Red Wings-Blackhawks post-Game 3 tailings and off-day news: on Pavel Datsyuk and the vampire squid
The Red Wings aren't practicing today and I'm not sure whether the Blackhawks are skating thanks to the two-day break between games and the simple truths that a) practice for practice's sake doesn't necessarily register with players (less is more) and b) everyone is banged-up to some extent at this time of year, so "rest is a weapon," as Mike Babcock would...

Pavel Datsyuk scores filthy backhand goal against Anaheim Ducks
Late in the first period the Detroit Red Wings had the puck deep in the Anaheim Ducks zone when this fantastic play happened.

The shot gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead and was a...
VIDEO: Pavel Datsyuk’s goal was filthier than…
Well I don’t want to get too dirty but Pavel Datsyuk’s game tying goal against Jonas Hiller and the Anaheim Ducks was pretty damn filthy. But not only that it reaffirms just how much more of a threat Datsyuk actually is…
