Hossa touts Datsyuk as NHL's MVP
"He has the ability to control the puck. He plays well defensively in our zone."I think he's the best allaround player in the world right now."Certainly in the past month there have been few better in the NHL.In his last 12 games, Datsyuk has six goals and 21 points while going a plus15.The fivefoot11, 197pound centre sits fourth in the NHL in scoring with 68 points, just a point back of Alexander Ovechkin and three behind Sidney Crosby.On the defensive end of the spectrum, the reigning SelkeTrophy winner ranks second in plusminus (plus30) and is leading the league in takeaways (64) for the third straight year."He's been going over a month now, back to December," defenceman Nick Lidstrom said."It's both ends of the ice too."He's been really dominating some games and being the deciding factor in games."Some of the highlight goals he's scored, he should be considered as a Hart nominee."Having spent his entire career in the Eastern Conference, Hossa has seen plenty of Ovechkin and he was a teammate of both Evgeni Malkin and Crosby in Pittsburgh last season.Hossa said Datsyuk is a member of that elite class."To tell you the truth I don't know why he isn't mentioned more in the league," Hossa said."Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin, he's right there. I don't know why people think (he's not a candidate for the Hart Trophy)."Datsyuk has been even more lethal in the past four games since Wings coach Mike Babcock has reunited him with Henrik Zetterberg for the first time this season.The 30yearold Russian has five goals and nine points in that span while helping Zetterberg bust out with three goals and six points."I sure think so," Babcock said when asked if Datsyuk has been the best player in the league the past month."Pavel always gets better as the year goes on. He never starts on fire,[url=http://www.floware.fr]michael kors femmes[/url], just gets better and better. He's his best at playoff time."Him and Zetterberg have some magic together. I think they play better together than they do apart."Pavel has got her going right now."HOSSA BUYING INTO WINGS If there was any doubt about Marian Hossa buying into the Detroit Red Wings' philosophy regarding their salary structure, the Slovak star removed it Wednesday.Hossa stated he thought Wings general manager Ken Holland would be able to keep both himself and Johan Franzen."They have some plan to keep both players, we'll see how they're going to manage that," said Hossa when asked if he was willing to take a hometown discount as Henrik Zetterberg did on his new contract.
