55fan 5,133 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 Kronwall What a man. I'm glad he got it. He's always done well in interviews and I've heard he is taking on more of a leadership role in the locker room. Great fit with the other fellows as well. Congrats, Nik! 2 Vladifan and Red Wings Addict reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmamolo 287 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 I think he was the best choice to take on an 'A' this year. Plus, he's just awesome anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 One of my favorite Kronwall moments: "Did you see what he did to Dany Heatley? ... I just wish I was lined up against Kronwall." -Ryane Clowe Later on in that series... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weFx9DMiros And actually, earlier on in the year... Can't wait for the next one! 7 hooon, Din758, Bramsy and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 Good choice. He's very articulate, and is easy to understand (not a knock against Datsyuk). And he's really stepped up his game and on-ice leadership. Hopefully he thrives with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 13GoWings40 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 Kronwall is a good choice. This makes me think the Wings brass really has confidence in number #55 becoming the leader of the blue-line after the day of which we won't speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 The fact that he is rotating with Dats, while Z has a full time "A" leads to this, post Lidstrom: C - Zetterberg A - Datsyuk A - Kronwall 1 CenterIce reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esteef 2,679 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 This is why I like Miller, he knows half the guys in this scrum are ******* and he's not letting them get any free gloves to the face. esteef 1 Bramsy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 Congratulations to Lil' Nik. Of course I still want to believe that he wears the 'A' as the designated Annihilator. 3 Hockeymom1960, Tim.D and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 That was the assumption around here when Lidstrom got the C. Agreed. But there has been some lingering debate on Z vs D for the C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bambino Lino 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2011 I dig Kronwall getting the A. Hopefully he continues to be a physical leader on this team while being productive on defence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
