Henrik Zetterberg pulls off a Forsberg-like deke to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Phoenix Coyotes 3-2 on Thursday, January 12, 2012. I was in attendance and went crazy when my favorite player tallied this one. Five nights later, the Red Wings were taking on the Dallas Stars in the second half of back-to-back games. They would need a shootout once again and this time it was Jiri Hudler who netted the "Zetterberg-like" deke to win 3-2. Deja vu. These two wins came in a streak of 6 straight wins when they needed a shootout 4 times and overtime once to get the wins. Go Wings!
Found Datsyuk's version: watch?v=3ckbGH98shc

Actually, it's the Kent Nilsson goal. He did it first. The only reason Forsberg's move is more famous is because it was done in a Gold Medal game in a shootout.
As far as I know, Nilsson and Datsyuk were the only guys to do Nilsson's move during live play. Datysuk did his version while looking like he was in a phone booth. It was sick.
