There's More to the Story - Pavel Datsyuk

There's More to the Story - Pavel Datsyuk | Presented by Tim Hortons Cafe and Bake Shop | Hear from Pavel as he explains why he wears the #13, his hockey school in his hometown, the experience on being drafted, and what it means to be apart of the Red Wings

[@MrDMF567]

Pav is the best. Miss him. Once in a lifetime talent. Incredible.

[@Jabeefy]

In my opinion, he is the best in the world.

[@michaeljoseph8674]

He certainly is

[@ellaperl4174]

He is but Gordie Howe was more points

[@africaRBG]

@@ellaperl4174 yeah, sure. But you're comparing two completely different eras. Could u imagine the speed and skill of datsyuk in the 40s, 50s, and 60s?

[@ellaperl4174]

@@africaRBG I could but I do agree

[@Lynx-lh9it]

Most raw talent for sure. Not best all around though

[@gunnnervader7396]

He was and I think always will be the best all-around player in the NHL ever. People always say points, points. But this guy did it all and that is why he is on my number one list of all time. I don't think points makes a player the best ever. Its what they can do as a complete player. But to each there own.

[@dimasik870]

Просто человек ставил на первое место КОМАНДУ,а не голы/очки/рекорды Он мог в разы больше выбить,если бы он думал о статистике! В остальном я с вами согласен,это самый лучший универсал в истории хоккея!! Вот с таких людей надо брать пример,а не брызгать слюной,смотря как тупая офисная деревяшка за счёт партнёров штампует по пустым воротам🤮🤮🤮

[@karliecharbonneau9103]

Not only an outstanding player, but also a great person!! Love this man as a player and a person. He'll always be one of the best!

[@michaeljoseph8674]

He is the best period.. may not be greatest goal scorer ever be he is the most talented ever. Id take his skills over any other player alive or dead

[@HousewolfDaddy]

I hope he comes back to work as a front office guy, or coach or something. He’s a real class act. Like many of those greats, he embodies what it means to be a Red Wing.

[@spizzlo]

I miss him so much. Goodbye Pavel, goodbye playoffs.

[@rsimko]

If every sportsman was so humble. To me, he is the best.

[@puckdaddy59]

I never get tired of watching Datsyuk. I know there are many other players with more impressive stats but I don't believe any of them have any more skill than Pavel Datsyuk.

[@igorlobkovenko9480]

There are so many things that I loved about Pavel but the humility was tremendous. Even though he was insanely skilled he was also an excellent team player. I wonder if he even knows his stats. I hope I see him one day coaching at some level

[@Maxharddrive64]

He was like Barry Sanders on skates. Forever a hero in Detroit. It was an honor to watch him play. Those RedWing teams may have been in the top 5 all time best ever

[@cva9914]

[@19stalkern]

He may not be the greatest goal scorer ever (#99), or the greatest one-on-one player ever (#66), but he IS the most dazzling and amazing player I've ever seen in my life..... He does things that no other player has ever done..... When you can amaze Brett Hull, you know you're special. I know you're not retired yet, but thanks Pav.... thanks for the memories, and thanks for being a Red Wing... we love you!

[@hannahmariew]

19stalkern remember when he embarrassed no66 in his own arena pretty hilarious!

[@davidspelich8369]

Ugh...what I wouldn't give to watch a prime Datsyuk and a prime Bure play together. It would be just...amazing.

[@jackiedesmond6028]

Connor McDavid has entered chat

[@panaskartonov1282]

His differens from another players was that he never liked standard decision but nice and original one. It is like genius mathematic always try to find new and nice solution of task. That is a reason why we can see his videos endlessly.

[@beckett381]

I am literally in love with Datsyuk he is the best in the world I wish I could meet him he is the best and I’ve been a red wings fan all my life because of how good Datsyuk is the nhl wouldn’t be the same without him he is the best no question

[@bdbdkdfotbrveiw]

The NHL has gotten better since he left, not because he left. But because of the influence he had when he played.

[@jalphonso2]

We had the Great One, but I have never seen a better two way player then this guy!! Not even close!!

[@michaellaughlin8457]

There hasn’t been anyone close to his skill level since he left the game. !

[@kieferclarkf1674]

The goal against San Jose at 3:57 is filthy. That's born natural talent. Smartest, highest hockey IQ of all time. He was, and still is a true magician on the ice. There will never be another Pav. His style, talent, personality, he's just the greatest.

[@747a3]

Well I tears came to my eyes watching him shake hands last night. So blessed to have him as a Redwing.

[@vladme5335]

for me he's #1 of all time. hard to imagine the hockey will ever see someone who will be able to pull all Dats play

[@muscles662988]

As Flyers fan, I can say that Pasha is my favorite player. Plays all 200 feet and has more skill than people like to admit.

[@MonorionTV]

greatest backhand shot in the world

[@tothecor50]

Both he and Z had backhands among best in league.

[@alexwelsh3698]

Pavel Datsyuk has been around since I was 10 years old. Ive watched him revolutionize the game. There is no one in the league that is stronger on the puck that pavs. He uses a shovel of a stick blade intended for defensive defensemen but dangles with it. If kids these days (mick-ism) take away anything from pavs, it should be patience with the puck. dont force plays. good things will happen. I will be truly sad when pavs retires

[@RickyBobby20413]

Can't help but smile every time he's on the ice. Beautiful to watch.

[@StackzGuapo]

Best hands and best 2-way player of all time.

[@BobbyT.]

Congratulations on an incredible career. I'm not a Wings fan but I will definitely miss datsyuk. Hopefully he has one last good run in the playoffs this season.

[@tmike_tc]

My favorite hockey player. It’s only in this highlight reel for a couple of seconds around 3:47 - 3:49 against the Canadiens it looks like: Defenseman has already been juked off his skates and is sliding around the ice on his belly, helplessly watching. Pavel backhands the shot through the tiniest opening! Goalie couldn’t figure out how he got it through, but the bouncing water bottle doesn’t lie. How many would shoot for that tiny gap? Let alone nail it!! Amazing!

[@Asfixzeeuh]

This is great! We need one for Tatar now.

[@spacenut58]

The Barry Sanders of hockey.

[@imtu1231]

Underrated comment. They are actually incredibly similar in many aspects. Not the best of all time on their position, but still a legend, both had this medium-length carrier where it's not enough games played to be in top 5 statistic list, but at the same time managed to accumulate "HOF guarantee amount". Both considered by other players to be "one in a century" players and impossible to play against. Both had incredibly humble personalities on field/ice and of it, never succumbed to fame and insane praise by fans of not only their, but even rival team fans. Both have been somewhat not ideally built for the role, not as big, not as strong, as your "typical best players" of their position. And exactly that non characteristic build and style was used by both of them. And they did it in a manner that every coach/analyst/player would never even try to use because only naive dummy would think that one player can reliably outmaneuver entire enemy team and not get immediately shattered by veteran players who know much more about the game. They prove them all wrong, they did things nobody considered trying past high school level, they polished and refined their game so much that with one move would make everybody else on field look like clueless idiots lucky enough to witness greatness in a flesh. And they made it look so effortless that everyone who see it would say "why nobody ever tried to play like that?" because its obviously is The Way to do it.
