Uncle Mike Goes League-wide

Jack Adams front-runner Mike Babcock just wrapped up a media conference call and we’ve got it for you.  He touched on the Flying Circus and the fact that Zetterberg was the league’s best player the first six weeks; a title Pavel Datsyuk has since assumed.  Babcock made no mention of the knee injury that may keep Tomas Holmstrom out of tomorrow night’s Edmonton game.

Saler’s a frigging showoff. He’s got the transcript here.

MIKE BABCOCK: ... I mean, the whole thing here, Kenny often jokes about it, the day Nick retires, he’s going to have a press conference about six seconds after him to announce his retirement.  Nick drives the bus here.
Q.    Nick’s team?
MIKE BABCOCK: There you go.

Not that there’s ever been any doubt about the transition of power, but it’s good to hear.

I wonder just how much Kenny’s joking when he says that, though.

Babcock sums up the Eurotwins perfectly here:

I think Pavel, if you just want to just bring someone out of your seat, simple flash, one-on-one, putting the puck on a string, there’s no one that can do it like him. And then for just doing everything right, day in, day out, offensively, defensively, mistake-free, that’s Zetterberg.

Datsyuk and Zetterberg are the new Selanne and Kariya, except better.
