@m420carbine4 livestrong? who are you talking to?

amazing how this guy slips under the radar whenever someones talks about the best players in the nhl right now...i live in the east so i dont get to see him that often but the guys just incredible.

@mustbeburtreynolds saying they're like the Yankees is kind of offensive, the Yankees are a shitty organization who basically buys an all-star team every year. The Wings actually work hard as an organization to draft key players and training staff with even the lesser known names. Not to sound like a jerk, but it is kind of offensive imo.

[mustbeburtreynolds]

@nythreefer Exactly - he blows everyone away in takeaways every year.

I did the math a few months ago, and after combining points per game with plus/minus (calling it "effective points per game" because minuses cancel out points), Crosby was only scoring something like 0.2 PPG more than Datsyuk, which is only about 16 more per year. Combine that with Pavel's takeaways and the fact that he barely EVER takes a penalty and you have concrete evidence of Datsyuk being the best player in the NHL.

@nythreefer More like the Yankees are the Wings of the MLB.

The Red Wings scout, draft and develop their players from the inside.

The Yankees spend 800 billion dollars stealing every other team's best players.

@mustbeburtreynolds o god i hope not, i cringe at the thought of having to play them 4 times a season. i cant figure out how they stay elite for so so many seasons. Their the NHL version of the Yankees.

[nythreefer]

@GeeTARnugget agreed no one comes even close to how often he steals the puck off an opponents stick

[GeeTARnugget]

@nythreefer the reason for that is when people think the best, they just think offense. Not much about defense. So for those like Pavel who do both exceptionally well, wont get the recognition they deserve with people like Crosby or Ovechkin, who mainly just play the one side of the ice. Pretty fucked up.

[mathieulebum]

I can do that.

[mustbeburtreynolds]

@nythreefer You hopefully will after next year. The Wings very well may get relocated to the East in place of Winnipeg for the 12-13 season.
