Hockey Master 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 Nevertheless, Datsyuk's goal on Manny Fernadez, then the stopped attempt on Marty Turco was pretty bitchin'. You got it backwards... He beat Turco but was stoned by Roloson Oh, dammit, you're right. I remember now. I had some feeling that it was off....Well, thanks for the reminder.

Nevertheless, Datsyuk's goal on Manny Fernadez, then the stopped attempt on Marty Turco was pretty bitchin'. I wasn't saying he doesnt have the talent to score like that, i just meant he hasn't show-boated like that yet Yeah, I think he has the talent to do it, I wasn't commenting on the showboating. I was saying that I don't think that he's healthy enough to do it consistently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraperFan MN 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 (edited) Because he tried the same move only a week later on a penalty shot. He beat Roloson like a rented mule on a clean break not too long after that. peace I was at that game and here is a clip of Datsyuk owning Roloson after tipping the dump to himself out of mid air... http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/wild/wmedi...rd_11_22_03.wvx Edited August 14, 2005 by DraperFan TX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanBarnes! 293 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Didn't Zhamnov pull that move on Legace a couple of years ago, and I think Miroslav Satan did that move to Eddie Belfour last season. Then Satan took his glove off and pretended his hand was a cell phone, it was a pretty amusing celebration I must say. Although I'm sure neither Zhamnov's nor Satan's celebrations were as ridiculous as Kopecky's was. I believe Satan "talking on the phone" was a crack at the trade rumors surrounding him at the time.

Darrell 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 I posted on this on RWC a long time ago, and was told the reason for the hot dogging was because both teams were doing it to each other after goals/saves. It wasn't a normal Kopecky reaction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "cockiest" thing i've seen Kopecky do is point his stick right in John Erskines face after Erskine slashed him this past season. Erskine slashed him, and Kopecky turned around and put the blade of his stick right between erskines eyes, like an inch from his face...kinda funny, but Kopecky would have been killed if they fought.
