- Putting up the full NHL 36 done on Nicklas Lidstrom in honor of his retirement. Nick, you have been a rock and staple for the Detroit Red Wings and hockey the world around for your 20 years. History will see you as the greatest defense-man of all time and one of the greatest players to grace the sport. Thank you for all the fantastic work and effort you put into every aspect of your game, both on and off the ice. The Red Wings, hockey, and the sporting world will not be the same without you. I wish you all the best in your retirement and hope to see you around the Red Wings offices. Note, I did not make nor do I own anything contained in this video. All rights belong the NHL and the NHL network.

Best defenseman in NHL history.
That would be Bobby Orr, but I agree Lidstrom is up there.
Sylhfer I'd put it this way. Orr is the greatest offensive defenseman and Lidstrom is the greatest defensive defenseman.
Isnt Nicklas considered an offensive dman? Lol idk I could be wrong. He's a saint and my hero though
MrJuiceboxhero Perhaps, but not compared to Orr. Orr was nearly just another forward.
MrJuiceboxhero Yes and No. Lidstrom for the most part was an Offensive guy but what made him so special and what got him id say at least 40% of his assists in his career was his initial D-zone outlets passes. Passing is offensive but not when you are turning defense into offense. Lid was second to none at finding the first pass.
Just glad I got to watch him play so many times for so long. It wasn't flashy, it was just non-stop positional perfection.
Hawks fan, but utmost respect for this magnificent player, the absolute embodiment of skill, work ethic, class, leadership.
What a wonderful man, husband, father, leader, the world could us more like Nick! Thank you for the years here in Michigan you were always an example to aspire to!
He was soooooo good and an even better man. Miss ya Nick. He’s what stars are supposed to be
Smartest player our sport as seen. Pure genius! Mr Control
I miss you, Lidstrom. You and Datsyuk. My fav players of all time.
Im not a Detroit fan and I'm a die hard Sabres fan but one thing that I can say is that this man is in a league of his own as far as a player, human being and a parent. He will without a doubt be missed not only by red wings fans but by all of us NHL fans. I own 3 authentic Ryan Miller Jerseys and if I was gonna pay any money for another one there is without a question that #5 C will be it. Niklaus Lidsrtom you will be missed and you earned a future hall of fame trip.
This man has class. He will be remembered as one of the greatest hockey players of all time!
Class act from a classy organization,
The thing I loved about watching Nick kind of sums up my love for hockey and the hockey community, even in the intensity of the NHL. Every time you see someone press him in his zone, even if they had a charging start or could possibly make a huge hit on him, they'd always back off a little bit. I think it was not only the knowledge that he was a great defenseman who could use other's momentum against them and probably either take the hit and make a play, but just out of respect for who he was, no one would take cheap hits on him or just hit him for the sake of making a hit. It was really cool to watch and I was definitely blessed to grow up in Detroit seeing a role model work so hard and make it look so easy
It’s unfortunate they never showed Peter Forsberg the same respect.
You had one of, if not the arguably best hockey hockey player ever end his career early due to injuries.
The Avs - Wings rivalry was a huge part of my youth and Lidstrom and Forsbergs were the best part of it.
Entering the locker room at JLA is amazing. All the legends and Stanley Cups, Detroit Red Wings are an elite franchise with the history and tradition.
Still had Pavel Datsyuk on the team before he went back to Russia.
On a side note, I was at the game in Dallas on the second half of this back to back. As a wings fan, I’ve been spoiled for most of my life (40 years old right now).
I love how humble he is. When you think of a player like him, you'd think he's got a huge ego. But he doesn't and that's what I love most about him. He takes time to actually meet fans, always a team player, never wants the glory all to himself. I'm glad he was with Detroit, and I got to see him play. Happy retirement Lidstrom!
The best of all times, just the dedication he puts in everything he does and how much a great person(extremely) makes him one of the best players of all times, the best d-men of all times and the most respected player(when he played).
Thank you for posting this. Nick Lidstom was the epitome of class, talent, leadership, humility, grace and performance in a professional athlete. Name another - in any sport - who accomplished so much in such a dignified manner, i.e., garnering 100% respect and admiration throughout his/her league, for 20 years.
I've seen 90% of the Red Wings games for the past 20 years. It's tough to see them all go.
Du är den bästa svenska backen någonsin, jävla legend är du. Du kommer saknas stort i Detroit
Wonderful post, so thanks.
It left me with a dry mouth.
Lidstrom will go down as one of the all-time greats as a hockey player as well as being a
superb human being; not a bad combination, eh.
Legends never die, they just fade away.
Peter Coyote is such an awesome narrator. Prohibition, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, The Roosevelts, and this.
A very complete player
Detroit Red Wings, The Swedish Powered NHL Team
Hey, the Wings go and get talent. Thanks for letting me grow up watching Swedish Superstars.
no words can sum up how great of a player nick is. i will miss him . thank you Nicklas Lidstrom 5, you truely are the perfect man and the greatest hockey player to ever play the game.
