Nik Lidstrom. My favorite player of all time. I went to a bunch of Detroit games when they would come into town. Literally the perfect player every time he hit the ice. Dude would just calmly take the puck away from the opposition and calmly make a perfect pass up the ice. Over and over, year after year. Was very rarely his fault if his unit got scored on. Almost always involved in some way if his unit did score. He was a treat to watch.
And of course Iggy in his prime. Nothing like seeing him get popped on home ice, only to get up, take off his helmet and beat someone's ass. Nothing ever got the 'dome pumping like an Iggy fight. Icing on the cake when he would often score the same game.
