That is such a sweet goal! I couldn't believe how nice that was!

wow, he got in to the crease and then pulled it back.. wow

[chippa13 1844]

One would think that goalies would be smart enough to start poke checking him.

Is that the new move to use against the Wild each and every single time?? :lol:

[HattrickSwayze 3]

That's such a ridiculous move. That's why I love Datsyuk. Has to be one of the best stickhandlers in the league.

I'm sure you guys have seen this one, but it's pretty dang sick too.

Wow, I honestly didn't even know he had any different moves than the pull back roofer he seems to pull every other shootout!

You must not see much of him then.

If its just a "pull back roofer" why arent there more players pulling it?

[bednarz877 0]

not as easy as he makes it look

He can do it, other players can't, at least not reliably enough. Watch it at full speed and you'll see what I mean. The only other guy who might be able to pull that is Kovalev.

Really, it's a perfectly reliable move if you can pull it off. Because you are committing, and then uncommiting. That's the key. You can't just pretend to commit to the shot. You have to take the shot to the point where the goalie has no choice but to react before you make your move.

Getzlaf did the pull back roofer, as you guys call it. But Datsyuk's Winter classic goal was great

He has only done that move three times in his NHL carear. The last time he did it was 2006, I would hardley call that every other shootout.

Damn I hate the wings but Datsyuk is one of the best players i've seen, and that goal was sick

You guys not too good at picking up sarcasm, yeah? Obviously he can shake and bake in every way with the best of them (not just this move) but when you search Pavel Datsyuk on YouTube it seems like these moves are the first 10 or so hits you get.

[HattrickSwayze 3]

Probably because every single highlight video that someone makes has the same two shootout videos in it.

if they did he probably would do something silly stupid and make the goalies look worse. just take what he gives you and hope you get lucky. he is too good at shoot outs
