Lidstrom Surgery

If Nick Lidstrom didn't seem to be his normal self during the Stanley Cup Playoffs there is a great reason why.

Lidstrom told the Detroit Free Press today that he had testicular surgery after Chicago forward Patrick Sharp speared him late in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals on May 22nd.

The surgery was May 24th and kept the six time Norris Trophy winner out of the final two games of that series.
