A Conn Smythe shift - Henrik Zetterberg, 2008 playoffs-series against Pittsburgh

[danglesnipecelly13]

Best shift ever!

[piratebri]

0:03 crosby diving.

[leaf98]

What is this from. A dvd of the whole playoffs for the wings?

[jwillborg]

@leaf98

Yes, it's from the 2008 Red Wings Championship dvd.

Babcock: "That's... what Hank does." lol

[CoreyPerrySucks]

I give that dive a 10 at :5, Hey crosby if you like to dive so much why dont you take up swimming, hockey is a mens sport not a pansy sport

[Sinco1967]

lol he slashed crosby stick and held it. You cant do that.

[sandro0244]

@Sinco1967 of course, and you cant hit in the game of hockey either

[Sinco1967]

@sandro0244 it's obstruction and interference. You can't prevent a player from PLAYING hockey. Crosby had no chance because before the pass was even made Zetterberg Slashed and Held Crosby stick. Crosby never had a chance to make a play.

@Sinco1967 hahahaha ok big guy

[shadowsoundlol]

@Sinco1967

"it's obstruction and interference"

nhl(DOT)com/ice/page(DOT)htm?i­d=26348

That's the NHL Rulebook entry for interference. The play shown was not interference.

[dunnyb41]

@Sinco1967 Let's not forget that Crosby took a massive dive to get the fucking penalty dumbass

[Sinco1967]

@dunnyb41 winners do what it takes to win. Art Ross, Rocket Richard, Hart, Pearson, Stanley Cup, OT Gold Medal Winning Goal enough said.

[dunnyb41]

@Sinco1967 Diving? Are you serious? The kids got a fuck ton of talent, only an idiot would think otherwise. But there's a right and wrong way to play the game. And what the Penguins do; dive, look for calls, and just generally playing soft (except for their one "enforcer", Matt Cooke aka the dirtiest player in the game) isn't the right way to do it. Plain and simple

[mustbeburtreynolds]

@Sinco1967 You're an idiot.

[furlano7]

next years red wings captain.

[triplexxxsatyr]

Zetterberg and Datsyuk. Supremely talented forwards but also the game's hardest-working duo as well. Damn the personal stats and go for the win.

Go Wings!!!

[dm101176]

Proves why him and Dats are the best 2-way forwards in the NHL.

[chadnelson12]

Crosby is a bitch. He's a good plater don't get me wrong but he's a bitch. Datsyuk is the best player in da league. Best hands in da league. Hey may not get all the offense but his offense and defense together make him da best.

[Chrisalchin]

i remember watching this as it happened and having my mind blown at the space they made in that PK it was awe inspiring

[xCodix]

What is this video from??

[Rich0591]

Why I would always choose Datsyuk and Zetterberg over Crosby and Malkin.

[Xpektz]

And your reason being? Stupid pick m8 ;)

[Rich0591]

Haha well the reason being the video! They are excellent defensively.

[Xpektz]

@Rich0591 And yet hey lost, how...shocking.. ;D

[Xpektz]

@Xpektz last year * ;)

[Crymson1]

@Xpektz How shocking, ya, given that they had nine injured starters.

I imagine you weren't aware of that.

[Xpektz]

@Crymson1 in the 2008-2009 finals? I don't think so ;D

[Crymson1]

@Xpektz Yes. The Wings had nine injured starters during the 2008-2009 finals. Hossa, Datsyuk, Franzen, Cleary, Holmstrom, Ericsson, Rafalski, Lidstrom and Lilja were all injured. The first eight had fairly serious injuries but played through them anyway, aside from Datsyuk; he missed the first four games of the finals with a busted foot.

Think on who would have been covering Malkin during games three and four were Datsyuk not injured---oh, right, the Selke winner.

@Rich0591 datsuks testical hair and henriks toe lint are better hockey players then bitchby and failkin

[juzu4me]

@Rich0591 lol Datsyuk and Zetterberg are very ordinary players. They both have fat contracts so they will both get fat soon...that happens with floaters

[JefferstChmilst]

@juzu4me Real ordinary.. let's see Crosby make a blind backhand between a defender's legs and put that same shot top shelf. Datsyuk just did that to Fleury the other night.

[doogles619]

@juzu4me HA... no. You forgot Franzen btw he'll be equally as fat.

[CoboHall14]

He's awesome.......hope he's back on the ice soon :(
