He'...No doubt Lidstrom is a key member of the team. He's one of the best defensemen <I>ever</I>. But no single player can account for the Red Wings record and dominance over their rivals.

If Sutter actually thinks the Wings success is predicated on Lidstrom's excellence alone, he's delusional.Kent W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15679878875910837307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-14982143919026214232008-05-30T12:34:00.000-06:002008-05-30T12:34:00.000-06:00my dad was telling me something about having read ...my dad was telling me something about having read a sutter quote outlining that he didn't believe in the redwings system... uh, <I>HUNH</I> ??? there is a reason this team has been at/near the top of the standings every season, and has a legitimate shot at the cup every year.... and if you remove liddy from the equation, i still say they're contending, albeit probably not as utterly dominant.<BR/><BR/>if the red machine wins the cup this year, i think there's a serious possibility of a lidstrom retirement.... so i guess we'll see.walkinvisiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874510508773958406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-70178650340601627772008-05-30T10:02:00.000-06:002008-05-30T10:02:00.000-06:00There was a quote from Sutter in the paper recentl...There was a quote from Sutter in the paper recently that the only real difference between the Wings and the rest of the play-off teams in the WC was...Nik Lidstrom. No mention of Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, Rafalski, Filpula. He implied, sans Lidstrom, the Wings would be in the thick of the battle with the rest of us. <BR/><BR/>Sigh.Kent W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15679878875910837307noreply@blogger.com
