Pavel Datsyuk, stay-at-home defenseman?

You've got to to love The Tennessean's headline this morning over their coverage of last night's game in Detroit (from the Associated Press, as they didn't send Josh Cooper along).
"Detroit defenseman overwhelms Preds", followed by "Datsyuk shows his rare offense". This, despite the fact that Datsyuk (one of the NHL's elite centers) has scored between 27 and 32 goals for each of the last six seasons. And by comparison, for the last seven seasons, he's had more total points than that year's leading Nashville Predator.
Maybe the whole "We Want Crosby" thing was just the start of a fun new trend in sports writing?

The Tennessean is really having some headline problems aren't they?

They forgot to mention how left fullback Nicklas Lindstrom added two assists.

Great....
More fodder for traditionalists to say people in the south don’t know anything about hockey.
Gonna be honest
I never read the paper, so I didn’t get the “we want crosby” thing. Then I read the article and I really didn’t remember anyone chanting we want crosby during the game, and then I remembered the score…

I don’t read the POS either – but besides contect errors, and all that I think they can’t hear either – in the Pens game, the Pred’s racked up 3 goals in Regulation – and the 4th goal, means Frosty’s are a treat (the 4 for Frosty’s promotion) – I wasn’t at that game, but I’m sure the crowd was chanting – We Want Frosty’s, but the boneheads who wrote that piece through the crowd was chanting We Want Crosby …
The Tennessean
.. is a terrible paper. I had hopes that we’d have a bit better coverage of the Preds with Josh on board, but it looks like they have their typical crappy reporting.
Well...
Not defending the Tennessean here but I have to wonder if the limited resources of newspapers in this day and age has something to do with not sending a reporter to follow Preds road games?
Whether it’s a factor or not, this is a poor piece of work.
