This makes less than zero sense...He's probably not even top 100 performances since 2005/06
Name 100 better.

He shouldn't just be there because he's Lidstrom though. Neither of his 2008 or 2009 runs is a contender for best 3 since 2006, so they shouldn't be listed. It's a high standard covering nearly two decades.Not sure what it mean and an agnostic comments, but Lidstrom did not show up in that list.
Yes he turned 35 during lock-out, but he is a 4 time Norris winners post 2005 with 2 stanley cup finals, in 2007 played over 30 minutes a night during the conference final run leading his team in points.
Could be a loaded team we do not think, could be injury-age by the time it is 2009, but are we underrating him ? When we think about Justin Williams or Alfredsson run before any of his ?
Or does his post 2005 career quite overrated by the voting bodies of the time...
20% of games giving up 4 or more (rescued by the 16th highest offensive output in playoff history to that point, and highest since the '92 Penguins)

Reliable goaltending, only one bad goal in the entire playoff or extremely inconsistent goaltending, and tons of bad goals.
2012 Quick happening within 12 months of the (needlessly long) 2011 playoffs, but getting so much less recognition is a failure of the American education system haha
I think I'd put Couture's 2015-16 playoff run here over a few others already on the list.
30 points in 24 games, 12th most playoff points in a single run among active players, but everyone ahead of him did it during higher scoring years. No one did it in the early 2000s, and he's the only one to do it in the early to mid 2010 years (the second lowest scoring years after the early 2000s).
He was pretty good defensively as well.
