1. Pavel Datsyuk sneaks by one two three four Predators – Feb. 19, 2013
There’s a moment when Datsyuk is winding his way into the Nashville zone that it looks as though he’s run out of real estate. He’s skating headlong into three Predators defenders, and not long after he makes the decision to do so, all three players reach in to try to knock the puck off of Datsyuk’s stick. But this is Pavel Datsyuk we’re talking about, and, wizard that he is, he splits the defenders and gets body position to fire a shot on goal. Does the shot bulge twine? Reader, it does not. But it trickles in and Datsyuk’s exuberant celebration tells you all you need to know. He truly is the ‘Magic Man’.
