ZETTERBERG SURPASSES ULLMAN
Bob Duff writes in the Windsor Star, "Enjoying a two-man advantage, Detroit Red Wings centre Henrik Zetterberg worked the puck down low, feeding a pass to linemate Tomas Holmstrom, parked in his usual office, the slot. Holmstrom's one-timer clanged off the crossbar, banked off the stick of Nashville Predators goalie Chris Mason, then the knee of Detroit's Jiri Hudler and into the net. That pool cue shot of a goal earned Zetterberg a place in the record book. No other Red Wing has ever recorded a point in the first 15 games of the National Hockey League season." |
A FINE LINE: ZETTERBERG-DATSYUK-HOLMSTROM COULD BE BEST TRIO IN NHL
Helene St. James writes in the Detroit Free Press, "Pavel Datsyuk's theory is all about shooting. He's doing more of it, Henrik Zetterberg is doing more of it, and while Tomas Holmstrom isn't, that's because his particular talent is tipping. Together the three have, over the past month, united to become the NHL's standard-bearers for lines." |
THE LUCK OF THE DRAFT
Mark Spector writes in the National Post, "Henrik Zetterberg hopped the boards last night in Edmonton, the same place where Patrik Stefan's blunder so perfectly summed up his disappointing career one night last season. It was the night before Halloween, and Zetterberg was dressed as perhaps the best player in hockey today, leading the league with 21 points. Stefan was overseas in Bern, Switzerland, his costume as a No. 1 draft pick long packed away, and on a course for retirement thanks to yet another injury. "A plane-crash survivor," is how agent Steve Kotlowitz describes Stefan, who was drafted first overall by Atlanta in 1999, 209 picks before the Detroit Red Wings spent a seventh-round selection on Zetterberg." |
