Still can't bring myself to watch the conference.
Sitting at the computer. Blank stare, I really don't know what to type.
Excuse me while I continue drinking.

[/quote]
I'd say '96 is when he really started to emerge... He got a fair amount of Norris votes that year too. In '97 I think Vladdie was runner-up for the Norris and Lidstrom was 4th. I bet he still finishes Top 6 this year too.... so that's 16 years where he was amongst the top handful of players at his position in the league. There are only 3 other players that can say that - Gordie Howe, Ray Bourque and Wayne Gretzky.

Jim Rome would take Nick over Orr.
Not that the guy knows anything about hockey (or any other ESPN analyst), but just throwin' it out there. For some reason ESPN's always had our back, dating back to the Thorne days when the entire broadcast was centered around us.

A part of me is still in some fairly serious denial. "He's not retired yet. I'm just in a nightmare that I can't get out of or he has the whole city of Detroit on Punk'd."

Brodeur retiring will not impact Nick being a first ballot HHOFer at all. Nick was the best player in all of hockey the past 20 seasons and while Marty was outstanding, most people in the hockey world would agree that Nick has been the best player the past 20 years, with Marty being not too far behind.
Now I gotta make sure I get tickets to the Alumni game at the Winter Classic because I am looking very much more forward to that for the possibility of Nick Lidstrom to play one last time in front of my eyes.

Nick Lidstrom simply reeks of class and decency. We were extremely fortunate to have him on this team for two decades. Best of everything, Captain. You really were perfect.
