  • Lived two doors down from me my whole life. He's an incredible guy and the most humble superstar I've ever seen. His whole family is awesome.

    He'll be missed.

  • The Accident to Konstantinov opened the door for Lidstrom. #5 Arguably the best to ever play. He was overshadowed by Vladdie till he went down. Imagine that duo if the accident never happened
