12/23/2019 at 1:05pm EST

from Jared Clinton of The Hockey News,

Players are getting faster, more skilled in their puckhandling and more brazen with what they’ll attempt. And that makes for plenty of fodder for this (subjective) list of the decade’s best goals....

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’.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
