Zetterberg and Datsyuk or Yzerman and Fedorov?

Are people not reading the OP or are you just blinded by nostalgia?

This is quite obviously Dastyuk and Zetterberg. Any other answer just confirms you're not sure about the question at hand.

It's closer considering the years given, but how is it obvious? To start, 3 Cups to 1.

Datsyuk homers are the worst.

So are nostalgia-thumpers

Yzerman won a Selke over Fedorov in this time frame. That shouldn't happen if Fedorov is playing at anywhere near the mythical level people usually ascribe to him in their minds. Also, Zetterberg's 2008 season + playoffs > any of Yzerman and Fedorov's runs in this time frame, then you pair him with a guy who won the Selke and was 4th in scoring two years in a row.

Any era of Fedorov while he was a Detroit Red Wing automatically is superior. Dude is arguably one of the top 10 F's to ever play the game, if you discount his playing time post-Detroit. Putting that with Yzerman is just vastly superior. I love Zetterberg and Datsyuk, but I would think even they would say it's not even a close argument.

ETA: Also...3 Cups during that "Dead Puck Era" to Zetterberg/Datsyuk's 1 during their era.

Aren’t they the same thing at this point?
