cboth686 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 He can't seem to get any pucks to the net.... Hurt? Holding the Stick too tight? Trying to do too much? I mean, zero goals in the last 6 games? Something has gotta give...This isn't very Datsyukian! and we could sure use him to show up for Game 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know ... the only thing I've realized wrong with Datsyuk until now is probably ---> Nidermayer and Pronger on the Ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Ninety-SUX. Enough said. Coach Babcock has a stiffy for Holmstrom for some reason, who is ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS in series against a big team like the Ducks or any team tough for that matter. When Holmstrom is removed from the HART TROPHY NOMINEE'S line, the HART TROPHY NOMINEE will play better. Babcock needs to lose his Holmstrom hard-on first, though.

jollymania 162 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 he has been good, he jsut isnt putting anything in the net, he still has an amazing defensive game and is still making plays, the last shot of the gmae was the epitome of dats's bad luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincanni 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Hard to score when you're a one man team and every one you can possibly pass the puck to is being interfered with to no avail penalty wise. Granted Pronger and Neidermayer are world class Defensemen and the best in the world so whenever they take out a player away from the puck illegally which they've done 10+ time each, no penalties are called because its their veteran presence not them cheating in any way shape or form.

shoe 165 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 looks like he is trying to do too much to me looks like hes a man on a mission but the ducks are all over him im sure he is way more frustrated than we are watching it. Hes contained often 2 on 1 the prob I have with this is that if he has 2 guys on him who is open on the wing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 He's lost his killer instinct. I can't tell you how many times I've seen him begin to drive hard to Hiller with the puck only to peel off in favor of some worthless "selfless play" or low % shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pirateasaurus 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Nothing is wrong with him. The Ducks have his number and obviously pay special attention to him. He's got ducks all over him in the offensive zone and it's frustrating. It's not pavel, it's the ducks and they are doing great job making him a non factor. I really feel that the cure for pavel will be to get away from the ducks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 I think our perceptions were really skewed after Game 5. Yes the Wings dominated the puck, but until the 3 minute mark of the 3rd the game was still very much in question. It was a closer game than the final score indicated. Writers in MI and across the nation blew that "dominance" way out of proportion. That not only influenced our perceptions as fans but also perhaps the Red Wings themselves. Perhaps that's why tonight's game has been so disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

under_par_00 45 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 That made me sick watching what happened at the end of the game. Getzlaf throwing at Hossa, while Hossa is trying to defend himself the whole time. Then that POS Niedermayer throwing fists at Datsyuks shield-less face, all the while Dats still has his gloves on, and Niedermayer still has his god damn visor on. Once Dats got the glove off, I didnt want him to throw punches into Niedermayers visor, not with hands like those. Dats took some good shots to the face during that one.

datsyukismyfriend 4 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 it's not the ducks, dats was worthless in the jackets series, too. he's buckled under the pressure. no excuses. if we get booted this round, dats will shoulder a ton of the blame. 97 points in the regular season, 4 points (1 goal) in 10 games in the playoffs. no excuses. he needs to get his s*** together.

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Hurrah for another 10 datsyuk threads.. The guy honestly didn't have a great game tonight. I thought he started out strong but seemed to be overworking situations later on in the game. I think he just needs to play more simple hockey. Give-and-go's, shots and rebounds etc. Also the Ducks are pretty much the worst kind of opponent for him. They go exclusively for the body, and get away with a ton of interference and holdings. I feel we need to win this series "without him" so to speak. Against Chicago he would probably tear it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datsyukismyfriend 4 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 dats should take a long look at zetterberg, franzen, or getzlaf for that matter. these guys are monsters in the playoffs. datsyuk has been a mouse. it was his reputation early in his career. he's come through somewhat the last few years, but now he's under-performing worse than ever. great players come through when their team needs them. datsyuk hasn't done that once these playoffs. it's ridiculous.
