Number Twenty

Let's start out with some of the typical magic we see from them on the power play.

Number Nineteen

Datsyuk performs one of his trademarked takeaways and performs a pass mid spin to Zetterberg.

Number Eighteen

Datsyuk intercepts a pass, draws the goalie towards him and drops it off to an elusive Zetterberg.

Number Seventeen

Datsyuk loses his stick but finds a way to kick the puck to a spot where only Zetterberg can get it and put in the EN goal.

Number Sixteen

Datsyuk makes a drop pass through his feet to Zetterberg who sends a bullet to the net.

Number Fifteen

Zetterberg finds a way to get the puck through a whole mess of people to Datsyuk.

Number Fourteen

Datsyuk finds Zetterberg who fakes out a defender and manages to shoot it through three Dallas Stars and the goalie.

Number Thirteen

Datsyuk toe drags the puck and makes a soft pass to Zetterberg.









Number Twelve

The Euro Twins show that the Sedins aren't the only ones who can pull of this kind of cycle.



Number Eleven

(I had to get this one out of a music video compilation so please bear with the music if it's not to your liking. I set it so that once you press play you see the goal right away).

Datsyuk works with very little room and finds a way to make a drop pass to Zetterberg who displays great patience with the puck.

Number Ten

Datsyuk does a shake and bake and then passes the puck to Zetterberg who dangles the hell out of the goalie.

Number Nine

The Euro Twins circle around the net for the kill. Zetterberg threads the needle to Datsyuk who waits for the right moment and then strikes.

Number Eight

Zetterberg steals the puck and somehow maneuvers his way around four Dallas Stars players and then sends it to Datsyuk.









Number Seven

Datsyuk "stickhandles in a phone booth" as they say and fights the puck to Zetterberg.

Number Six

Datsyuk hates it when his linemates scream or tap their stick on the ice because he wants the opposition to forget about you. "I know where you are," he often says. In this goal he displays an ability to have eyes in the back of his head.



Number Five

Dan Cleary does a great job winning the battle for the puck. It slips loose to Datsyuk, who already knows where Zetterberg is, performs a behind the back pass to Zetterberg in the slot where he rips a perfect shot into the net.



Number Four

The widely known Zetterberg goal where he spins and falls and... scores, somehow.

Number Three

Datsyuk splits multiple defenders; dishes it off the Zetterberg, who dekes the goalie out of his jockstrap.









Number Two

On this goal the two played catch as if they were all by themselves on the ice. Datsyuk then threads the needle right to Zetterberg.

Number One

The selection won't surprise anyone and it doesn't require any explanation. Simply amazing.
