Pavel Datsyuk Playoff Goals

[@NotExactlyKB]

Can we stop to appreciate how great a linemate Tomas Holmstrom was? Especially during the 2008 cup run, he made some great plays for D and Z in addition to his contributions in the corners and the net front.

[@klompsauce]

If that blue paint rule was changed in 1990 he’s have 85 more goals

[@latexiz7617]

He is the reason I once became red wings fan. It's been an honour to watch him play.

[@hockeyfan131993]

Latexiz Amen. Miss him.

[@Nix11999]

Same

[@user-kk1gj1uq9n]

That's why I am fan of Avtomobilist now.

[@user-mj7uv7tl5y]

Лучше игрока по скилам ещё не было и вряд ли будет надеюсь он будет тренировать молодых,тысячный раз пересматриваю,и каждый раз уею,легенда!!!!!!!

[@lucianzamfir9246]

The best player ever !

[@bibletime5605]

9:34 - Maybe the most underrated goal of all time. I remember dropping my jaw on that one.

[@chrisberger382]

That's still the best backhand goal I've ever seen

[@FlopBrosHockey]

I haven't watched yet. But I have a feeling ik exactly what one you're talking about. Against San jose?

[@ak40kevn]

Miss watching him play. I’m from philly too, but when he was in the league he was my favorite player to watch. Nothin better than catching a random game on nhl network in the middle of winter and watching him kill the canucks.

[@martinslauf6585]

Thank you Pavel for great memories... It was a blast.. '))

[@Foltz22]

Excellent video as always. I'm not the least bit ashamed to admit I cried. Pavel has been my favorite player his entire career.

[@dava8210]

He will be missed but he left at the right time.

[@dynjarren5454]

Whoa I'm #420...👍 Thank you Dats for years of greatness. Wish you could come back DRW would be unstoppable again.

[@aldenkajy3087]

Thanks for the memories Pav :')

[@wenca1352]

My favourite goal is at 9:34 I will never forget that... we needed to score badly and Magic Man delivered...

[@Penkills75]

Forreal. No one could ever repeat that top left backhand bardownski shot in the playoffs from that angle. Just impossible.

[@ak40kevn]

From a flyers fan, I was in awe when I witnessed that goal. Doc and pierres reaction are priceless.

[@irishock]

2011 playoff run was the highlight of his career

[@AndreMcPhail]

I'm going to miss you Pav. Happy travels.

[@johnstoner8515]

Im gonna miss the magic man

[@jeremiahberry1134]

Datsyuk is tough and played back in the day where it was a tougher league physically speaking

[@estondawson-baglien4796]

Brett Hull was my favorite of all time...then he was on a line with Datsyuk and I gradually had to change my mind.

[@orz9313]

Feel so honoured to have been able to watch him play with the Winged Wheel on his chest. Knew this day would come but just didn't think so soon... :( Go Wings

[@krisfrederick5001]

The most delicate, deliberate, dangerous and dominate player in a different way there ever was and will be. God broke the mold. So grateful to grow up as a Red Wing and get to meet him after a Stanley Cup parade, much later.

[@hondaaccord1971]

Best player ever

[@kdamann01]

it's pretty obvious Datsyuk will retire so thank you for this, their will never be another player like him

[@paullabrosse1033]

As always, great video! Keep up the good work and thanks for making these.

[@masternhl]

Unbelievable performance against Boston

[@jacksonpugh1179]

gonna miss him so much

[@waltershan7308]

The behind the back drag against Boston was the best goal ever!!😁😁😁

[@bibletime5605]

Great video, my friend. Well done. Clips are just the right length, it's good quality, and it's not accompanied by any ridiculous music. When Datsyuk rips the twine, I want to hear the crowd pop, not some rap music.

[@ckc1468]

thanks for making this video

[@Wladyslaw.Malenko]

Thanks

[@Yochillitsthatserious]

appreciate the video

[@FearMyRain]

I always wondered how teams managed to leave him wide open in so many situations. How do you not account for the most skilled player in the NHL being behind your entire team in that goal against the Yotes? Crazy

[@thefuckingweasel9924]

he sneaky

[@JakeMCGreen]

Club Modnar I agree 100%, but also (and this is not a knock on his ability or anything of that nature) he benefitted from playing with very dangerous linemates usually. People weren’t looking for Brett Hull to pass, usually it was a rocket. Devereaux being as good of a skater, Zetterberg’s versatility, Holmstrom causing havoc out front. Not to mention, like you said, Datsyuk is a silent killer. An absolute assassin. What the fuck am I going on about

[@danieloceans9652]

To me he is simple the very best

[@MrMcGiblets1]

Huge Datsyuk fan. He had maybe the best puck skills I've ever seen, I just don't understand why he wasn't more productive. He's just under a point per game player which is awesome, fantastic career, but when you think about how talented he was, it just doesn't make sense that he was only a 30 goal scorer 3 times and never a 100 pt scorer. He was just so fun to watch...the numbers don't match.

