These…
The time on ice for Nick Lidstrom.
With a healthy and refreshed Lidstrom, a long cup run becomes more probable and becomes a huge advantage for he Wings.
It has always been the theory of the opposing team to hit and run Lidstrom whenever possible and make him work on every shift.
You have to credit Mike Babcock for keeping his minutes low, especially on the penalty kill where it can really become a drain on the body.
Expect his minutes to increase if needed in the next round, but if Babcock would have his way, Lidstrom’s minutes would remain the same.
Then if the Wings were to advance to the Conference Final, we would see more of Lidstrom which can’t be good news for the opposition.

Baby Jebus. We have more gas in the tank, don’t we?
they have more left right now than they have had after the first round of the playoffs in a long, long time. and they’ve got a week to top off the tank.

Damn straight Snoopy. TPH not playing the PK (wonder if that is why it sorta sucked against the Dogs)?

A rested TPH is the most dangerous player on the ice. No wonder the Jetotes targeted him ruthlessly in Games Three and Four.

Wow, Lidstrom had the exact same number of shifts and minutes in game 1 and 2. That’s pretty wild.
