from the 2008 Stanley Cup Blog at CBC,
It should be played on a loop at hockey camps all this summer. Any two hockey players out there who want to be in the NHL some day should get the tape of the Detroit Red Wings’ fourth goal in Game 3 on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche.
It was a highly unique goal, scored by Red Wings sensation Henrik Zetterberg. On the power play, Zetterberg started off near the blue line and fed a pass to Pavel Datsyuk along the boards. Zetterberg moved behind the net and accepted another pass from Datsyuk, then quickly gave it back.
Then, Zetterberg moved to the other side of the net and accepted another, longer pass from Datsyuk in the left corner.
This time, Zetterberg passed the puck into the net behind Jose Theodore. 4-2 Wings at that point, and Detroit holds on to take the game 4-3.
“It was an all-world goal,” Avalanche coach Joel Quenneville admitted.
Watch the goal below…

Is there a better passing combo than these two?
It’s easy to see how these guys make up 2/3 of the Selke nominees, because this style of play translates directly to their highly-tuned defensive abilities as well.

The pass was unbelievable. I just wish the new NHL.com format worked for me at work.
