Most impressive in the last three games has been the play of defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom. At 41 years old, Lidstrom is proving why he should be in the conversation as one of the greatest to ever play the game. Scoring two goals and one assist in the three victories, Lidstrom has taken control of the rink. The big three San Jose forwards (Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton and Dany Heatley) have not been much of a factor in the three games. There is no question as to why the NHL Writers Association feels that he deserves yet another Norris Trophy this season.

sp; As hated as the Red Wings are, at least the typical hockey fan has gotten used to the images of Nicklas Lidstrom, Tomas Holmstrom and Kris Draper skating around with the Cup. But the real question is, are you even going to watch it to begin with?
