Many of us remember a month back when Pavel Datsyuk went end-to-end through all five Nashville Predators to beat goalie Pekka Rinne.
Many of us also remember 18 years back when we played NHL 94 while drinking Slice.
Here is a video via NHL.com that combines the majesty of said Datsyuk goal with the timeless SFX and graphics-package of NHL 94.

Makes me miss the Hartford Whalers more than ever.
If you don't remember or know of NHL 94, SHAME ON YOU. Seriously, age is no excuse. NHL 94 is arguably the greatest sports video game of all-time, released in the golden era of 16-bit game counsels that included such titles as NBA Jam, Madden 95 and Bulls vs. Blazers and the NBA Playoffs.
I know these days you kids love to get online and 'chirp' about how you beat 'dusters' with your 'dirty cannon' from 'Stammer' then make him do 'sick cellies' on NHL 13 but in a perfect world sports video g...

This video comes to you through multiple hands...I stumbled upon it via RedWingsFeed, and Sportsline's Brian Stubits saw it via a Tweet from NHL.com's Dave Lozo, but it's worth the effort. NHL.com took Pavel Datsyuk's end-to-end goal against Nashville and de-pixelated it, added some sound effects and turned it into a clip reminiscent of most over-30 hockey fans'...

Red Wings prospect Calle Jarnkrok's Swedish team, Brynas IF, won't repeat as Swedish Eliteserien champions. They were ingloriously swept from the playoffs by Skelleftea AIK on Monday, leaving Jarnkrok's future up in the air.
The Wings signed him a year ago, but chose to loan him to Brynas for the Eliteserien season, and the Swedish-language newspapers have assumed that...

The Detroit Red Wings fell into an all-too-familiar trap in dropping their first (and in this case "only") game back from a Western Canadian road swing against a team that had made the same trip, dropping a 4-2 decision to the Minnesota Wild in a game that wasn't nearly as close on the ice as it was on the scoreboard.
While the Wings weren't particularly thrilled...

The Western Conference standings are tighter than Adrian Dantley's wallet. The Wings 33 pts have them holding onto the 7th spot at the moment, 3 pts out of 4th place, and only 3 pts in front of 10th place CBJ. Jobu was apparently in charge of Tuesday's practice; Eaves is questionable after being hit in the mellon by a puck, Datsyuk has the flu, and Hank has the runs...

from Dan Rosen of NHL.com,
A lot of general managers will say they look at the Detroit Red Wings as the model for consistency as a franchise. As a younger GM with experience working in the League for several teams, does that play with you as well and do you want to model your team after the Red Wings?