[@MrMcGiblets1]

...and a fantastic defensive forward. Best takeaway skills ever.

[@justplainbrad7713]

​@@MrMcGiblets1 With all of the Datsyuk's qualities listed, did you ever figure out why he didn't light the lamp more often? At first I puzzled at that point, then realized that you can't carry 1/3 of the Teams D on your back, and also score more often. I'm from the Gordie Howe era, and nobody will ever bump him from #1...in my books, and he also played both ends; but Pavel was a sight to behold, and still find myself smiling while watching his unbelievability unfold in clips...though I've seen it 20 times. Really saddens me that his equal is unlikely, in my time left. I'll always remember when Gordie retired from the Wings in 1971, a great piece of my hockey life left with him. Like a lot of old schoolers, Steve Yzerman brought me back to the seats, and Wings enjoyment...while Pavel totally captivated me. When Datsyuk left the Wings, the same rebuilt-piece was gone again...only this time, there will be no replacement for the *. [It's been 11 months, but if you admire Pavel, you should be receptive to a late reply]

[@MrMcGiblets1]

@@justplainbrad7713 Datsyuk hardly had to carry the team though. He was there for two cups and they had tons of talent. He was clearly a 200 ft player and defensively responsible but it just seems a bit odd.

[@bigdumbalien]

@@MrMcGiblets1 He preferred to pass and his shot was fairly weak in my opinion.He was also way too passive sometimes

[@bigdumbalien]

@@MrMcGiblets1 +less powerplay time than other superstars and lots of injuries (ruined his 2011 2012 2014 seasons)

[@lbjmedia2151]

I forgot 9:54 was a playoff goal. Unreal.

[@imsofly750]

10:20 was pretty amazing at the time

[@snaggiz]

That Gary Thorne commentary tho. God I miss him.

[@klompsauce]

The 1998 SCF against the Caps I think game 2 Kris Draper goal, can still hear it. I was hoping we’d get him and Bill Clement back when ESPN got the NHL broadcasts back

[@angeyturpin9037]

Pav 💜💜💜

[@21BN96]

8:23 Nabby and I had the same reaction (red wings are my second favorite team by the way)

[@Knards]

Few people could find the holes in a goalie like Federov and Datsyuk

[@waltershan7308]

The goal against Boston was the best.

[@michaelwhitaker9719]

RIP Dave Strader

[@helmedon]

11:36 Franzen was offside, lol...........Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lidstrom and Yzerman..we were spoiled in Detroit.

[@mustafanahhas6951]

if you have full possession its on side

[@mattzavislak6229]

can you do darren mccarty playoff goals?

[@awood40]

Missing a few goals.

[@benpelletier9780]

Any way you could do Zetterberg?

[@awood40]

Missing his first goal in '03 against Anaheim.

[@benpelletier9780]

Ahh okay I would still watch it but I understand if you don't want to. Either way, keep it up :)

[@awood40]

I'll do it someday even if I don't have the goal, but I'm gonna wait a little bit.

[@bibletime5605]

12:03 - Making Marchand look like a fool.

[@DirtyRC101]

He makes everyone look like a fool.

[@user-mj7uv7tl5y]

С таким игроком и такой командой,всего 2 кубка,жаль,могли и больше

[@user-ie5xn2vi6e]

Дацук лутший

[@npatt6362]

To think Datsyuk was ever a healthy scratch in his career gives me ridiculous confidence.

Turco hates Datsyuk lol

[@hansostlund4626]

Russian tops with great swedes around, a winning concept..

[@paulmartin6209]

:(

[@redwingsrules4919]

It`s sad he is too old now for playing in NHL. Crazy rumours that he can come back doesn`t impress much. Maybe One-Day Deal can be the best solution to reunion with organisation on new arena

[@vincentfortin19]

Ken daniels is the greatest
