A list of the top 10 players in the NHL from the 2000s written by Yahoo! Sports Greg Wyshynski. Detroit Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom tops the list edging out New Jersey Devils Martin Brodeur. Here’s a quick peek at what he said about Lidstrom…
Simply put, he was the total package. An offensive player who tallied 574 points, his four best point-scoring seasons all coming in the 2000s. A defensive player who was a plus-232 for the decade, frequently logging more than 28 minutes a night for the Wings. A leader who won the Conn Smythe for the Wings’ 2001-02 Stanley Cup champions, and who then captained a second Detroit team to the Cup in 2007-08. And he made it look frequently effortless.
I can’t argue with that!
