To beat the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference semifinals, the Blackhawks must find a way to shut down Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Hawks forward Marian Hossa says Datsyuk is as dangerous as they come in the NHL. "He's one of the biggest talents I ever played with," Hossa said. "We have to be careful when he's on the ice because he can make the difference."
