SDavis35 140 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 6.2/10 It was a nice try but he didn't sell the deke quite as well as Dats does. And something about the way Datsyuk does it is so much more fluid and smooth. All in all, a nice gesture, he called it after Datsyukian I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And something about the way Datsyuk does it is so much more fluid and smooth. All in all, a nice gesture, he called it after Datsyukian I believe. I give it an 8/10. I agree with the smoothness part, it seems like he relied more on his hands and his skate work wasn't used as sharp as Datsyuk's. Since he calls it "The Datsyuk"... what does Datsyuk call it? I forget the guys names that Datsyuk learned/copied it from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 i love it....especially the part where a star player like Giroux pays his respects to Dats. Classy on Giroux's part and now i like him even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 Giroux modelled the move from watching one of the NHL's slickest shooters, and even named it after him."(I call it) 'The Datsyuk,'" he said, referring to Detroit Red Wings star Pavel Datsyuk. "I saw him do it a couple times and he's got some pretty sick moves. I've been working on it since I was young." http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/nhl/claude-giroux-uses-the-datsyuk-to-hand-flyers-1-0-shootout-win-over-leafs-142221665.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danielsm 244 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 NHL has a vote for who has the better "Datsyukian Deke" and Giroux is beating Datsyuk. Keep in mind they didn't put up Datsyuk's best and they also put the worse quality video I've ever seen for him. Let's try and get this vote back up for Datsyuk, no way Giroux should win.

JasonNewEra 84 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 Mad props for naming it the Datsyuk. Slowly but surely Pavel is getting the praise he deserves in this league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 I would just like to point out, sportscenter only put this as their 7th top play of the evening. Right behind a diving catch in Centerfield in spring baseball... you know the same play you will see on top plays at least three times a night until October. 2 haroldsnepsts and Frozen-Man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandyeggo wingnut 19 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 We have a "HWSNBN" here. Maybe ESPN should be give "CTSNBN" (channel that shall not be named) haha Seriously though. Giroux said he's been practicing that move, while I bet it just comes to Datsyuk naturally. And THAT is the biggest difference... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
