Yzerman Defends Datsyuk

Q . You were the best player in the postseason. Is that a good thing or a bad thing, with all due respect to your age?
A . I don't know that I'd agree I was our best player. I felt I was effective and I had some moments, I guess. I thought Henrik Zetterberg was outstanding. And everyone's all over Pavel (Datsyuk) but I watched the kid closely. He didn't score but he played really well. People have to understand, he was out three weeks before the playoffs with a significant charley horse. They had to drain the blood out of it and he came back early from that.

I read the art. These guys are resting on their lorals. SY needs to go.
Not Shanny.

If Shanny comes back next year, I may consider cheering for Columbus.

Well don't flake out like Jammertime. Besides if SY goes then we can bring back Feddy. I think we need each other.

I'm not so sure I'd want Fedorov back considering his current contract. And by the time that's up, he'd just be a liability.

The team needs new blood, not other team's leftovers... errr ahhh.... I mean veterans.

oh well

Just tougher and hungerier!
