Zetterberh waits FOREVER before firing the shot and beating Holtby.

This is the kind of patience you're only likely to see from a veteran like Henrik Zetterberg.

The Detroit Red Wings captain left Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby looking back over his shoulder in disbelief on Thursday night after Zetterberg waited him out for what appeared to be long past the point that would allow him to score.

It only seemed that way however, and after showing incredible patience Zetterberg tucked a backhand just over the arm of Holtby to record a truly beautiful goal.

Here it is live and on replay.
