HFBoards - View Single Post - Ansar Khan: During a Q & A makes a scary prediction about Datsyuk

The most common thing in Datsyuk and Yzerman is that both scored/scores when it matters the most. They play their best game when the stakes are the highest or the pressure situation is the tightest.

I wouldn't say that Zetterberg doesn't do that. He's very good also, but Pavel has more those impressive last minute goals, gamewinner and equalizers or passes to make the clinching play. Just like Yzerman did. If somebody can find game-winning-goals+assists statistic somewhere, I'm quite sure Pavel Datsyuk leads that.

Where was that weighted scoring stats, when game is tight, tied or 1 goal difference, own team behind? I remember Pavel Datsyuk was the best NHL-scorer counted that way.

Nobody cares about easy points in a 8-2 win, when the other team has already given up. But 1+1 in 2-1 playoff overtime win, you are nothing but the man of the match.
