If Nick Lidstrom has a to-do list, by now it is probably pretty damn short. Does he have it posted on the fridge, right next to the "Honey-do" list? Let's see...
Win Stanley Cup...check
Win World Championship...check
Win Olympic Gold Medal...check
Never finish a season in the "minus"...check
Win Norris Trophy...check
Win Conn Smythe Trophy...check
50 point season...check
60 point season...check
70 point season...check
80 point season...check
Average one point per game...check
Get a Hat Trick...hmmmmm...
(Get it? "check"? Oh, never mind...losers...)
Until last night, the great Nicklas Lidstrom had not scored a Hat Trick, even during the season where he amassed 80 points. That's pretty close to the top of the list. For all he has done, over 20 years, still no Hat Trick. Until last night. Thats the great thing about the Wings. When the offense can't seem to put the biscuit in the basket, the defense will. Out of 5 goals last night, two defensemen accounted for 4 of them. Now Nick can check off another item, and that is the one that reads, "Become oldest defenseman in history to record his first Hat Trick".
Wings win, 5-2, and are hopefully back to their winning ways.
