Happy 31st B-day Pavel
Somebody turned 31 today. Thought I would take quick second to give you a small snippet of his career numbers as well as some of my favorite quotes straight from “Dangle, Dangle” himself. I know there is plenty that I haven’t included so please feel free to post the ones that are missing.
"He just used me like pony," Datsyuk said. "He was on top of me. I don't li
ke being the pony. I want to be on top."

ReplyDeleteThanks for the read. The two of us are currently in the middle of a discussion about Nightmare on Helm Street being the best name for a Wings blog ever.
ReplyDeleteI find it amazing that he only has one career hat trick (5/12/08 vs. Dallas) and none in the regular season.
ReplyDeleteAmazing talent, hilarious guy.
