I’ll never forget watching this series in total awe at the alien level skill pavel Datsyuk portrayed. My goodness I have never seen a more talented and perfect hockey player in my life. This series was so memorable. Pavel Datsyuk was unfair; there should be another league for him because this kind of talent exceeds the NHL. I love this dude

[@bvb2652]

Pavel probably has the greatest highlights without scoring

[@Sfdjdhrh]

And setting up the many 4rth line players they stuck him with

[@Nikko-zi3ti]

and then completely breaking the defensive ankles and scoring

[@token6274]

Yes sir I agree. Best puck handling player ever

[@chingasofarkaso]

Often his brilliance was in his subtlety and patience. He was a master.

[@Metagalaktik]

Наша легенда, самый изобретательный хоккеист, гордимся

[@thenickfoxx]

Those playoffs bred one hell of a line with Datsyuk, Franzen and Holmstrom. What a beefy line.

[@GabrielHeidler]

As good as Dats was, and as much as we all love him and his highlights, this was legitimately the time when he was arguably the best player in the world. Not for his fun dangles, not for his fancy moves, but for his ability to control and read a game, taking it to levels that no one else could. This was around the time Chara picked him first overall in the All Star game. Other players in the league understanding and recognising how good he was.

[@victorbjorn2109]

Agree! He had an ultra-modernized soviet hockey style. I can imagine a team that would refuse Ovechkin or even Malkin, but no one would refuse Datsyuk. And he's a great person off the ice too. Miss him so much!

[@monarh3242]

Самый техничный и самый умный хоккеист всех времён!

[@danglesnipecelly13]

Every time Datsyuk stepped on the ice he was always noticeable. And then every here and there he’d have a game where he was just absolutely dominate every shift he was out there. Whether he scored or not he was always contributing some way some how. I still think to this day people who didn’t watch wings game regularly or that much don’t understand how good Datsyuk was. He didn’t win all the awards but man he was damn good and super competitive. even players said back then he was the hardest player to play against.

[@Qrath]

Он выиграл Все награды! Посмотри список

[@datsyukthemagicman5735]

Man do i ever miss this Datsyuk, young, fast, always on the puck or on the guy whose got it. The king of takeaways with the silkiest hands ive ever seen, ill never forget watching this guy tear it up throughout my entire childhood + early teens, even last year he was only 1 pt behind Zetterberg for team lead with like 10 less gp... Legend... sad to have to see him retire, but happy to have all the memories and highlights of his outstanding career.

[@benxvariety8878]

He was once called the pickpocketer

[@hepbhblehot8237]

Извините, но...... Он еще не вышел на пенсию!)) Играет в КХЛ.

[@crawlFace]

Everyone has their players who inspire and wow us. For me and most folks here at this vid- Datsyuk unlocked perspectives and visions of how to play, playmake and navigate the game. Mastery, vision and IQ like this not only inspires but teaches. Man Detroit had some great teams.

[@danieloceans9652]

The magic man! The best and most underrated player ever!

[@trekka69]

5:47 is probably the coolest thing I've seen in hockey

[@Quintaxos]

You and me both! Such a slick move

[@derkov]

He is a wizard of wizards in hockey .. Forever in my memory!

[@jeffreydean5112]

Datsyuk has better non scoring highlights than any other player has actually scoring

[@thenickfoxx]

I've never seen a team be able to move the puck around like the Red Wings did from 95-2012.

[@MegaSomnium]

Паша- ГЕНИАЛЬНЫЙ хоккеист!

[@xentricityy8832]

Give me prime Datsyuk over prime Crosby any day. Wings fans may never see a player as creative and skilled as him ever again. Hoping I'm wrong, though. He was do fucking legendary.

[@treygray2817]

it seemed Pavel aged very well and his prime stretched until his early 30s. interested to see how well Crosby ages

[@danieloceans9652]

Agreed! Anyway Crosby only wins when his team is stack through the ceiling smh Crosby ain't as good in the playoffs. His +\- is dodo

[@musicclassic5938]

Crosby is very talented, but he is a bit too straightforward, not asly old fox like Datsyuk.

[@owensmetham7065]

[@ericb.8023]

@@owensmetham7065 agreed, Datsyuk has better puck handling skills, but Crosby has better skating, IQ, playmaking, passing, and leadership. His 2 olympic gold medals (should have been 3) don't look too bad either.

[@bobbrooks4185]

The Magic Man, for sure. Never watched a game he played in without repeatedly laughing out loud as he completely befuddled opponents. The best ever.

[@dcfire2222]

I am a Hawks fan, but Datsyuk is the best! I have his jursey.

[@deBebbler]

A human highlight reel. Loved watching him play.

[@mrhyd388]

Seriously the best performances from him was in the playoffs from 08-11. Really glad I got to enjoy this man and his greatness.

[@commandershepard1838]

The spin at 5:46 is so subtle but still insanely good and to think of that on the fly is genius level creativity

[@gamersxs]

Unbelievable. Should be a show tonight.

[@lemonade5645]

That man is just so good at hockey it's almost a joke

I can only dream of being able to see another player with the finesse that Datsyuk has.

[@19stalkern]

Not sure what was more amazing to watch; his passing or his stick work..... Truly the Barry Sanders of Hockey.

[@tccs7]

I was thinking the Pistol Pete Maravich of hockey. Filthy moves like nobody has seen before or since. It's not that other players can't perform the moves, but Pavel regularly did the things other guys joke around with in practices.

[@stellaspoochpitfeaturingro3522]

Oh no, do not compare the best hockey player in the world to some guy who would probably be kneeling for the anthem........

[@lancealrick6898]

@@stellaspoochpitfeaturingro3522 You're way out of tune here, guitar dude, Barry and Pavel played the same way, intense, clean, with the highest skill and imagination. Barry never even spiked the ball after scoring, he'd just flip it to the nearest ref.

Until his injuries caught up with him in 2012 or so, he was the best player in the world.

How many times has Crosby led the league in take-aways? And won the Selke trophy? Datsyuk sacrificed to become a great all-around player, like Yzerman before him.
