Today's Video of the Day comes from WIIM reader Alex Hornecker. His reasoning for selecting this video:
Back in '01-'02 Datsyuk's pass to himself off the back of the goal. This is when I knew that he was going to be one of the greats.
I have to agree with the pass to himself. Quite an impressive play by Pavel Datsyuk who was a rookie at the time (playing with Brett Hull and Boyd Devereaux, the original Two Kids and a Goat line). The play occurs just after the 2 minute mark of the video. This video brings for to a question for all the WIIM readers out there. When did you know that Datysuk was going to be one of the greats? Was there a specific assist, goal, or play in general that you remember? Let's us know in the comments.
