Datsyuk Withdrawals are Officially Over

The long awaited return for Pavel Datsyuk is finally over.

Dan Cleary, who returned on February 2nd, welcomed his line mate back for the Red Wings game against the New York Rangers on February 7th. Datsyuk who was out with a broken hand, showed no signs of weakness as he “dangle-dangled” his way to a goal and assist.

His return has caused for a change of energy that is noticeable both on the ice with his teammates and off the ice with the fans. Players stuck in a ruck, like Jiri Hudler, had almost an immediate change in vitality. Even the atmosphere in Joe Louis Arena was filled with more liveliness than usual, similar to the energy during the playoffs.

The Red Wings and Hockeytown are certainly not the same without Pavel Datsyuk.
