Hoss Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Kind of an in-your-face response, but he's not overstating it. Lidstrom was the balls. With SEVEN Norris trophies, he was a generational talent, like Ray Bourque before him (5x Norris), Bobby Orr before that (8x Norris), Doug Harvey before that (7x Norris), and Eddie Shore before that (4x Hart, before Norris trophy existed). Easily one of the top ten defensemen of all time. My favorite part: He's not an ######. He's a purely class act 100% of time. Always. Yea, he really was a genuinely good guy. Only part of seeing Detroit win that satisfied me. If Hasek would've won the cup in Buffalo, I would've wanted his number retired the day he retired. I know I said multiple cups earlier, but if you're a franchise/city that has never won anything there's a slightly "lower standard." If you don't win a championship then you can wait.

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'm pretty sure that's because he's messed in the head. He knows if he plays again it could be enders for him. Thanks Abdelkader. :censored: He's wearing a 12" tie and camos......how much worse can it get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trettioåtta Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Man I love Lidstrom. His play on the ice was so understated as well. Never that flashy, just pure effectiveness. I can't wait for him to make the HOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Combined regular season and playoffs he was an amazing +511. And the crazy part is that I wod have expected that number to be even higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) not sure where this belongs - maybe nowhere - but i found ehrhoff's tweet in support of his countryman so ... strange. All the Best to my Team-Germany-Teammate Constantin Braun, taking off time from hockey to battle depression! #wishyouthestrengthyouneed https://twitter.com/TheRealHoff10/status/363363596736425984 in no way do i intend to make light of braun's depression. but the fact that ehrhoff just called it out like that, without any euphemism, struck me as, well, weird. maybe it's a cultural thing. or maybe i'm behind the times in how depression and other mental illnesses get discussed in public forums. EDIT: looking at it again, i think the exclamation point played a role in my WTF reaction. Edited August 2, 2013 by That Aud Smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Image from Henrik Lundqvist comparing last years vs this years pad. While it is slightly shorter it seems like it may get wider at a lower spot. If this is true, rather than just an optical thing, it may be more difficult to score if a goalie doesn't drop down.

Looks like they're just shorter to me. I'll try to find out more when NHL spec pads start coming out for regular players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 They look wider to me, but I can't tell if it's just the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 They look wider to me, but I can't tell if it's just the picture. The league made them narrower coming out of the 04 lockout so I can't imagine they'd go back on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdyehs Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hey guys, i officially announce that I am no longer a Sabers Fan. Life too short and I don't live in Buffalo so why should I endure more of this mess? I will convert myself and root for a real cup contender team, I thought about Philadelphia Flyers. They have a very powerful playoffs team, if goaltenders and defense can be just ok I think they have serious chances to win the Stanley cup. Right now I think Flyers, Boston and Penguins are surely the teams to watch in the east. Have a nice offseason and enjoy the rebuild. I might come back sometimes, and if 2-5 years from now Sabers are back and serious contenders I might bandwagon the team again. Buffalo have wonderful fans really. You guys are very amazing... but your teams sux.... big time... like holy sh**. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
