Onward and Upwards - A Perfect Poster For The Perfect Human
Other folks have great written write-ups giving Nick his due. Twig’s thoughts, right below this post, is an epic write up that shares his feelings on what Nick has given him. It’s awesome. Plus, there’s going to be a million others that do a better job at it than I could ever dream of.
But I had this vision for a tribute this morning, a different style one that fit with NOHS’ theme. I contacted NOHS' Art Department, aka Josh Howard, to see what he could do with it. And as usual, he came through with flying colors. He put together exactly what I had in mind. And I think it’s perfect.
Hit the jump to see how we wanted to honor #5. It’s worth it:
I think this truly is a great tribute to the man that gave us fans everything he had for the past 21 years.
A stairway to hockey heaven, the rafters of Joe Louis Arena.
Thanks for setting the bar higher than anyone else could ever dream. As a fan, I just have to say thanks for everything Nick.

Where/how do we get our hands on this poster? I'd LOVE to get one for my brother in Alaska!
Where/How can I buy one of these posters for my wall? This is great, a fitting tribute.
Thanks for the love on the poster. Nick Lidstrom deserves all the credit as inspiration and Chris deserves all the credit for the original thought on the poster. Thank you all. -Josh Howard

Really great poster. Congrats on getting it posted by the wings official page!
Going to be sad not having #5 next year, but its good that he could leave on his own terms without regret! Cheers Lidstrom!
I was just going to say its on Red Wings Facebook! I think if I made the money the captain did, I would go back to Detroit and a round of drinks for everyone! Great job on the poster!
Just to let you know just in case you haven't seen this picture has been posted on the official red wings site and showing up everywhere now and most don't know who to give credit to. By the way this is the most amazing picture, perfect for the perfect human
Awesome poster! That is as fitting tribute as you can get about the great one! Would like to say via this site a massive "THANK YOU" to the man who has so loyally and consistently served this team - you will be missed!
Incredible, love it. Gonna be difficult to walk up all those steps in skates, but greatness isn't easy!
@JHowardDesign. Wow, that's breathtakingly beautiful. Just amazing. But why did you send so much dust with it? It's in my eyes again.
@JHowardDesign Been acting up badly all day, I predict a rash of this in the near future.
