Great career Nick! You have always been apart of the team I love, the Detroit Red Wings since I have been watching hockey in the early 90s as a kid. It is going to be tough without you on the ice, you're a hero to me and many other Red Wing fans. No one will ever play the game like you did, or as good. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours. I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure other Wings fans feel the same: Thank you for everything, we love you and we will miss you so much!
I'm a diehard Blackhawks fan, but I can't help but respect the hell out of Lidstrom for the player he is on the ice and the man he is off the ice. Classy, classy individual. Nothing but respect from me.....
I am a die hard CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS fan and season ticket holder in sec. 305 and as every true hawks fan I hate Detroit BUT I think NicklasLidstrom is a great hockey player and an even better person and is one of the most humble NHL players all time. Evey time he was on the ice i was scared but i will miss seeing him play. wish you the best from a HAWKS FAN
It's a sad, sad day .. Have to see this one more time, think it's my fifth or something. Lidstrom, my swedish heart salutes you, thank you for everything!
I have to say, I am a big time devils fan, but I have so much respect for Lidstrom and the Wings organization, I truly believe they are the classiest organization in the league, Lid is also one of my favorite players...along with Scotty S :P
From a Flyers fan... MUCH respect! Wings are like the Yankess but classy. Other then the Flyers, I root for one team.. The Wings. Lindstong, Zetty, and Dayrrsuk... How can anyone hate?!
lmao ima die-hard Hawks fan, i love Nicky L and the magician Datsyuk. a very respectable team, we both suffered first round exits. I hope to see a Hawks-Wings playoff series. Wouldn't that be awesome!!
Top three defenseman of all time. Missed only 44 games in 20 YEARS!! Made the playoffs every year. 1,142 career points in 1,564 games. +450 career rating and a minus player in only one year (2010-11, -2). 183 points in 263 playoff games. Four championship rings.
growing up an avs fan i could never stand detroit but have so much respect for lidstrom and the whole team - not many teams make the playoffs 20 years in a row (now a leafs fan and anyone could guess how much that sucks lolol)
THE best bro. That's something I'm so surprised us Swedes have so hard getting a grasp on. Everybody favors up-front forwards like Forsberg and Sundin before Lidström. They're giants too, no doubt, but f**k man. No one is greater than #5. And how can we totally ignore Kenta Nilssons efforts in the NHL? The same points/game as Forsberg, but with that 131p 80/81 season and 6 seasons with 90+p, how can we ignore that?
He has definetely earned the right to make his career choices from here, but I think I speak for the majority of the Red Wing Nation when I say: Please for the love of god Nick, dont leave us yet!! The heart and soul of our team, the best captain to ever lace em up! Never missed the playoffs since he was drafted-no other player in sports can say that over a 20 year span!
He can still improve and do better. Five Stanley Cups, Eight Norris Trophies and breaking a few more All Time NHL Records is possible for young Nick and should be done. This will set the benchmark for the new, up-and-coming stars. Go Red Wings!!!
Lidstrom sold his house right after he retired. Didn't even get the full asking price for it. He left Detroit as quickly as he could, apparently. He's a scout for us, but he resides in Sweden now.
I got alot of buds who are hawks fans so Id like that too, you have a good team but both hawks and wings ran into hot goalies. you're lucky to have patty kane he reminds me of datsyuk alot
it isnt through numbers hes carved his legend. its from his play on the ice! numbers or not nick lidstrom is the best d'man of his generation FACT maybe ever in my opinion. the numbers only solidify that position not gratify it.
dont think so, sakic didnt make every single year of his nhl career to playoffs did he, or win 4 stanley cups, or win 7 trophies for being best at his position for that year, and yet be so humble at the same time of doing so. no disrepect to sakic become he was a legend in his own right. but lidstrom what the greatest at his positon in his own generation hands down. maybe ever.
God we know he's old, We don't care and he doesn't care, stop reminding us. We love Lidstrom and he loves the game. Every year they remind us of the fact that he's aging, let him and us enjoy these years, stop reminding him and us Red Wings fans stupid media.

Respect from a Penguins fan! One of the greatest defensemen ever!

Wow. I mean, how can you not love this guy? One word, Legend.
Thank you so much for posting this, as a swede I cant really take part of programs like this, and thats why im so glad to be able to see it anyway!
Thanks "lidas" for everything! Much respect from Sweden. One of the best players ever from Sweden.

im a penguins fan... but lidstrom is a legend. NHL and sports for that matter need more players like him.
You are awesome. thx for posting these.
Thanks for postin these vids man!
Happy retirement Nick!
A true pioneer of the defensive game. Revolutionizing what it means to be "smart positionally.
"
Sick move by Hudler. I love him and I didn't know he could do that. Amazing Shootout goal.

