I was at the game last night and turned to my brother and said that Datsyuk scored just like Nyquist during Luongo's first stint with Florida. Pretty cool to see the two replays side-by-side.

Thats pretty awesome....and crazy that you remember that and noticed it haha.

Claypool and I were discussing this during the GDT last night. I remember it pretty vividly because this was about the time where Datsyuk really became my favorite player. Fedorov was my favorite player from the time he was in Detroit and when he left I was pretty devestated. But then that slippery #13 just continued to amaze and blossom as a hockey player and he was making it very easy to forget about #91.

So, on Datsyuk's goal, Brett Hull (a HOFer) made the pass to Datsyuk (a dynamic young gun). On Nyquist's goal, Datsyuk (probable HOFer) made the pass to Nyquist (a dynamic young gun). In 11 years, will Nyquist be a probable HOFer? And what dynamic young gun will be be passing to?

Luongo's contract will almost be done by then, too.

Mantha.

From Hull to Datsyuk to Nyquist to Mantha.

That's how it goes.

Not enough time between them.

Not enough time between them.

So it will be some undrafted 7th round future gem?

Now we're talking.

i still dont really see how its the same goal.

goose got a lucky bounce off mitchell.

pav put his shot in the perfect spot.

lu played goose perfectly and was too aggressive with pav.

shots went from and to the same spot but everything else about it is different.

If he's undrafted why would he be 7th round?

 

[izlez]

They even still have the same BCBS/Little Caesars/Kroger advertisements in the same spot

Plus, Nyquist and Datsyuk clearly tied their shoelaces differently!

It's the exact same goal. Down to every detail. Look harder.

Geez, way to kill a moment

Sorry for the bump but I just realized Nyquist is nothing but a copycat.

 

[TatarTangle]

I hope he copycats his way into being just as good

Personally, I'm more excited about playmaking Nyquist than goal scoring Nyquist.

 

[ap3x]

We don't need Copycats like that. Gus, shame on you. Should have started playing your own game back then

 

[Claypool]

Speaking of Nyquist, his puck protection is starting to look a lot like Zetterberg's.

Datsyuk didn't pass him the puck though.....
