I know I've said this before but as Detroit sports fans we're pretty damn lucky. Most of the major sports cities have a few elite athletes that give them a decent shot at success each year and provide some memorable moments along the way. But very few ever get their hands on a Pavel Datsyuk. Players like this come along once in a lifetime and in Detroit we've already had two in my lifetime. Barry and Pavel both went about their business in such different ways from the status quo that it seemed like they were writing their own rules to the game. This constant innovation allows them to stay a step ahead of everyone else and in the process make it all look real fricken easy. Last night was just another prime example. The guy is flat out the filthiest hockey player to ever play the game. Maybe not the best, but hands down the filthiest.
Sidenote from last nights game - Has Larry Murphy always been a Jehovah's Witness?
