Henrik Zetterberg’s dressing room stall officially occupied

It’s slowly settling in more and more by the day; the end of Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg’s playing career. It was announced last month that the 37-year old veteran was calling it a career thanks to degenerative back problems that have plagued him over a few seasons now.

Since the announcement, Zetterberg’s stall in the dressing room was vacant, but that has officially ended. The Red Wings today assigned it to newcomer Michael Rasmussen. 

Rasmussen is among roughly four other young Red Wings players that could make their NHL debut on Thursday. Detroit will be playing against the Columbus Blue Jackets for their season opener. Let’s hope occupying Zetterberg’s old stall brings Rasmussen some good luck.

GOTTA SEE IT: Rugby player reacts to Pavel Datsyuk highlights

To the experienced viewer, hockey is an intense sport with meticulous strategy and very high levels of skill involved. But to a viewer on the outside looking in, hockey is just utter chaos. Grown men, many in excess of 200 pounds, flying at 20+mph at one another. Add to it flinging a piece of vulcanized rubber around each other at up to and over 100mph. We’ve grown used to this as avid viewers, but people such as rugby players for example, aren’t quite as seasoned. And when you witness them watching players such as former Detroit Red Wing Pavel Datsyuk, the result can be very entertaining.

Take Jacob McDonald, a rugby player from New Zealand who has very little knowledge of NHL hockey. (To the point that he says Datsyuk’s name as “Paven” multiple times). Taking advice from multiple people, he decides to watch a couple videos of Pavel from his career; he’s absolutely blown away, and the result is very entertaining.
