20 NHL Seasons, 4 Stanley Cups, 7 Norris Trophies, 2002 Conn Smythe Trophy Winner (Playoff MVP), and has never missed the playoffs. Certainly a Hall of Fame career.
A play that I wish was included: 1997 playoffs vs Colorado, round 3, Game 2. The puck gets by Vernon and is going in the net but Lidstrom has his stick there to swat it away. Wings win that game, win the series in 6 and go on to win their first cup in 42 years. Also, you shouldn't have stretched the picture on the older non HD clips, those should have been left in their 4:3 ratio.
Well, that's going to be apain in the ass to write unless you're from Scandinavia. We're only ones, as far as I know, who have ÅÄÖ in the alphabet. I know the Germans have Ö sometimes but, not much more than that.
You'll have a hard time finding any European defensemen with a career much like Lidströms. A great leader for the wings, and a great father. He truly is Mr.Perfect!
Lidstrom was the most skilled and arguably best overall defenceman of all time! Bobby Orr was a trailblazer, but this guy took the game to another level and consistently put up stats to back my argument.
People who think Bobby Orr is a better defense man than Lidstrom are insane. Orr played against nobody good, played for only like 9 years, and was essentially just a forward who was labeled as D on the lineup sheet.

Why surprised? Being the best to ever do it, it's gonna take a while to show his best moments.
Great movie, shame you missed his golden goal in the 06 olympics.
The fact that this ends with Welcome Home is beautiful
why everybody hates crosby?
I really liked this until the end. Does Crosby have to be in everything?
What's the song that play with the end clip?
welcome home by coheed and cambria

What a Legend!
He's just pure class!
I miss him!!!
2011
Detroit legend. Sickening that Crosby was added to the end of the video.
Because putting two dots on top of the o to form an ö is just too much work for an American?
Crosby shouldnt be in this video
It's lidström not lidstrom

Lol i know 🙂
That winter classic game at the end with Crosby is when he got a concussion lol
Anyone here who can find lidstrom number ceremony?
One of his sons is in my class 🙂
Top 5 defenceman of all time.
That little dick Bettman should have tossed the Stanley Cup on the ice from the dressing room
2:00 WTF
It's funny how red wings won the playoffs in 2008 vs pens and in 2009 pens vs red wings in the stanly cup finals and pens won it
What a fuckin shame at 7:40!
"Nicklas LiNdstrom"… if you are a presenter at such an event, the least you can do is to know a little bit about the big players in business. ARGH!!
the new trainer for the Wings ??

Just had his Hall of Fame induction the other day
Who did he pass off the cup to
I never thought the transition from the almighty Steve Yzerman would be smooth but this swede was born to lead.
#nicklidstrom solicited me for sex when i was 13 at #noviicearena #novi
hes sister is my teacher
"European born" – Sigh Europe is a continent. Lidström is from Sweden. We're a nation.
The best there was.. The best there is…and the best there will ever be…
2:30, shot it so hard that it scared me
one of my idols and heroes with zetterberg

Lidstrom should have won one more Norris Trophy. They gave it to Chris Pronger because Lidstrom was "fortunate to play with Larry Murphy".
We had Orr, then Lidstrom. It's the Hughes era now.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!!!! Lidstrom was a snoozefest. Overrated.
ONE OF MY IDOLS
Lindstrom smh. And from a Canadian none the less
Shame it couldnt say "Lidström" as his real last name, not Lidström when they engraved in the name
As a lifelong Wings fan, I miss this guy. Lidstrom was just so consistent, so determined and just so damn good! Thanks for the memories #5!
When the guy has such an insane career that you forget to put his Conn Smythe in his highlights
the "Lidstrom Slapper"…. 85-90 mph, never more than about 8" off the ice and it never seems to dip.. it's like a UFO. LOL
VÄSTERÅS LEGEND!
