Lidstrom – Always in the right place at the right time

Ray Borque immediately comes to mind.
I would also include Ovechkin in this. In fact, I think it’s a perfect description of him. Even now, dude basically just parks in the same spot with his stick in the air waiting for a pass. Everyone on the ice knows beyond a shadow of a doubt what he’s going to do. There’s no “omg, look at Ovi go!” or “They did not see THAT coming!” Everyone sees it’s coming and everyone knows what’s going to happen. And then it happens. He’s just that good. I can’t imagine playing against someone who is as predictable as Ovi but be so good that it’s not much of a help.

The last time this was answered was definitely 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
