High IQ player, always aware of everything, the way he was able to pick pocket everyone or shadow them in a way they’d never even see him behind them, combined with his skating ability and quick hands/wrist shot, dude was a shark in a pond of fish.

[@cyanide187]

I so miss watching Datsyuk play. I remember his rookie years thinking man this is someone to watch. Those first couple seasons where he was basically just a call up when a spot needed to get filled. QUICKLY got center stage and holy hell every game was so much fun to watch! Have never before or since seem someone better. McDavid is unreal but Datsyuk was just on a different level season after season!

[@user-jp9dm4sh8r]

Посмотри ещё видео с Харламовым. Там тоже волшебник был и один мог всю команду обыграть.

[@puckplayer219]

Likely the player with the highest pure skill level I've ever seen play the game. I grew up a Blackhawks fan in Chicago, but Datsyuk was always one of my favorite players to watch. His puck control, his poise, his hockey IQ...he was innovative and dangerous every time he touched the ice. What an absolute joy to watch. Every goal on this list, if it were scored by another player, it would likely be their single best goal ever scored. Datsyuk was just different. An artist on skates.

He brought a style to the game, for stickhandling and deking, that was silky smooth, and allowed players growing up to model themselves after. He’s the stickhandling and deking GOAT.

The problem with the Red Wings was they had ao many players from Europe and mostly USSR. We in America never realized how important winning the league was compared to the playoffs. Europeans find the league title, rhe entire years body pf work was more important than a best of 3,5,7 game series where a hot goalie or injuries can change the outcome. They grew up watching soccer and hockey which didn't have playoffs. Ibe read about numerous times. I realize Patsou was past most of this thinking but the early R Wings trams that had players from that USSR wagon had that thought (at least I've been told by former players, coaches this was truth )

Goosebumps!

Паша - бесконечная легенда хоккея💪💗 Go Wings!

I'm privileged to grow up watching this magician

[@jamesjones999]

That man is a legend. This is coming from a Penguins fan.

[@terryabeare7147]

Datsyuk, imo, was the best 2 way player of the 21st centery. 2 Cups, 4 or 5 Selke awards, multiple Lady Bing awards. What made him stand out was his defensive play.

[@WarmothGuitarist]

He won three Selkes, but should have had 7 or 8. He was the best puck thief and defensive forward in the world for most of his career.

[@fastacelzapacescu5445]

Really, he was a very good defender too ?!

[@rostharan]

Him and Bergeron. Simply world class players.

[@outsider9325]

@@rostharan . Ahaha. Bergeron is a good player. But with all due respect to him, he doesn't care about a wizard like the moon. It's not even worth comparing them. Because Pavel was also a great striker and scored a lot of points. And Bergeron has never even scored 80 points

[@rostharan]

@@outsider9325 Treu true, nothing to say against that, Datsuk is the most complete player the NHL had imo. Wasn't he also undrafted.. lol

[@cantthinkofaname7247]

Made it look so easy! We miss the magic man

[@michaelperkins739]

Hated when he left Detroit. A Fantastic Player!

Пашу можно смотреть вечно! Это "Волшебник с шайбой"! ОДИН, как пол-команды! Супер-Игрок!

Thanks, Sportsnet! It's Magic!

My God. This man is beautiful.

Wow,obsolutely stunning he is indeed a magician

[@user-ix7qi5st2f]

На три вещи можно смотреть вечно, на огонь, воду и на то, как играет Павел Дацюк!

[@brandons9138]

Any true hockey fan knows that Datsyuk in his prime was the best player in the NHL, if not the world. Neither Sidney Crosby or Ovechkin could match his 200 foot game.

[@glenngouldschair390]

Well, yeah on the ice statistically, no

[@brandons9138]

@@glenngouldschair390 It just depends on what stats you are looking at. Pavel Datsyuk Career +/- he is a +249 in 14 seasons. Sidney Crosby in 17 years +196. Ovechkin in 17 years is a +79. Take aways: Datsyuk 754. Crosby 530. Ovechkin 575. Give aways: Datsyuk:380 Crosby:759 Ovechkin:865 There is a more to hockey then just scoring goals. Datsyuk's defensive prowess plus his dangerous scoring ability made him a more complete player than Crosby or Ovechkin. Players when asked about the best player in the NHL at the time cited Datsyuk as the best in the league. The one guy you did not want to see skating up the ice with the puck, or the guy you didn't want hounding you for the puck on his defensive end. I'd much rather have a team of Datsyuks than a team of Crosbys or Ovechkins.

[@CorruptInsurgence]

@@brandons9138 LOOOOOOOOL ahh yes let’s just look over the fact that Datsuyk played with beyond stacked teams and played a majority of his career with the BEST DEFENSIVE DEFENSEMEN OF ALL-TIME.

[@brandons9138]

@@CorruptInsurgence Both Gretzky and Lemieux played on stacked teams as well. Crosby has played on teams that I would consider pretty stacked. Ovechkin gets the short end of the stick in that regard. It's a shame that the Capitols haven't been able to put a better team around him. Gretzky himself even called Datsyuk one of the best players he's ever seen. Datsyuk's contemporaries repeatedly named him as one of the most dangerous players in the game. His multiple Byng and Selke trophys attest to his greatness as an individual player. I will agree that Lidstrom was the best defenseman to play the game, so at least you got that right.
