Agree, I can just watch Datsyuk's shootout move forever.
Edler's move was more like a stall. Waited for the goalie to make the first move and go out of position, put on the brakes, popped it in an open net. He almost got poked checked though.

Datsyuk's just so smooth, it totally makes the goalie look foolish for even trying. No chance for the goalie.
You've seen similar moves to his many times, with the player backhand roofing it. But the way how Datsyuk keeps it forehand the whole time is what impresses me.
I just realized Raymond's spinaround move doesn't maintain a forward motion throughout the whole way. Was the rule supposed to be that you had to be in forward motion the whole shootout or
only until a certain point? I'll imagine it hard to do a 360 spin with a pivot point in motion though.
