Datsyuk's Mesmerising Game Winner with 0:05 left vs. Nashville

What a way to extend a history-making home stand win streak. Coming in, the Red Wings had won an incredible twenty-one straight at the Joe Louis Arena. Then, Pekka Rinne and the Nashville Predators came in, and, with the game on the line, with time running down, Detroit found a miracle. That miracle's name? Pavel Datsyuk.

 

DAGGER!! If you want a game winner, you get the puck to a guy like Datsyuk. Insane moves. Sick skill. All of that. But what makes it an even more incredible moment is that he basically undressed one of the best goalies in the league. This was Pekka Rinne he pulled that move on, not some back-up guy who comes in once every few games. Datsyuk embarrassed a top-class netminder and will go down in history, extending the home win streak to twenty-two. Ridiculous moves. Ridiculous win streak. Amazing player. Amazing goal.
