Hossa's goal last night was another for the highlight reel. It was a 5-on-3. Hossa got the puck just outside the blueline and then just exploded through two defense, blew right by them with an amazing burst of speed, got between the circles and blasted it over LaBarbera's glove.

Other than last year's playoffs, when he and Crosby were by far the best players on the ice for the Penguins, I haven't really seen too much of Hossa. Over the last 4 or 5 games he's been stellar. His goals are things of beauty. I don't think there's any realistic way the Wings will be able to keep him Zetterberg and Franzen, but it'd be sweet if they can.
