Pavel Datsyuk's KHL Adventures

After spending 14 seasons in the NHL, scoring over 900 points in 950 games and lifting 2 Stanley Cup Championships among his several other awards, on June 18th 2016, Pavel Datsyuk left the league for good and returned home to Russia. However, that doesn't mean his long and successful hockey career was over too. In fact, 'The Magic Man' has spent the last half a decade playing in the KHL where he has continued to produce solid scoring numbers and win his fair share of awards well into his early 40s.
Given that it's been a while since he last suited up in North America, I figured it would be fun to take a look at what the former 6th round draft pick has been up recently. So in today's video, join me as we take a look at Pavel Datsyuk's KHL adventures!

As a life long Wings fan, I miss Datsyuk. Wasnt mad at him or upset when he went home, am glad to hear he's still continuing to be the magic man into his 40's

[@evanwolf6677]

As a blues fan, I don't miss him at all. As a hockey fan, favorite player of all-time

[@les_teven]

jagr and datsyuk out here playing until their 60s possibly lol

[@rip_city_and_ptfc_fan]

Lol

[@huncho_jh]

Is jags still playing ? Haven’t seen his stats update on hockeydb

[@one7decimal2eight]

@@huncho_jh yes he is.

[@mp40submachinegun81]

@@huncho_jh yes. he owns HC Kladno of the Czech Extraliga and is playing for them, so he can essentially play as long as he wants. Its His hometown team aswell, has 12 pts in 19 games according to elite prospects.

*70s

[@sportsfix6975]

I only have 2 named jerseys, Yzerman and Datsyuk....it's april 2021, come back for half a season while your daughter is in school! We miss you! Best dangler ever!

[@treygray2817]

He was still a top NHL player in '15-'16. Offense had declined but defense was as good as ever.

[@diegoarmando5489]

Helluva a player and a helluva rival for my Penguins. I miss Datsyuk, Lidstrom, and our 2008 to 2009 duels. Meanwhile, Rangers have been losers since 94.

[@RageCityBiscuit]

Best years in hockey man. I was 11 years old and knew both of our entire teams (wings&penguins) by the numbers on their backs, and could tell you how every player got every goal on their chart that season.

[@giannimaroni607]

Favorite Player of All Time!!!

[@vvings9]

Datsyuk is my all time favourite player. Thanks for this video!

[@darkfall2004]

My favorite player of all time

[@Bendy237]

i would have loved to watch him play until the end of his hockey days, but the US wasnt his home. we were blessed to watch him play

[@viktorkarlsson6530]

Haha actually starting to get annoyed by the way he ends the last words in every sentence, “he went home to russiaaaaaaaa” “he was a good hockeyplayeeeeeeeeer” “He signed with Petersbuuuuuurg” “His wife and teenage daughteeeeeeeer”

[@Pauli99123]

I thought it was funny at first but definitely a little irritating after realizing he does it after every single sentence. Psycho vibes

[@SovietUnionn]

It just sounds fucking stupid.

[@horaceclarke2064]

I wonder if it’s intentional or natural. The more people point it out the more I notice it, it really is like dentisssstttttssss driiilll

[@KalmoK]

What about "But first..... THERE WAS A LOCKOOOUUUUUUUUUUUT!!" or how he stretch his What Happened To videos with stupid nonsense like saying player's stats from every year separately when he could just talk about couple of years in one and then talk about something interesting that happened to that player

[@sisingh3549]

He's britiiisshh

[@jonathandwilliams2885]

11 of the 29 in the triple gold club were on the Redwings between '95 and '10, the most dominant Redwings years. Since Howe played at least.

[@staceyserene2436]

things like this is why we now have a salary cap

[@curtisyuen6058]

Regardless I really waant that jersey from jerseyworld.ca

[@chrisphillips348]

He’s a member of the “Quintet Gold Group”. Stanley Cup, WC Gold, Olympic Gold, Super League Cup, and Garmin Cup! The first & only member

[@lekcindr]

one of the best two-way players all-time

[@matturibe5256]

I think the best regardless of Bergeron winning all the selkes he wasn't even in the same class defensively. I never understood how he won so many selkes. I guess that's what happens when the magic man left.

[@drucifer83314]

Liked before I watched👍

[@matturibe5256]

I met people who were so upset that he left but they no idea what he was going through. Its all about family first. The magic man will always be the best two way player I ever have seen. HOFER soon. I think with out a doubt!!

[@ATF1985]

Miss him in Detroit , loved him

[@highmarshalsigismund2036]

Great content, as always man!

[@lordofwar1441]

Hopefully when he finally retires he can become a scout for the Wings

[@HousewolfDaddy]

Stickhandling coach*

[@juhaleskinen7383]

Imo Datsyuk is one of those players, that if he doesn't have good season, he will prove in the next one, that he can be good. Many players should learn from that attitude.

[@curtisyuen6058]

Regardless I really waant that jersey from jerseyworld.ca

[@JaredtheRabbit]

Datsyuk is the Russian Jagr

[@asyaann]

Datsyuk is Datsyuk. Magicman

[@coryernewein]

I've been waiting for this episode since you got your Jersey

[@KalmoK]

Datsyuk doesn't want to go to the KHL All-Star games, it's not like they didn't ask him. They really did, but he didn't want to wore off his body too much.

[@primoznovak8093]

Who is the magic man? Was lucky to saw him play against Zagreb in the KHL

[@reggrez8256]

His nickname in the NHL

[@primoznovak8093]

@@reggrez8256 I know , there is a video where his teammate asks Alexa, "Alexa who is the magic man?", and she answers Datsyuk.

[@Kingkveldulf]

Awesome video! Keep up the great work!

[@tylerwharper]

Let's go!!!!

[@diegoarmando5489]

Reminds me of the beginning of Don Cherry's podcast. Am I the only French Canadian socialist who finds Cherry entertaining as fuck?

I wonder if he'll end up coaching after hanging up the skates.

[@deathtoluke]

I like how you finish your SENtenceeessssss. Also nice VIDeoooooooo

[@jonnybardownski9619]

I’m not the only one who saw shesterkin In the cup photo right?

I'm sure Pavel is well compensated by Gazprom, who owns SKA, but I hope he turned those rubles into Euros in some Swiss account.

[@kd9899]

The Grugaren Cup!

OUCH! He just took his "C" like that? That's fucked up.

How many ads do you need on a video god damn

[@robertschumacher6227]

I tried. I really tried. Datsyuk could dangle a puck and here you are dangling sentences.

[@thatonelonghairedguy764]

Datsyuk vs the khl isnt even fair lmao

[@mggailitis7231]

Datsyuk may or may not have been extorted by the Russian mob.

Why do you hold your words so dam long

[@alexandertrent]

Dramatic effect

[@christophernovo5403]

Why do you drag the last word of every sentence like stop lol it’s cringe 😂

[@highwaymaintainer]

Loved him, but walked out of his last year, lost all respect, he’s old now, enjoy trying to find the fountain of youth........you won’t

[@matturibe5256]

Bro, use your brain what is more important a career that he made all the money he needed and not being home with the ones he loved. I mean either you don't know the meaning of family or just being an ass. Because I did the same thing and I was in the military where you do not have the luxury but since I did so well, they sent me home for my last year and a half. God, I wonder how you treat your family!!! Get over it!!! Will see him in the HOF next year!!! I hope after two years you stopped whining over this. Better yet ask yourself this, you have a wife and kid who you don't see all year. How would you feel? Why do you think Holland and the organization let him leave and wished him well. Obviously you either don't have a family or your just cold af.
