Best part of the goal might have been the hit on Wilson at the beginning: "Get the f*** out of my way; I'm going to score now."

Datsyuk is amazing player and one of the best in the league,Ya'll guys are gonna be lost without him,when he retires

[kipwinger]

Nice play.  It should be on ESPN web gems.  Nothing is sweeter than watching an incredible individual play.  Except maybe winning a game that you ought to.  Maybe that's better.  But good on Pavel...

 

Now I'm off to watch Michael Vick highlights, because watching one guy do amazing s*** while his team loses is my very favorite hobby.

Your line-mates are Cleary and Abdelkader - what's a man to do?

[Classic]

Amazing. This man never stops amazing me.

I just watched 4 seasons of Bulls basketball from 87 to 91. Its fun.

Suggestion that Michael was dominating but team was losing?  They didn't win the championship every year, but they went to the playoffs every year:

 

87 - first round

88 - second round

89 - conference finals

90 - conference finals

91 - won championship

I didn't realize that Pavel played for the Tigers too.  Top 10 plays instead maybe?

 

I can't help think that for everyone who says that Kenny should do everything he can to improve the team right now trade-wise, like getting a #1 d-man AND a sniper, the player he could put on the board that's going to bring back the most instant bang for the buck?  It's not Franzen or Flip or a combo of the Emmertons, Eaves, Kindls, Mursaks...it is #13.  Search your feelings....you know it to be true.

When he goes to Russia after his current contract is up, we're going to be hurting like you wouldn't believe.  Trust that.  One of the best players to ever wear the uniform.  I'm talking up there with Howe, Lindsay, Delvecchio, Yzerman.....the list goes on.

[RedWingsRox]

So fun to watch.  A classic.  This will appear even on Datsyuk's career highlight reel.

Lidstrom, Fedorov, Datsyuk, Howe, Yzerman

In that order.

[13dangledangle]

I can't believe they lost after that...

[toby91_ca]

Lidstrom, Fedorov, Datsyuk, Howe, Yzerman

In that order.

What?

 

I'm not sure what order you are using....are you saying Yzerman is #1 or Lidstrom is #1?  Either way, you have Datsyuk at #3 all-time for the franchise?

 

Either way you look at it, I think there is a whole lot of wrong with your order.

That highlight reel will be 2 hours long and hopefully released on bluray. The man had a highlight reel last NIGHT that's better than most guys do in several seasons.

My jaw hit the floor, and I rewound the DVR a couple times to savor it.  That was so good. 

 

He's creeping up on the All-Time scoring list...he's now about 22 points out of the number six position, just behind Norm Ullman.  He'll have a ways to go to hit the top 5, but if he did decide to come back (Please do, Pasha; I don't want to grovel, but I will), a couple seasons of good point output might just do it. 

[rrasco]

I didn't get to see the third period last night, but why am I not surprised.  He was already having a really good game.  I thought he should have had 2 goals by that point.

NHL.com has a whole section of his highlights right now as well.

I wish I had a replay of Pavel that entire game. It was a rare effort, even for him. Every time he touched the puck last night, my jaw dropped. As good as that play was, its crazy to think he made 3-5 more plays of that same caliber or better throughout the night. He had a definite "f*** this, we're winning tonight" swagger about him every shift. Unfortunately, he was stuck with two 4th liners for 20+ minutes.

Lids #1. I think Dats is the 3rd most skilled player in Wings history.

I was actually thinking about starting a thread about this, but I guess I'll just do it here.  I wanted to know who people thought was better, all things considered: Datsyuk or Zetterberg? 

 

While I'll readily admit that Datsyuk is the more skilled player, I still think Zetterberg is the better player overall.  He draws the tougher defensive matchups, he hangs on to the puck better when pressured, brings more intensity night in and night out, is a noticeably better penalty killer, and consistently puts up similar or better offensive numbers.  Plus, he'll actually shoot the puck without being forced to at gunpoint. 

 

Anyone else care to chime in?
