Wings’ Lidstrom Flirts With Perfection

“It’s the way he sees the game,” said Anders Hedberg, the New York Rangers’ head pro scout in Europe and a former general manager of Team Sweden. “Have you ever seen him be in a rush? Did you ever see Wayne Gretzky be in a rush? Those are Einsteins. The rest of us, it’s like a bunch of ants running around on the ice, and it’s so damn fast. Their minds are up in the press box. They see everything, know everything, well in advance of everybody else. That’s Lidstrom and Gretzky.

Pretty great article. As Red Wings fans, I think we sometimes take it for granted just how damn great Lidstrom is. In the way I revered Steve Yzerman and couldn't fathom him NOT playing, I feel the exact same about Lidstrom. It will be a sad day when he hangs up the skates, but until then, we have to enjoy every moment of his brilliance.

I've never taken Nick for granted... I dread the day he steps down, too. In the meanwhile, how lucky we've been to have him as a Red Wing. Personally, I think he's more special than Gretzky ever dreamed of being, and so was Stevie Y. I might be a bit biased, though. :P
