[@MrPapasvhilly]

Watching Hull and Datsyuk play together is a treat

[@sergeyKN115]

Мне больше нравится Дацюк и Зетенберг))

[@ORagnar]

Datsyuk with those mazing movies and Hull with that howitzer. But, the truth is, Hull and Oates were the best combination. 5/3/22, 7:41 p.m.

[@da3dpanepma255]

Hull, with his experience, takes a position at the far post and Datsyuk collects the entire opponent's team and gives a pass to an empty net.

[@chemicalbrother7613]

And he was just getting started...To get a legend like this at an overall 171 draft pick - is a definition of great luck in sports management.

[@svetlomirivanov9624]

Just how good is he on reading the game !! His passes, the stolen pucks, his clever play in defense … man! … and than you look at his skills with the hands, his skating, those shots and goals … his brain is as fast , as the light. Every little move hi makes on the ice is pure joy and says you : “That is Talent, Talent and more of that Talent!”.

[@arkadyyablokov9158]

Amazing hockey intelligence. Phenomenally fast hands. Absolutely unpredictable on the ice. An absolute genius...

[@glettnile2603]

Goal #7 is poetry in motion

[@vicdamon3551]

This team was stacked

[@rainick]

"I think he may do this again" Damn bruh he was right.

[@airfoilengine3799]

A God among men. Hasn't gotten the full credit he deserves. A defensive masterpiece of offensive brilliance.

[@dftns19]

I realize now that I took for granted how amazing Datsyuk was as a rookie.

[@teddyjun1]

He was only logjammed by future HoFs such as Fedorov, Yzerman, Igor. Also dont forget Kris Draper.

[@tomace194]

Easily distracted with like 10 hall of fame players. But he snuck up on us. I'd do anything to go back to his rookie season and have another full career of him.

[@michaelwhitaker9719]

As did I.

[@YakSa86]

I remember how in 2002, people in my high school used to say that Ilya Kovalchuk had the most amazing dekes at the time. As a Wings fan, I told all of them: "The rookie Datsyuk has the best dekes. You may not agree now but you'll see later." ... Most of them didn't know who Datsyuk was, so they disagreed with me but nowadays, those very same people are saying that Datsyuk has the most amazing dekes ever. Sadly, none of them remembered what I said about Datsyuk in 2002............................. DAMN IT. When the whole "I told you guys about Datsyuk having the best dekes over Kovalchuk back in 2002" can't sound credible just because none of them remembered anything about what I said in 2002...

[@dronlaa]

Best hands ever and skating and intellect.

[@SaveTheManuals]

Easily one of the greatest of all time, on and off the ice. Thank you for these memories.

[@token6274]

All my favorite players are from the late 80’s-mid 2000’s wings. Yzerman, Sheppard, lidstrom, shannahan, Russian 5, McCarty ,Lapointe, Draper, maltby. What a great era to be a wings fan

[@hockeyfan131993]

I miss him so f*cking much. I never took him for granted but man his time flew by. I miss this.

[@aceventuraify]

With highlights like this it’s hard to believe he only had 35 points that year

[@brandons9138]

It's funny on his first goal the announcer say "they don't come any prettier than that". Datsyuk says "wanna bet?"

[@kylecupp9649]

I'm convinced he could see into the future

[@RockWillkeepOnRollin]

Hull & Datsyuk together...how could you ever go wrong!

[@alexandersuvorov9299]

Magic Man! Wonderful skills from Pavel Datsyuk

[@slydogg616]

He was complete player! Excellent on face offs and tremendous defensively

[@helmedon]

Amazing especially considering he sat several times his rookie season. Most players, even late into his career underestimated his physical play. He would either sidestep a hit or deliver a hit before the opponent could. Probably the best defensive forward I've seen play. How many steals did he have in his NHL career? His rookie year was probably the best Red Wings team ever, possibly the best NHL team ever. If not for the roster full of HOF players he never would have sat out a game.

[@airfoilengine3799]

The THIEF. Pickpocket beyond belief.

[@AviLOrkQ]

Won my pool that year because of that amazing youngster!

[@JK.Palomba]

As a Michigan man just getting into the sport... I really wish i paid more attention to this sport back then. I missed out on a LOT of great hockey over the years.

[@maksim82tallin]

The legend. He is on top 3 in 2003-2015

[@timomomomo969]

Imagine stepping into the premiere league in the world as a kid from another country, and finding yourself on an even plane with some of the best players in Red Wings history.

[@jeffmontville7360]

Great video,Datsyuk very worthy of top 100...

[@TheSmoulo]

i miss my boy pavy :(

[@CycoSven69]

Same here.

