Congrats to Nick Lidstrom (and Other NHL Chatter)

  Nicky is the model defenseman and the greatest of this generation. Probably top 3 of all time (behind Orr for sure, and then its up in the air). But days after this article (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/story?columnist=lebrun_pierre&id=5918807) is published he gets the first hat trick of his career.
  
  He didnt show a lot of emotion, because he never does. But you could tell how much it meant to him, and even better that it happened at home.

  I added the other NHL news since it doesnt appear we have a thread dedicated to it, like we do the NBA...so why not!

  Great for him getting the hatty.
  
  He isn't top 3, maybe top 5.
  
  I'd put Orr, Potvin, and Bourque above Lidstrom.
