Sorry Bobby Orr fans, I know he didn't change the game - but that's why Lidstrom is the best ever... He didn't have that advantage. He also played at the same level forever.

Being a Swedish hockey fan of the NHL and KNL. He is the best of all time in the d man area. He had what 7 noris and 4 cups.
