I honestly thought Bert would try the move where he skates in REALLY slow and then stickhandles a storm.

So siiiiiiiiiiiiick, especially after that Smith larceny on the Pav special.

Bert to the rescue!

I <3 Big Todd Bertuzzi.

Detroit is putting on a show with these shootout goals the last few times. I just can't believe how slick Bertuzzi's moves are. He doesn't get as much praise as Datsyuk, but the guy is a blast to watch when he gets going. Been one of the best players overall this whole season, except for a quiet stretch during November or so.

EDIT: Parity in the league is insane. I can't believe we basically go up and down between 1st and 5th just based on a couple teams playing games one night vs. the night before.

Has Datsyuk ever been stopped on that move before?

[atodaso]

i feel bad for pavel. i hope this makes him come up with a new sick breakaway move.

I really don't think he has. Thought the same thing.

I blame the wind.

Anyone else wish they'd count shootout stats in personal records? At the very least for the guy who scores the game winner? Seems like Bert has a few in the shootout this season and that should really be reflected somewhere in the stats, I think.

No, not that I can remember. He only breaks it out every once in a blue moon but when he does use it it's automatic. He maybe got in a little too close and couldn't elevate it this time around, but Smith did a nice job.

Tuzzi (I think) said: "I was pissed off I missed the last time" LOL!

Just got home from the game. What a sick move by Bertuzzi. Pavel is amazing in person, as was Howard! Great game. The arena was near full, due to the obscene amount of Wings fan.

Yep, he did haha!

Yeah, he didn't elevate it as high as he normally does. Smith stayed in the goal well enough too. Usually the goalies tend to over commit and it leaves more of an opening.
