Guest The Axe Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Like a solid 4th liner. Had an opportunity early but the shot was blocked. I am starting to really like the way he plays his role... Cool. He aint flashy, but he just does whats asked of him. Gotta like a role player who fills his role. Especially when he's a 13th/14th forward and stepping up for injuries. Go wings.

Nev 1,085 Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Ah Pavel...sweet, sweet Pavel... And is it just me, or does Andersson look taller than 6-2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Axe Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Crosby produces with Kunitz and Dupuis. No excuses for Datsyuk. Those guys are good!! LeCavelier produces with Stamkos and St. Louis. No excuses for Datsyuk. Huh? Ah Pavel...sweet, sweet Pavel... And is it just me, or does Andersson look taller than 6-2? All our other guys are small. So he looks bigger.

wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Crosby produces with Kunitz and Dupuis. No excuses for Datsyuk. Crosby also gets to play practically the entire 2 minutes for every powerplay whereas Pavs gets a minute and that is it. Also Pavel commits himself a lot more to defense than Crosby does.

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Crosby produces with Kunitz and Dupuis. No excuses for Datsyuk. Crosby could make anyone productive, but I see your point. Kunitz is a pretty good player too. I just think Datsyuk deserves something other than Bertuzzi or Cleary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Crosby could make anyone productive, but I see your point. Kunitz is a pretty good player too. I just think Datsyuk deserves something other than Bertuzzi or Cleary. Kunitz and Fil are about a was. Dupuis and Cleary are about a was offensively, although Cleary has just been brutal the start of this year. Crosby also gets to play practically the entire 2 minutes for every powerplay whereas Pavs gets a minute and that is it. Also Pavel commits himself a lot more to defense than Crosby does. Take away Crosby's powerplay points and he stay is more productive. Pavel needs to start finishing, and I believe he will, he's too good not to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Crosby produces with Kunitz and Dupuis. No excuses for Datsyuk. They play two totally different types of Hockey. Crosby is passing the blue line while Datsyuk is at the red line waiting for the automatic turnover by Cleary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Calling out Datsyuk? I love this place. I'm not calling him out, I just think Datsyuk is the type of player that should make his line mates better that's all. He's not been bad or anything, I just haven't seen a consistent effort out of him yet, too many turnovers so far for him in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest irishock Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah, Cleary should be playing like Corey Perry now that he's on Datsyuk's line. Pavel hasn't done a good job of making his team mates better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that has everything to do with datsyuk leading the team in giveaways. He can be better, that's all I'm saying. Oh and how many games has Cleary played with Datsyuk?

Isn't Datsyuk usually a slow starter? Hopefully he can pick up his play in this short season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
