On May 31, 2012, one of the greatest NHL defenceman decided to hang up his skates.
20 seasons in the league, all of which were spent with the Detroit Red Wings.
Four Stanley Cups, Seven Norris Trophies, One Conn Smythe Trophy, One Olympic Gold and Twelve All-Star game appearances.
In his 20 seasons in the NHL, he never missed a single post-season.
1,142 points in 1,564 games with a modest +450 ranking.
Sports Illustrated and Sporting News named him “NHL Player of the Decade”
Due to the most recent video directed by Mr. Gavras for Jay-Z & Kanye West’s “No Church In The Wild,” I figured it was time for a post dedicated to his stunning visuals. The Athens-born 30 year old French director has a knack for high energy, gritty, controversial music videos. He has the ability to take a song and transform it into something formidable. The visuals and the storyline make it impossible to turn away for even a couple seconds. Warning: The videos are very intense and include violence and nudity. NSFW.
