Imagine how good you have to be to make to the NHL first of all, now imagine turning these elite players inside out like Datsyuk can. Truly one of a kind player, best ever in my book.

I think what people don't understand, is datsyuk was the best two way center ever to play the game, with leading the league multiple times for take aways to some of the nastiest breakaways/shootouts. The league now is much faster pace but let me know another center like that, doesn't matter how many goals you score. Datsyuk indeed has the best hands in hockey

I firmly believe that Datsyuk is the second most cerebral player in the history of the league (we all know who takes the top spot).

Aves fan, still mad red wings got datsyuk

Where's my kleenex? I laugh so hard that I end up crying when a Datsyuk reel is cued up. As one guy observed: "This looks like a cartoon!" One of a kind player. So glad we have this recorded for the ages! Cheers!

Mario & Wayne each were great Pavel could stretch a shift

I always tell people that he is the best hockey player ever. Others scored more, assisted more, but he did everything. Best all round player and a pleasure to watch.

i think he's the best hockey player ever. detroit is a team i'm not a fan of too. the stats aren't there, but i'd be willing to bet, theres not a player in the history of hockey that would beat him 1v1.

who does McDOOGLE play for

best in his own right

FANTASTIC player

I'm not learning anything from this video. This video would be better if it was about video instead of pictures

He was one of the BEST players taking penalty shots. It was really fun watching him play.

There will never be another Nail Yakupov.

The best player that ever lived, easily. It's very obvious.

Every once in a while you'll see people do moves that were inspired by Pavel but absolutely *nobody* has his natural instinct which made it look easy.

Datsyuk was amazing....but dont EVER mention him in the same breath as McDavid again. Thx -Hockey

I agree there isn't a player like him for sure. Aleksander Barkov is probably the only modern day equivalent showing flashes of that skill. He's also not the fastest but so deceptive with movements, creativity, skill and always finding that space and time and finding players with amazing passes.

Normally I'm against all that high-tech medical stuff like - "cloning" - but, uh, in Datsyuk's case I think I'd make an exception. I'd love to see another new Pavel play the game - but I truly doubt that I ever will.

I am a Redwing fan forever and we were so blessed to him

One of the most impressive goals he scored doesn’t show up on most highlights but I remember him scoring this goal twice. Coming down the wing with a near impossible angle he scored on a backhand n the more memorable one i remember he put it FAR SIDE corner.

Datsyukian - When your moves are so amazing beyond reason, the only way to describe them is datsyukian. (С) Urban Dictionary

Kutcherov reminds me of him

Great video. I’m glad you didn’t only show the plays resulting in goals.

There are those that say that it took an entire tree just to make the blade of Datsyuk´s stick.

I can’t recall another time I saw a highlight where a person entered the zone carrying the puck straddling the line. Pulls it back outside the zone and re-enters immediately on attacks. Hockey player conditioning is once past line, get puck deeper. You don’t see this move at all.

Bossy, Bure and Datsyuk.. Insane

Lol why upload this audio? I lost count of how many times you said “I don’t know what to say” lol 🤪

Pavel Datsyuk is the most talented hockey player to ever grace the game. Gretzky, not even Lemieux have anything on this guy in terms of pure natural all around talent. There is a reason why they are called Datsyukian dekes and that there is no such thing as Lemieuxrian dekes. Lemieux was a great deker but he never really invented any special moves, he was just really good at executing existing standard dekes.

I remember even in EA NHL on PS he was amazing. I would ALWAYS trade for him !!!

Question time: is #13 worthy of being in the rafters of Little Caesars Arena?

Also continue that to about 2010. Now the game is too corporate and fans are secondary. Mc David didn't even consider the loyal fans when not coming back to the ice to get the conne Smythe from bettman in Florida. Back on the pond we'd call that a cry baby 👶

I was a teenager n goalie late 80's and early 90's. BEST HOCKEY 🏒 PLAYERS EVER. HOCKEY WITH HEART FIRST, THEN MONEY 💰.

Did Peter forsberg have similar awareness as Datsyuk 🤔

The Magician!!! First round HOF, without a doubt.

The Magic Man as he is

❤❤❤ My all time favorite!!

Every game? Every shift he would do something next level. Dood was different.

2 Stanley Cups

What’s great is that the Red Wings also had a player named ‘The Professor’. I was definitely spoiled being born in 1990 growing up watching the Wings.

You talk about Datsyuk the same way i talk about Konstantinov. Vlady may not have scored any goals; he did own his zone. As a Detroiter im proud they both wore the sweater. Side note: Living that close to Windsor..CBC hockey rules!!

Datsyukian I believe is the word

The man is the highest level of seminal poetry.

Datsyuk would do at least 1 thing per game where u would go "WTF these are nhl players he's doing this against"..... and it was always some new sorcery. One of one. Barkov is probably the closest thing to him right now in terms of his 2 way play, but nobody has played with his level of wizardry. Hard to explain to people that didn't watch him live. Miss watching him play.

PD is more of a wizard than Harry Potter.

1:16 Is the best play I have ever seen. The passing, the moving. Such an easy goal at the end of the day but what a play between two great Players. The Euro Twins. We were spoiled in Detroit.

I think all the greats had ice vision Mario Wayne McDOOGLE Crosby and others
