Lidstrom – Always in the right place at the right time
bitter-pickles
The last time this was answered was definitively the correct answer. Nicklas Lidstrom. One of the best to ever do it, not always brought up in that conversation, and just did his job playing his sport and being better than anyone without being noticed

Dave Andreychuk.
Hated him cause he was on the Bolts team that beat the Flames but surprisingly he was always steady with his production. Flew under the radar.

Joe Sakic? That release was electric, but I always thought his game was just so calm and collected.
Salt Lake City, 4 points in a 5-2 win against the US.

Ryan McDonough. The guy is just always in the right spot and helped the bolts to a lot of success. He’s the guy I want on the ice with a minute left while up 1

Syd for a while. He has this Tom brady way of just picking goalies/defenses apart even if he isn’t the one scoring 50 goals a season. It’s cool to watch even if it’s not some mcdavid dangle or ovi power shot.

Joe Pavelski. If you think about it his tip shots are basically like Timmy’s banks.

Getzlaf needs more love here. Man was meat and potatoes on the ducks. Could hit the tape of all linemates at any time. Stupid strong. Mr dependable.

Going old school and saying Larry Murphy. 20 years in the league, 4 Stanley Cups — all with him on the top pair, 1,200 career points, first-ballot hall of famer… yet he never won a Norris and often felt like he was overshadowed by bigger-name players on every team he was on. Quietly an all-time great

I felt this way about Dwayne Roloson. Amazing goalie but his style was so low key.
It’s like he was making the bare minimum of movement required to make the save. Conserving energy. Barely any reaction after a big save.
Tuuka Rask, ya sure it’s ok…but it isn’t going to win you anything.

Anze Kopitar. He had some flashiness early in his career but he’s never been known for it. Either way he’s put up insane numbers in his career and is one of the most dependable 2-way forwards in the NHL even today
