NHL 36: Nicklas Lidstrom

Okay, I am aware of the technical issues this video has, since a couple people brought it to my attention. Sorry, I have yet to watch this. I just recorded & edited for everybody else, so I wasn't aware of the problem.

[@fitemeirlfgt]

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

[@MannenssooN]

Wow. I mean, how can you not love this guy? One word, Legend.

[@swvile]

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!

[@HawksFanSC]

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.....

[@SuperHenderson13]

im a penguins fan... but lidstrom is a legend. NHL and sports for that matter need more players like him.

[@Bergeett]

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!

[@kenseth56]

Awesome player. Nick forever in our hearts

[@Haydensworld1]

You are awesome. thx for posting these.

[@blackhawkfan122295]

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

[@48Sikora]

Thanks for postin these vids man!

[@WIAS291]

Thanks "lidas" for everything! Much respect from Sweden. One of the best players ever from Sweden.

[@MOMOarabe]

what a legend . thanks for the upload

[@LoveSportsLoveLife]

Happy retirement Nick! A true pioneer of the defensive game. Revolutionizing what it means to be "smart positionally. "

[@xBOBHALOx]

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?!

[@airport9090]

Sick move by Hudler. I love him and I didn't know he could do that. Amazing Shootout goal.

[@jetswhiteout961]

I like these kind of shows

[@kobyschechter8163]

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.

[@DrakeAdam]

loving the vids, keep it up

[@carparthero]

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.

[@maxangelin33]

damn i got chills because he is so freaking awesome!

[@DecapitatedDoctor]

16:43 I didn't realize Gordie Howe was still suitin' up for Detroit games!!

[@ConfusedConfuse]

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!

[@TheOriginalSharkWithALaser]

Greatest player of this decade, from a Sharks fan. Will miss seeing him play against the Sharks in the Tank.

[@Niaar19]

Pure class.

[@XxHoCkEyGoAliExX]

They need to do one of these with a goalie!!

[@zapeks889]

Detroit red wings, popular back here in Sweden since "we" have 7 swedes in the team! Fortsätt så Nicklas!

[@MrHallofFameHBK1]

I'd love to see Datsyuk go one on one with Lidstrom

[@poodtang1]

"how could anyone that good be that humble" Hope Ovi's watching this.

[@RALPHDAVIDTHORNELL]

Legend!

[@SekoFilms]

Im from Finland, respect from here too :)

[@Cespo921]

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

[@ink1001]

I' from finland and I'm saying this about swedish: What a great guy!

[@phirephoenix270]

the end was awesome

[@mikegualjr]

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)

[@MarcusYap]

Legend

[@MrPuzik]

great hockey player, even better person

[@ysb362]

Awesome!!

[@BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS]

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!!

[@BudaPond101]

gotta love youtube, thanks for the post.

[@FatalxEmbrace]

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.

[@haigplague]

total Swedish boss! And so humble

[@KalleEricson]

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?

[@Pavel13Datsyuk101]

as a wings fan I respect the flyers, giroux is awesome and reminds me of datsyuk and hartnell's hilarious congrats on moving on!

[@paidaily]

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!!!

[@xxED36xx]

Class act

[@DJiNstncT]

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!

[@Dashooter911]

damn, anybody else not expect him to speak such good English?

[@mandylyn713]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@arkansaswookie]

Lidstrom: Triple Gold Club- Olympic gold, World championship, Stanley Cup 2015 Hall of Fame pick.

[@shadowfire288]

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.

[@TheBoon14]

hudlers goal was sick.

[@oopopp]

his home is INCREDIBLE!!! Is he gonna sell that now?

[@ManOfRod97]

My idol

[@WarriorSnipes18]

I was at that Buffalo game :D

[@APfershizzle]

best movie ive ever seen

[@Friskenn]

THREE MORE YEARS!

[@evansiemasz9054]

My favorite player of all time, best defensemen ever Bobby Orr can take 2nd

[@darh66]

what is the name of the song that is playing starting at 17.02?

[@billbanks8828]

Anyone know the music/song title at the end of the video? Thanks!

[@TheAucoin]

I'm a huge Bruins fan but I have the utmost respect for the Red Wings, and more specifically Nicklas Lidstrom.

[@magnus5902]

great show. plz post more shmanks

[@Trancelisk]

Anyone else think its just awesome that holmstrom drives a truck LOL

[@tiger101757]

Damn, I wish I would've known him and Holmstrom went to the Starbucks in Northville before every game.

[@9999JeffHardy]

I was at the Buffalo game and after the game i was the kid in the blue coat when lidstrom left the arena

[@redwings90]

Nicklas Lidstrom one of the best ever! Hands Down! Bar None!

[@kiker0909]

He's so humble it's humiliating to man kind.

[@jaaaybs1988]

@LJStudios3 you sure about the 22 bit seeing as it was his 28th bday today :)

[@tammysupermomsaxida]

Wait??? Hold up Mike Babcock used to be red wings head coach and Toronto Maple leafs head coach WHAT??????????????

[@jacob1423]

i can tell you’re 12

[@causeilovehockey2718]

can you upload Marc Staal "Begginings?"

[@jaaaybs1988]

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.

[@PeteForsberg21]

Nicklas är kung! vilken kille alltså!

[@bbgunlover909]

good job pens are great i dont like detroit but i respect the hell out of him

[@jaaaybs1988]

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.

[@jockejocke1]

When did he start wearing a visor?

[@hsaifee52]

Did you see him giving the stick to the fan? Is there a word that's classier than class?

[@Defianceee]

Love these vids! Can someone send me the link for Toews Nhl36?!

[@gomezlover101]

He is the nicest person ever

[@melletygarnam6586]

NICE

[@yellowbanaana]

The day he retires will be a sad day for hockey.

[@Pavel13Datsyuk101]

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

[@Link9mm]

Lidstrom should always be number one on the respect scale.

[@hawksleafs483]

I am a hawks fan, but I respect Lidstrome

[@Rooaal]

Haha, Holmström is never far away from a physio ;)

[@kavanjotdhadwal3392]

Miss u lid storm

[@JIGGYJAY420]

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.

[@waitwho19]

i wonder what holmstrom will do, he was lidstrom's best friend for years. what will he do?

[@JohnSmith-cy9tt]

Teach him Swedish bro.....one day i regret that and you will be back in Sweden

[@hockeymaster306]

at 2:43 who uses 7.0s? why not the apx's?

[@tcrusader]

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.

[@MrTMo15]

sorry babcock but if you asked that while sakic was in the league, that lindstrom came second on the respect scale

[@Crispsimon10]

Proud to be Swedish!

[@snoppjonte]

Mr. Perfect!

[@FatalxEmbrace]

I don't think so. I think he just really wanted to go back home and be with family.

[@shadowfire288]

Well, our left. His right.

[@Tniggz]

What about Forsberg??

[@Dimitri45648]

that's my old school moraine elementary and the kid I go to school with sam lidstrom

[@xkillingxtime]

I just realized, why is his "C" on the wrong side? :\

[@dsully421]

16:37 my dude is packin a fucking HAMMER

[@ObviousLedgend]

16:35 packing a huge ipper, whatta beaut

[@joemchugh61]

they need to do one with scotty hartnell