One of the greatest players ever to draw breath... damn near perfect
This guy is pure class! Coming from a habs fan.
U can't tell he's Swedish his English is great
20 years do that.
what an awesome guy
Big time Sharks fan here. For the record: Nick Lindstrom was the best. Great Hockey player but following the 36 hours, he seems to be even a better human being. Also being a beer league defensive hockey player, I strive to play the game like him (at least in my mind lol) I think its long over due for me to add a Lindstrom sweater to my closet.
who is nick lindstrom? It's Lidstrom you stupid fuck
Who the fuck are you? Go piss off idiot.
fuck you
I have a PhD in English and Literature. Plus I know how to spell Lidstrom.
You really cant judge my vocabulary or lack there of based on one sentence. You may find this interesting

Sorry to hear his retirement
There is no person in the world who would ever dislike this video on purpose must have been a few accidents. This video needs to be shown in every school at an early age.
The 8-1 pens lightning game at the bottom was part of the James Neal NHL 36
I 100% agree. it's pretty fucking amazing what he has accomplished. I hope he gets involved in Hockey here in Sweden as a coach or GM or something.
I am a big fan of you
what a legend. detroit was really lucky to have him all this time
100,000 views. Awesome.
You will be missed on the ice. Captain.
Stephen Sajewski? From Erie, PA? That I went to school with?
I'm going to have to agree with douhuo34 here. haha. But let's remember to keep the comments friendly here. This video has nothing to do with who's the best team. It's just a great showcase on a great player.
best defender of his era
Lidstrom my boy
Of course Homer had a pickup truck. :)
Hearing people talk about Nick makes me choke up, I'm still in denial...
Gretzky, Yzerman, etc. lol
I love Lidstrom too
BTW, has Lindstrom ever been involved in a fight or delivered a cheap shot once? I've been watching hockey for the past 20 years and I can't even think of a single occurrence.
very nice 760Li
Jesus he was a god on the ice
haha pavel was like o shits its camera
luxury life top class
Just wondering if he speaks swedish to Holmström and his family when there aren't cameras around. Would be logical since they are swedish or have they adapted or ''become'' Americans and speak english as their mother's tongue.
Think we can get 100K views for Lidstrom?
I think the Wings leaving Joe Louis Arena something that took them further from winning.
Orr, Orr, Orr. Be serious. Orr was great in how far the game had gotten back then, but he isn’t even close to being as complete as Lidstrom. Lidstrom is the best defenseman ever and anyone disputing that is either reluctant to admit that a European player is the best, or simply doesn’t understand hockey.
Orr is the Godfather of defense and Lidstrom is the God of defense.
4:23 I go to that restaurant!
damn he's got a big ass house...
10 hawks or pens fans disliked this omg
11:46, look at the tampa penguins final score at the bottom
nhl grat hokey prsin is james neal
Haha. Yeah man.
red wings
Lidstrom=Legand
Hell no dude
What?
everyone should eat oatmeal in the morning
Detroit went from elite of the elite to bottom of the barrel
no dislikes
I love Lidstrom and I enjoyed watching this, but it feels so 60 minutes/48 hours like it is kind of creepy...
When I originally clicked this link, I thought it was a parody of the EA Sports NHL franchise, set decades in the future. Not disappointed by what it really turned out to be though. hah
Lunch with Homer @ 12:25 pm lol
5. Nick Lidstrom 4. Larry Robinson 3. Ray Bourque 2. Bobby Orr 1. Scott Niedermayer.
You know nothing about hockey. Not even a mention of Doug Harvey
+Nate that's out of bias, not ignorance. I fucking hate the rangers.
Oh lord, Nierdmayer would be top 10 but nowhere near 1
Again, this is out of Bias. Scott Niedermayer was/is MY favorite hockey player and I watched him turn my favorite team into champions. So yes, Scott is #1 in my book.
Somebody just had to special and dislike this. That's ridiculous.
biggest part of the biggest hockey dynatsy in mordern times
6:02 Pre game includes Babcock making sure he pencils ✏️ in the nightly healthy scratch of (D) Mike commodore...
3 dislikes? Something's not right..
He tried to say that a great hockey player in the NHL is James Neal lmao.
?
:')
God's greatest creation, was Nicklas Lidstrom.
I'd love to be friends with his son. We could be awesome buds.
DETROITTT
This guy was the ibrahimovic of the NHL
Not at all! Swedish classy hockey defenseman and swedish pretentious football striker. 2 different worlds
cause he got a big ass wallet
no accent what so ever
Why is he speaking English with his own kids? ;)
(Yeah, I know, it's on camera ...)
Actually, he was speaking swedish in the beginning og the video to them when he packed the lunch. Then i guess the production told him to speak english infront of the camera.
He probably didn't speak English with Holmström usually either. A production decision I guess.
Oh hey look - it's the league's most awful coach! No, never mind. Not any more.
