egroen 384 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Lidstrom looked like he was 25 again out there last night... Playing with a lot of confidence and jumping up into plays. 17 pts and a +13 in his last 15 games. Outstanding! He's even finding the back of the net with 4 goals in the past 7 games. What really impresses me is that while Detroit has been outscored at even strength (GF: 84 GA: 91), his +/- is amongst the best in the NHL at +19. Not bad for a guy who turns 40 this year!

The Secret 304 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 I really don't understand how anyone could ever say anything bad about Lidstrom... ever! We've been spoiled watching the greatest Captain ever in Stevie Yzerman and equally spoiled by the greatest Defensemen to ever play the game. Shame on those calling for him to be traded or let go because his offensive numbers aren't as ridiculous as normal... Lids on his worst day is still better then 70% of the Dmen out there are their best day! Atta boy Nick, keep showing them how its done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank Dats 'N Homer 81 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 Lidstrom has been a second half player his whole career. He's turning it on now. Shouldnt be much of a suprise, and as a wings fan you shouldnt expect anything less. Hopefully he ca get Datsyuk and Zetterberg going and when the injured players come back we can make a run down the stretch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 I knew he was going to be able to turn it around, but I wouldn't blame the people that were harping on him he had 1 goal for a long long time, and that's just not acceptable considering how good we know he can be. Hopefully his elbow is getting better and he can stay healthy down the stretch we need his production now more then ever before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theophany 110 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 GUYS LIDSTROM ISNT WORTH HIS SALARY AND SHOULD BE TRADED BEFORE THE DEADLINE AND SHOULD RETIRE AT THE END OF THE SEASON THE GUY IS REALLY BAD. I love everyone that ever doubted Lidstrom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egroen 384 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 How does the QCMP stat work? The higher it is, the tougher the competition? Yup. Aparently playing in the east this year gets you a boost in that area (can't believe how high Ottawa's is). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 How does the QCMP stat work? The higher it is, the tougher the competition? It is the average On/Off-Ice +/- of the opposing players a player faces. For example, if you lined up against Anaheim's top line, you'd get: blah blah blah The higher it is, the tougher, yeah. And if you want to know, On/Off-Ice +/- is It's the difference between the team's plus/minus rate when a player is on the ice and when he's off the ice.

Redwings85 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 I've never doubted Lids ever. He knows what he is doing. on a plus note does this mean his injured elbow is better? Sure he wasnt doing it offensively at the beginning... but usually his style is more of the defensive side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeff48109 474 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) even when he wasnt getting points, his work on the defensive end was amazing. to be at a +18 rating despite the team struggling to score is amazing. we've been fortunate to have him at our back end all these years, it makes me sad to think he could be calling it quits soon Edited January 30, 2010 by jeff48109 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
