NHL ALL-STAR WEEKENDJanuary 17, 1998Nicklas LidstromVANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA NICKLAS LIDSTROM: Well, once the tournament is over, don't have that long of a flight back. Have a few days' rest and you're back into playing. The time difference will be the toughest thing to adjust to. Q. Do you notice a difference in playing an international size rink? Change the game at all? NICKLAS LIDSTROM: I think it will be a high tempo game. I think it will similar to NHL hockey. Maybe the intensity won't be as high because of the bigger ice surface. It will still be a good hockey game. Q. Does that change the way you move the puck up the ice or make other certain players better because it's bigger? NICKLAS LIDSTROM: Yes. You really have to play your positioning really well. That will be a key. If you're out of position, the ice surface is so big, a guy can get a breakaway. That will be a big key for any team. Q. And do you think Europeans going up on an international rink have any advantage over North Americans? NICKLAS LIDSTROM: I don't think it will be that much of an advantage for the Europeans. I think everybody's been used to playing over here. You only have three days to practice with your team before you're back into action the first game. I don't think that will have much to do with it.
