Here’s what Larry Robinson had to say about Hedman yesterday :
"To me, Victor epitomizes the way a defenseman should play -- it's not just all about points, even though he did get his share of them," Robinson said. "He was a tower of strength in the D-zone as well during the playoffs. With that long reach, I thought he used his stick really well, jumped into the play when the time was right, and scored some very, very important goals.
"I'm a big proponent of using every inch that you've got. With his reach he poke checks guys, like I did a lot. I might have been a little more physical, but I think his offensive skills are maybe a little better than mine were. I was a good skater, and he certainly is that."
