When you think of what the Red Wings have long been built on, it’s the “every-dayer” as former head coach Mike Babcock coined. When you think of what the model Red Wings style of play is, it’s always been about playing both ways... And when you think of who filled that mold seamlessly, it has long been Henrik Zetterberg.
It’s absurd that Henrik Zetterberg never won a Selke Trophy, and then when you really think about it, it’s even more absurd that Pavel Datsyuk won it three years in a row in Hank’s prime years.
