The Next Lidstrom Meets The Original Lidstrom

from Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News,

Lidstrom, the Hockey Hall of Famer widely regarded as the best defenseman ever to come out of Sweden, chatted in Swedish with Sabres blueliner Rasmus Dahlin for a few minutes after the team's morning skate prior to its game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Detroit Red Wings legend waited patiently with Swedish broadcast partner Jonatan Lindquist while Dahlin finished an interview, and then the two shook hands for the first time.

"I was shaking. I felt like a child," a smiling Dahlin said after the meeting.
