Is anyone else out there a hockey nut? What's your team? Obviously I worship the Detroit Red Wings. Pavel Datsyuk was always my favorite player. Not just for Detroit, but the whole league. Niklas Lidstrom was just as amazing, but I think there may be a reason they called Datsyuk "The Magician". I remember seeing him make the most unbelievable move I have ever seen. He was moving to the right of the goal with the puck, going a million miles an hour, pulled the puck around behind him, shot a backwards shot from behind, and scored. I've never seen anything like it. I don't know if any of the legends (think Wayne Gretzsky) have ever made a move like that.
One thing I won't watch again is the all star game. I mean a couple years ago I made it a point to watch the game. It seemed everyone on the ice forgot how to play hockey. Especially the goalies! The final score was 19-11. 19-11! When a 5 point game is a severely high scoring game, the "all star" game made me sick. Everyone was like "oh I'm sorry, you can have the puck if you want it." "oh I wouldn't dream of taking the puck from you."
Gag me with a hockey stick!
