When football is not on, my gifs move to hockey:

This is based on my Datsyuk gif from last year:
Hope y'all are having a good 2014 compared to the sports year of 2013, the Wings are still looking shaky with flashes of brilliance.

Those are great!
January 5th, 2014 at 1:21 AM ^
looks awesome. would you mind sharing a link with the original?
January 5th, 2014 at 1:36 AM ^
LOL, sweet dodge by Tatar, who topped it off with the goal. And kudos on the gif.

...here's the embed:
It seems like hid in plain sight most of the way down the ice really. Very nice.
January 5th, 2014 at 1:31 AM ^
I haven't seen that one before.
January 5th, 2014 at 1:59 AM ^
cause it just happened last night in Dallas.
January 5th, 2014 at 1:56 AM ^
Best thing I've seen in a while. Awesome.
January 5th, 2014 at 2:24 AM ^
Makes up for that horrendous shootout try the other day.
January 5th, 2014 at 2:29 AM ^
:p I mean come on, he's a rookie playing in THE Winter Classic of Winter Classics. I was mad at first but then I thought about it, and damn what young kid wouldn't lose his mind a little bit playing in the kind of a crowd/environment?

I know I'm just being a dick. Plus he's got a way better job making way more $$ than me. He wins every time.

I know brah. We can ride in my not-a-winner mobile all night tho and pick up hookers!
January 5th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
Did someone say hookers?
January 5th, 2014 at 10:17 AM ^
Hookers came up in this thread about a 5-1 hockey game in Dallas. SMU is in Dallas. Craig James went to SMU.
Can we infer from this that Craig James killed 5 hookers?
January 5th, 2014 at 10:34 AM ^
**allegedly**
January 5th, 2014 at 12:52 PM ^
Very important question.
January 5th, 2014 at 9:30 AM ^
Have you ever played hockey outside where the snow is building up fast? Give him a break.
January 5th, 2014 at 2:40 AM ^
I was at the game in Dallas; that was by far the most amazing goal I'd ever seen live. And there were tons of Wings fans there (maybe 20% of the crowd)
January 5th, 2014 at 2:41 AM ^
Also, I think I screamed like a little girl after that goal.
January 5th, 2014 at 2:45 AM ^
Tats with filthy mitts. Watching live I had no idea what he was doing attacking two dmen by himself, never again.
January 5th, 2014 at 8:14 AM ^
I had no idea that Nightcrawler quit the X-Men and signed a contract with the Red Wings.
January 5th, 2014 at 9:13 AM ^
Question from somebody in Seattle who doesn't get a whole lot of Wings coverage. Do Tatar and Nyquist have the potential to be the next Hank/Pavel? Or is that hoping for too much? Nyquist impressed me last year in the playoffs and now this by Tatar,
January 5th, 2014 at 9:46 AM ^
Tatar started the year in Detroit only because he had no minor league options left and they didn't want to lose him; Nyquist should have been on the team in October.
He reminds me a lot of a young Datsyuk. He's got a ton of potential and does the stick-lift-takeaway just like Datsyuk does. The potemtial is there, even if he likely won't be quite as good. Tatar has a ton of talent too but doesn't have the defensive game so won't be as complete a player as Z.
The next star could be Jurco or another minor leaguer, nut they drafted Anthony Mantha in the first round this year. He tore up the World Juniors and he'll be up sooner rather than later. This guy will be really good too.
January 5th, 2014 at 10:30 AM ^
Jimmy Howard said it best when he said "Nyquist is a Broke Man's Zetterberg"
So it's safe to say they are comparable...
As for Tatar, between him and Jurco, I think we have some type of acceptable replacements when they do leave
January 5th, 2014 at 9:39 AM ^
I love how creative both he and Pavel are on the ice. It's too bad it wasn't an OT or game winning goal which would receive more attention.
January 5th, 2014 at 10:04 AM ^
Thanks for posting.

I've already called you a wizard on reddit, but I just wanted to mention that I'm so glad you're an mgoblogger, too. the internet is a small and wonderful place.
January 5th, 2014 at 1:11 PM ^
Both clips had me laughing
Sport Center had last nights goal on their Top 10. Minus the disappearing act! Great work - appreciate ya!
January 5th, 2014 at 1:21 PM ^
Outstanding work
January 5th, 2014 at 6:54 PM ^
Probably about captures the way the Stars D-Men felt this happened. Like the Coach always ssays "good things happen when you go to the net." Z got the first one that way last night.
