from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
It’s about quiet brilliance. Being, to knock off the old Johnny Rodgers nickname, an ordinary superstar.
His Red Wings are running away with the NHL regular season, by far the best team in the opening four months with a shot – not a great shot, but still more than a mathematical possibility – at breaking league records for wins and points in a single season.
Lidstrom is the best player on the best team. So shouldn’t an awful lot more people be making an awful lot more noise about Lidstrom winning his first Hart Trophy as league MVP this season?
“I have no idea why Nick Lidstrom hasn’t won a Hart already,” said an exasperated Detroit GM Ken Holland. “I just don’t know what people are watching. I mean, he doesn’t win because why, he’s not a good quote?”
In the last few days there seems to be numerous Lidstrom for MVP stories and I wonder who is behind this talk. It is not like the Wings to promote an individual player, but a few weeks ago on local Detroit radio, Scotty Bowman was asked about Lidstrom. Scotty praised Nick and and said it was up to the media to start the Lidstrom for MVP campaign. Looks like they were listening or Bowman is bending some ears with a few well placed phone calls.
