Babcock gives one more reason why Lidstrom likely to keep playing

The future of Nicklas Lidstrom continues to be a topic with the Red Wings on the brink of elimination.
Coach Mike Babcock has maintained he believes Lidstrom will return next season.
Babcock gave another reason why he thinks Lidstrom will be back.
“Nick retires when he thinks he’s not a good player anymore,” Babcock said. “But I think he’s been a pretty darn good player.
“I don’t know what could possibly be more fun than playing hockey at a high level on a great team.”
But here’s the main reason, as far as Babcock is concerned.
“I know his wife, she doesn’t want him at home for sure, (so) why wouldn’t you keep playing?” Babcock said, eliciting laughter in the entire media room.
Babcock has answered the same question for all of his seven seasons now regarding Lidstrom’s potential retirement plans.
“I always say the same thing. He’s too good to quit,” Babcock said.
