I guess he's never heard of Bobby Orr.

Bobby Orr? I would contend that Lidstrom isn't even the best defenseman right now, let alone all time. Pronger, Neidermeyer, and Lidstrom are CLEARLY the top 3 ELITE d-men in hockey. That alone should be enough acclaim. For Healey to go one step further and start calling him the greatest ever.....
hock: :roll: :roll:
Lidstrom is most definitely one of the very top defensemen of his generation, but no way is he the best of alltime.
That's gotta be a tough result to take for the Red Wings, they dominated virtually all of regulation & overtime...but to have Niedermayer tie it up in the dying seconds & then Teemu win it in OT, that's gotta sting.

Yeah that's a little ridiculous, but I would say he is one of the best ever, you can't argue with 4 norris trophies.
Crud.
Oh well. Great season none the less. Don't really care you wins it now, just hope for watchable games.

I know Edmonton loves hating Pronger, but somehow Lidstrom stole a Norris Trophy from him last season...Pronger definitely deserved it.
he may have deserved it, but i`m glad he never got it

I agree.
Huh?
cratch:
Lidstrom deserved the Norris last year. He clearly was the best D-man in the 05-06 season.. Zubov and Niedermayer were better than Pronger as well.
heres hoping the nhl gets rid of these stupid afternoon games after the bs with nbc yesterday. i can only speak for myself, but my interest in playoff hockey fades away drastically when i`m forced to decide to watch a hockey game at 1 in the afternoon or spend the time outside on a nice sunny day.
especially when your team ain't in lol! i know...it ain't right...even with basketball, it just ain't right...

Dream world?
Lidstrom led all defensemen in scoring (16 goals, 64 assists), was 3rd overall in ice time per game, was a +21, and was one of the few players in the league to average more than five minutes of power-play and six minutes of shorthanded time per game. Not to mention he was a major component in his team finishing 1st place overall.
And your case for Pronger winning it? Besides the Oilers finishing 14th place overall...
