The Detroit Red Wings are really bad. This kid appears to be really good. Detroit hardly scores any goals. Albeit these are just shoot-out goals, this kid scores goals. Not only does this kid score goals, but this kid is already on the first team all-hands team at age 14!
This isn't a Red Wings slander blog either. It's just me simply stating that a 14-year old would probably be able to contribute to a 12 win hockey team. The Red Wings have a lot of likable guys with upside but as a team they blow. Nobody plays defense and Jimmy Howard kinda sucks now. Hear me out here though, this Jr. Predator, Tyler Bertuzzi and Dylan Larkin all on a lone together? I think we would be looking at a lot goals.
The puck control needed to pull this deke off is something that a lot of adults wouldn't be able to do. Have to imagine that he's spent hours on this at practice and in the driveway. Look at the goalie, he's got no clue what is going on, that's just how good this deke is.
I am in love with this deke, mainly because I couldn't pull this off myself. I played hockey up to the bantam level and my go to move was always the Gordon Bombay double-deke, nothing close to this. Just the pure filth that this kid has is crazy to me, dare I say Datsuyk-esque moves? Presently the Red Wings could use him but at this rate they should be able to draft him #1 in a year or two. Please now enjoy 10 minutes of Pavel Datsuyk highlights and remember better times of Red Wings hockey.
