls with rediculously bad options these days? Anywho, to answer the question, my vote goes to Lidstrom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 You have to go a long way to argue it not being Nik, but I also believe we have had one of the greatest D men the world has ever seen, we didn't have him in his prime but Viacheslav Fetisov has to go down as one of the all time greats. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned him before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned him before. Because this thread is about great Wings defensemen, not great defensemen who havebeen Wings. Fetisov was never higher than third on the depth chart in Detroit, and that includes behind behind an aging Larry Murphy. If you include Fetisov, you have to include Chelios, Coffey, Gadsby, Brewer, and perhaps even Jiri Fischer and Mathieu Schneider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted September 11, 2006 That kinda throws your choice of Flash Hollett out the window then? So what is the qualifacation to this poll? Played for The Wings over 10 years, made over 500 apps? Won more than 2 rings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
