    Detroit Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg joked that his linemate, Pavel Datsyuk, cost himself a chance at winning another Lady Byng Trophy by fighting Anaheim's Corey Perry on Friday night.

    Jimmy Howard said Datsyuk is deceptively strong. Johan Franzen said seeing Datsyuk throw punches was "unbelievable.''

    Coach Mike Babcock was just relieved his star center didn't break his hand during the Red Wings' dominant 4-0 season-opening victory against the Ducks at Joe Louis Arena.

    They were all impressed by the way Datsyuk handled himself against the bigger Perry, who picked a fight at 7:41 of the third period and ended up getting dropped along the boards.
