Nik the Stick beat him out of the corner for a lovely redirection into the net. Borschevsky was suppose to be covered by Lidstrom, but Lidstrom misses the check. In the words of Harry Neale, "Lidstrom has to take him". Perhaps Lidstrom's only blemish in his career.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-32032650758742414842012-06-04T11:15:30.985-04:002012-06-04T11:15:30.985-04:00Woah Derick, you almost sound like a Leafs fan wit...Woah Derick, you almost sound like a Leafs fan with that crazy talk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-4284821457323859992012-06-03T19:28:30.112-04:002012-06-03T19:28:30.112-04:00Your a Shark fan and Ya hate The Wings??!?!All You...Your a Shark fan and Ya hate The Wings??!?!All Your team has ever tried to do was be The Wings!!Just ask Your coach!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044397874675129844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-34532840320087044102012-06-03T13:01:56.334-04:002012-06-03T13:01:56.334-04:00last line could not be more truelast line could not be more trueNiknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-83294526076800061242012-06-03T12:49:48.847-04:002012-06-03T12:49:48.847-04:00Brilliant, DGB.

I was three years old when Lidstrom debuted, and I literally cannot picture the Wings without him. He's been part of the fabric of my life as a hockey fan from the very beginning. And what a player to grow up watching!
