The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

DETROIT -- Nicklas Lidstrom and the Red Wings have agreed to terms on a new two-year contract that will keep the defenseman in Detroit through the 2009-10 season.

"Nick has been the best defenseman in the world for several years," Detroit general manager Ken Holland said in a statement Wednesday. "He's a great captain and role model who does everything right, both on and off the ice."

Winner of five Norris Trophies, the 37-year-old Swede is the highest scoring defenseman in Red Wings history with 900 points in 15 seasons in Detroit.

Great! My favorite Wing ever back for 2 more, not too mention one of then greatest D-men ever. Kenny Holland gettin it done again

I doubt he would have played anywhere else in the NHL. If he and the Wings couldn't work out a deal, I think he would have gone home to play in Europe.
