Nicklas Lidstrom
Defensemen Nicklas Lidstrom has always been a very key player for the Wings since he joined the team in 1989. He has been called 'the most underrated player in the league' by many. In fact, his captain Stevie Yzerman once said "He's the most important player on our team." Nick is a great defenseman, and he can score goals. He had the first goal of the Stanley Cup-winning game in 1997, and he also made one of the best plays in the '97 playoffs during game 2 against colorado when he jumped in front of an open net to preserve the wings' lead. He often plays more minutes in a game than any other player on the team, and his teamates love him. He's a quiet guy, so he doesn't get much attention, but on this page he is the center of attention...