[@temmy69]

omg! how many clutch goals and assists he delivered! CLUTCH

[@konstantinkorsunov1403]

Наш волшебник..

[@gregory06]

The most jaw-dropping part of this video wasn't anything to do with Datsyuk, but when Ken Daniels says that boyd devereaux was drafted 6th overall...

[@awood40]

Extremely weak draft class in 1996 - www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl1996e.html

[@mangrove]

@@awood40 Zdeno Chara went 56th overall. Useful players like Sami Salo, Willie Mitchell and Tomas Kaberle went in the final two rounds. Wallin might have been serviceable were it not for that bad car wreck.

[@robjohnson5872]

I really enjoyed the hits that you included in this. Pavel could be a crushing hitter when he wanted and earlier in his career he had a bit of an attitude to go with it. I seem to remember him hitting Pronger in the corner with his patented back up hit that leveled Pronger and left him on his duff gasping for air. I think Pavel has the best hands I've ever seen.

[@tomastatar21hunnitelitefor30]

Shame that he retired early but glad I followed in the footsteps. Thanks for everything Pavs! #TATS

[@attan5127]

He's still playing.

[@vt5625]

If I could like it twice I would

[@lbjmedia2151]

It funny to listen to they way they talk about Datsyuk. Kind of knowing what the future is going to entail, kind of figuring him out in real time.

[@aldenkajy3087]

9:15 holy crap 59 shots on goal!?

[@ghoulie11]

4:22 You want to talk about another gear, look at that acceleration.

[@jacksonpugh1179]

Thank you for this

[@rslbach]

Great video! Thanks awood!

[@Jim-yh5uj]

Devereaux was eating steak every night that season.

[@81OH4Z4RD]

Thanks for digging these up. Been watching your vids a long time and you earned my sub

[@NicLovin]

Worthy of being in the Top 100, don't know why people say he shouldn't be there smh

[@SolidPain6624]

Nic Lovin because all people look at these days are stats and people don't know that stats don't tell the whole story. If u watch Datsyuk on a game by game basis he's a top 3 two way forward of all time... probably the best in my eyes but I'm a little bias

[@klompsauce]

The argument starts at 10, best two-way player ever, incredibly creative, a generational talent.

[@TheyoungZidane]

Best player of all time in my opinion, and I’m a maple leafs fan.

[@AviLOrkQ]

Anybody who says that know shit about hockey. Datsyuk is top 50 in my book. And i don't even like the Wings

[@Fitplayer66]

He's in my opinion the best player in the league from 2005-2013. I have him in my top 50 of all time.

[@Loompius]

of course his first NHL goal is a backhand

[@olegfetisov3841]

Легенда 💪

[@valvlad3176]

No touble guys. I meant look at his stick. The rest is up to you.

[@dudefood825]

Damn awood you're a machine. Nice work as always.

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

Glory on ice, those Red Wings teams. When the announcer is calling out three or four legendary names on a single play, goals are almost a foregone conclusion.

[@ecarvalh2]

Can you believe this was his ROOKIE season????

[@KingMudkip]

8:15 the pass off the back of the goal in insane

[@user-uh8hb1ep6v]

Столько игрового интеллекта я только в Что Где Когда видел.

[@slavashahanin954]

)))Внимание вопрос: Как поступить, если не знаете, что делать с шайбой? Досрочный ответ: Доверьте это Дацюку!!!)))

[@peterdragon6367]

That first clip looked like it was from the 80s

[@19stalkern]

Every team that year had to ask themselves “HOW THE F#%! DID WE PASS ON THIS GUY IN THE DRAFT?!?!?!?!?”

[@trl2828]

Nobody other than the Detroit Red Wings was scouting Europe or Russia at the time. It changed the whole scouting game, I mean him alone got every other team scouting Europe and Russia from that season on.

[@timmyjohnson1195]

@@biggbluh it’s LIDSTROM.

[@Turder]

Just how loaded the Red Wings were during that era

[@MrMp33420]

Dats. Period

[@michaellaughlin8457]

gonna be real amazing to land another guy like him in the league in 2021 but I think Stevie Y has got a few players who might get close 🤷👍

7:10 He flipped that faceoff to himself! What the fuck!?

[@lilj9395]

He shouldn't have retired 😭

[@randomperson8021]

No one is getting any younger :(

[@lilj9395]

True father time is undefeated

[@helmedon]

He didn't, he's playing in the KHL right now, captain of SKA Saint Petersburg. He wanted to play in his homeland before he retired.

[@hunterlindbert2679]

He wanted to return to his family

[@africaRBG]

Jesus christ, u forget this is a video of a rookie

Look at he stick. Imagine what we can do with a rifle. No spectatots expected though.
