In celebration of my favorite hockey team making it to the Western conference finals (yet again), with a chance to win (yet another) Stanley Cup, I present my indisputable top 5 Red Wings (not necessarily my favorites).
5. Datsyuk #13/Zetterberg #40 - To me the euro-twins go together like PB&J so I find it hard to
separate the two. Their skill in the opponents zone has won them rings already and the sky is the limit with their potential.
4. Nicklas Lidstrom #5 - Cool and calm Lidstrom has been consistent for 17 years, earning his
name on the cup 4 times, and winning the Norris trophy 6 times. In any discussion about the top defenseman in the sport, his name's at the top.
3. Alex Delvecchio #10 - Often outshone by number 2 on this list, Delvecchio was consistently great. A member of the infamous Production line this 13 time All-star had a pinpoint accuracy that won him 3 cups of his own.
2. Gordie Howe #9 - With over 25 yrs. under his belt, Howe earned the nickname Mr. Hockey. Nuff said.
1. Steve Yzerman #19 - He wasn't the biggest guy, or the strongest, but for 23 yrs. Stevey Y.
was the face of the franchise and it's heart and soul. Simply put, he was and is, The Captain.