to be honest i would love to see an episode on datsyuk.
that said gr8 job by nbc and thanks to the person who put up this video.
Greatest player of this decade, from a Sharks fan. Will miss seeing him play against the Sharks in the Tank.
Wait??? Hold up Mike Babcock used to be red wings head coach and Toronto Maple leafs head coach WHAT??????????????
i can tell you’re 12
lmao ima die-hard Hawks fan, i love Nicky L and the magician Datsyuk. a very respectable team, we both suffered first round exits. I hope to see a Hawks-Wings playoff series. Wouldn't that be awesome!!
16:43 I didn't realize Gordie Howe was still suitin' up for Detroit games!!
I like these kind of shows

loving the vids, keep it up
damn i got chills because he is so freaking awesome!
growing up an avs fan i could never stand detroit but have so much respect for lidstrom and the whole team - not many teams make the playoffs 20 years in a row (now a leafs fan and anyone could guess how much that sucks lolol)
as a wings fan I respect the flyers, giroux is awesome and reminds me of datsyuk and hartnell's hilarious congrats on moving on!
Anyone know the music/song title at the end of the video? Thanks!
what is the name of the song that is playing starting at 17.02?
I'd love to see Datsyuk go one on one with Lidstrom

I'm a huge Bruins fan but I have the utmost respect for the Red Wings, and more specifically Nicklas Lidstrom.
They need to do one of these with a goalie!!
Im from Finland, respect from here too :)
gotta love youtube, thanks for the post.
"how could anyone that good be that humble"
Hope Ovi's watching this.
When did he start wearing a visor?

I' from finland and I'm saying this about swedish: What a great guy!
@LJStudios3 you sure about the 22 bit seeing as it was his 28th bday today :)
Pure class.
his home is INCREDIBLE!!! Is he gonna sell that now?
can you upload Marc Staal "Begginings?"
Lidstrom: Triple Gold Club- Olympic gold, World championship, Stanley Cup
2015 Hall of Fame pick.
Because the tip of the Wings logo comes up too far for them to put the C on the right, so they moved it to the left.
He can still improve and do better. Five Stanley Cups, Eight Norris Trophies and breaking a few more All Time NHL Records is possible for young Nick and should be done. This will set the benchmark for the new, up-and-coming stars. Go Red Wings!!!
Lidstrom sold his house right after he retired. Didn't even get the full asking price for it. He left Detroit as quickly as he could, apparently. He's a scout for us, but he resides in Sweden now.
the end was awesome
Nicklas Lidstrom one of the best ever! Hands Down! Bar None!
great hockey player, even better person
i wonder what holmstrom will do, he was lidstrom's best friend for years. what will he do?
at 2:43 who uses 7.0s? why not the apx's?
Love these vids! Can someone send me the link for Toews Nhl36?!
What about Forsberg??
Did you see him giving the stick to the fan? Is there a word that's classier than class?
Damn, I wish I would've known him and Holmstrom went to the Starbucks in Northville before every game.
Legend!
I was at that Buffalo game :D
Are the red wings sponsored by warrior? you can see them wearing a lot of there products
No all NHL hockey teams have warrior bags jerseys stuff like that.
oh ok thanks
the main sponsor of NHL is Reebok.
***** *Moron
Mw3TheOriginal you can have whatever brand you want but the jerseys are reebok
total Swedish boss! And so humble
Anyone else think its just awesome that holmstrom drives a truck LOL
I just realized, why is his "C" on the wrong side? :\
great show. plz post more
shmanks
damn, anybody else not expect him to speak such good English?
hudlers goal was sick.
@MrMvp98 miller does have gray hair and hes 22
Couldn't have said it better myself!
is it just me or is from about 12 minutes on dodgy?
I was at the Buffalo game and after the game i was the kid in the blue coat when lidstrom left the arena
best movie ive ever seen
He's so humble it's humiliating to man kind.
My favorite player of all time, best defensemen ever Bobby Orr can take 2nd
Awesome!!
good job pens are great i dont like detroit but i respect the hell out of him
Legend
is i just me or does drew miller have grey hair at 16:44 ?
I am a hawks fan, but I respect Lidstrome
THREE MORE YEARS!
He is the nicest person ever
My idol
I got alot of buds who are hawks fans so Id like that too, you have a good team but both hawks and wings ran into hot goalies. you're lucky to have patty kane he reminds me of datsyuk alot
Maybe because they live in the States and they are being filmed.
Class act
that's my old school moraine elementary and the kid I go to school with sam lidstrom
it isnt through numbers hes carved his legend. its from his play on the ice! numbers or not nick lidstrom is the best d'man of his generation FACT maybe ever in my opinion. the numbers only solidify that position not gratify it.
Lidstrom should always be number one on the respect scale.
16:34 hahha commodore said in an interview he fuckin hates babcock u can see it here
dude had a fat lipper in lol i don’t think he can hear what babcock was saying just zned right out
dont think so, sakic didnt make every single year of his nhl career to playoffs did he, or win 4 stanley cups, or win 7 trophies for being best at his position for that year, and yet be so humble at the same time of doing so. no disrepect to sakic become he was a legend in his own right. but lidstrom what the greatest at his positon in his own generation hands down. maybe ever.
Haha, Holmström is never far away from a physio ;)
16:37, is that guy dippin?
Miss u lid storm
they should do one on iginla
Not sure i would quit if i were him probably loves the game too much. Maybe he's worn out. Its too bad another legend is gone.
God we know he's old, We don't care and he doesn't care, stop reminding us. We love Lidstrom and he loves the game. Every year they remind us of the fact that he's aging, let him and us enjoy these years, stop reminding him and us Red Wings fans stupid media.
16:35 packing a huge ipper, whatta beaut
his son is born in america, and english as 1st languange
The day he retires will be a sad day for hockey.
Mr. Perfect!
16:10 if going bar south like that doesn't put your tendy's confidence down before a game, than i don't know what does.
