The depth and breadth of Lidstrom's NHL career is a marvel, and I believe his second Norris Trophy win is the high-water mark that can match his revered seventh. Lidstrom won a personal triple crown in 2001-02, taking the Norris, the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. At age 31, he was in the lengthy prime of his 20-season career and already well-known for his ability to be the most efficient player in the game. He could play big and bigger minutes and still maintain peak effectiveness against the opposition's best. There's no better example than that season, when Lidstrom had 59 points (nine goals, 50 assists) in 78 games, playing 28:49 per game, then having 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 23 postseason games, playing 31:10 per game.-- Tim Campbell, staff writer
