So yeah, that last post... sure, it was a bit corny, but was it false... not really. Anyways, let's talk about the Red Wings. So yeah, how good is "Hank" Zetterburg? Fantastic! He's unreal. Last night against the St. Louis Blues he scored in the first 12 seconds of the game. You read that correctly, 12 seconds. Not only was a penalty assessed in the first 6 seconds of the game, an ill-advised delay of game penalty to one of the Blues who decided that it was a good idea to shoot the puck over the boards in their own zone, but 6 seconds into the power play, two of the best players in the league, Holmstrom made a beautiful backhand pass to Zetterburg who iced Manny Legace and the Blues.
So, here's a question I was wondering... how was Zetterburg not shortlisted for the Selke trophy (best defensive forward)? Wait, in order to be shortlisted, you'd have to be listed! Zetterburg, who is an amazing all around player, is a staple of Mike Babcock's penalty kill! Not only that, but if you've seen him play, there's no way that you can deny his defensive ability. He's unreal. I could list all those fancy stat thingies, or I could just assure you that he's unreal... which would you prefer? Right, you're going to trust me. Anyways, I bid all of you a Happy Thanksgiving, go stuff yourselves!
