Datsyuk makes defenceman look foolish with spectacular head fake before sniping in KHL playoffs

The NHL playoffs are still a little while away, but itching to watch some playoff hockey can look to the KHL.

The team to watch is the defending champs, SKA Saint Petersburg, as their roster contains Olympic gold medalists and former NHLers Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk. 

On Monday, Saint Petersburg played game two of their quarterfinals series against Severstal and Datsyuk reminded the hockey world why he's still known as 'The Magic Man.'

That poor defender had no chance.  Zero.  Zilch.  None whatsoever.

Datsyuk made him look foolish and then sniped past the goalie for the highlight reel goal, one of this three so far in the series.  He has four total points in two games and his team has a 2-0 series lead.
