That's why they will be remembered by most as great players and Yzerman will be remembered as a good player.

Please. Just stop. You're making yourself look silly.
I'll repeat this here, even though I said it above in this thread: Yzerman himself said Lidstrom is the best player he has ever played with. Period. He didn't need to say it, but he did. Why do you think he would say that about a selfish player only concerned about personal accomplishments?
Are you sure you understand that we're talking about Nick Lidstrom and not Sergei Federov?
