Yzerman's number would not be retired right now if Lidstrom had the better career. Lidstrom's would be retired first and then eventually Yzerman's number. If Yzerman was really as bad as you guys are making him seem then his number wouldn't be retired at all period. You don't retire the number of some guy that was just there for the ride and wasn't a big part of the success. There is more to hockey than winning awards and trophies. Yzerman changed his game. If he hadn't done that he would've won more awards.

Who was the last athlete you have seen who had his number retired
while he was still playing?
I'm such a fool. I should have realized about 8 posts back that you're just trolling.
