God, I miss having him but so grateful. I ran into him and Jiri Hudler outside of a bar after the victory parade in 2008. I said "Pavel?" he just said something back in Russian, they were so drunk I didn't even want to ask for an autograph.
It's hard to explain, but after you've watched enough hockey, you start to get a sixth sense for what hockey "looks" like. The flow, the moves, the bounces etc. Such that when something abnormal happens, like a guy losing his skate blade, even if you're not really looking at him, your mind notices something with isn't hockey. Pavel is the only player I've watched where he will do something which my brain picks up as not "hockey". They can slow it down and show you exactly what he did. But in real time, it just gives you this strange, glitch in the Matrix felling. If that makes any sense.
NHL is about pace , speed, grit , strenght and when someone plays using mostly his IQ with smooth deceive motions and technique - that is not reagular and brain notices that . For example NA technical guy like SID or Kane uses speed and pace of stickhandling. Kucherov or Datsyuk uses smooth style with more IQ involved to not overspeed opponent but deceive

YES EXACTLY! He's like a glitch in the Matrix. He just has a way of warping your experience of the game. IMO the most original player in NHL history. So...INVENTIVE! One of the few true artists to play and, imo, the greatest stickhandler to ever live.
One of the best and most humble to ever do it, boys... When you've played and watched hockey all of your life, you recognize special skills when you see them, regardless of how good you are yourself. Pavel was something special, without a doubt.
I wish I could meet him, he's my inspiration, I started ice hockey two months ago age 14. now I'm play varsity for my highschool as a freshman. just playing and rewinding pavel datsyuk 's moves on my phone a practicing them.. he is everything to me..
Datsyuk trained with five pound weights on his hockey blade. Every stickhandling drill you can think of (and some you would never begin to imagine), he did it with those weights on his stick. Observe also that he had the biggest blade legally allowable in hockey. So much surface area to work with. His edge work is bonkers. Someone said that his center of gravity is between his crotch and the middle of his calves...and it is sturdier than a well pipe in a tornado.
I saw this video come up and I had to watch it. Datsyuk was the best player from a golden era of Detroit Red Wings hockey. He did things that were so incredible that it made me laugh. But it also made me sad because I doubt that the Red Wings will ever have anything close to Datsyuk again... let alone be again the dominant team they once were during my lifetime. It went by so fast.
Lol, Yzerman will have the Wings in dominant form within the next 5 years... I will come back to this video then, and we can discuss how Moritz Seider is going to be a Norris trophy winner for years to come.
Someone please find the fountain of youth so we can watch this guy play forever! I've been privileged to watch his career in Detroit. we've been lucky to have several greats skate in the Joe in my lifetime. Yzerman, Federov, Konstantinov, Lidstrom, Probert & Kocur, Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Now we have guys like Tatar and Nyquist, probably Mrazek making a bid and hopefully kids like Mantha, Athanasiou, Pulkkinen and Larkin soon to come.
I'll just get this out of the way before all the comments rush in and the fights start... - Yes, we know Omark did the flip move first. - Yes, we know Crosby + Ovechkin have produced more points offensively. - Yes, we all know Kane's hands are undoubtedly fucking amazing. Great, now let's enjoy Datysuk.
remember the allstar game weekend when they did the draft thing. out of all the stars there.. datysuk was pick #1 over Crosby malkin and all. think it was team chara who picked
This'll go right past most peoples heads because it's sort of obscure, but in many ways he's always reminded me of Tom Penny -- though I only just now figured it out. There's this weird natural, relaxed style they both have, that makes everything they do and try look so easy and natural that you might think the tricks are, in fact, easy. But then you go out and try it out for yourself and somehow elbow yourself in the groin.
2024. Finally,hall of fame named 5 players. Datsyuk one of them. 2 Stanley, world champion, Olympic champion, Gagarin cup. Unbelievable career for guy who choiced 171 on draft
I remember when I discovered him when I was 10 through NHL 2004 on my PS2. Always played with the red wings because I thought they were cheated in the game ! They aren’t, he is just cheated IRL 😂
With the 171 pick, the Detroit Red Wings pick....Pavel Datsyuk With the 210 pick, the Detroit Red Wings pick... Henrik Zetterberg With the 257 pick, the Detroit Red Wings pick...Tomas Holmstrom For $1, the Detroit Red Wings pick up Kris Draper Some pretty good picks around Pavel.
Even with the high praise from other players Datsyuk still may be one of the most underrated NHL players of all time
Here in Detroit, even with all of the Stars that have played here, he is LOVED like no other. But overall, definitely agree.
"He's the smartest guy around" - Jagr. Says it all.
шаалллнр
probably one of the most humblest guy out there on the ice as well
He's amazing, even Siri knows who the Magic Man is!!
Thank you Datsyuk. You are the reason I play hockey
God, I miss having him but so grateful. I ran into him and Jiri Hudler outside of a bar after the victory parade in 2008. I said "Pavel?" he just said something back in Russian, they were so drunk I didn't even want to ask for an autograph.
Hahahah I went to one of his official autograph signings but I wouldve preferred to have your story 😄
You know you're good when a legend like Jagr says he can still learn things from you even at 43.
He is like the poet for poets, but only in hockey.
God I miss him.
Pavel is a symbol of perfect hockey. Great defensive and offensive skills. One of the best players of all time in hockey
Sadly 99% people think stats and points is all that matters but they do not realize that we may never see this kind of hockey player ever again

Definitely one of those hockey guys that will be remembered for a very long time.
An artist, the way he plays the game is art.

How did your hockey career shake out?
Datsyuk trained with five pound weights on his hockey blade. Every stickhandling drill you can think of (and some you would never begin to imagine), he did it with those weights on his stick. Observe also that he had the biggest blade legally allowable in hockey. So much surface area to work with. His edge work is bonkers.

I love how much respect he gets across the league. Everyone just loves how he played.

the best of the best!!!
Man of gold, we are proud of him here in Russia.
Хоккей, как искусство.
Hockey like art.
He's real Magic Man
My favourite player ❤️❤️❤️🐙🐙🐙😉
The one guy that disliked this is a Crosby fanboy.
Well, I think everyone who likes Crosby's style has to at least admit that Datsyuk is one hell of a player🤷🏼♀️
Ahh, I'm so proud of my countryman!
thank you very much dear Pavel, you felt the game under your skin and we got goosebumps when you played
why the hell was this one only 2 1/2 minutes long? i could watch this guy for days
man, i am not even a hockey guy but i am soaking up all the videos about pavel, he is one of kind.
he started in the NHL when Datsyuk was 12 and he was there when he retired, the man; the legend :Jaromir Jagr

And it's fucking amazing how all those legends are still connected to the present via the playoff streak. XD
One of the BEST!!!!
Скромный и талантлевый .Очень уважаю
Спасибо Паша за восхитительную игру
Legend number 13
И это справедливо,по стилю очень похож на номер 17....👍
Дацук в моем сердце навсегда!

Great, now let's enjoy Datysuk.
Kanes hands are the fastest but datsyuks is the smoothest
American Hockey Kane's hands are incredibly fast
American Hockey
It's not just his hands that are smooth, everything he does has a smoothness to it, comparable to a figure skater lol XD
datsyuk easily has better hands.. hands down... ha you got that pun... 😅 😂
Datsyuk has better hands than Kane and I think Kane himself would tell you that.
this is my hero
Nobody does it better, like Datsyuk. It is so pitty he is so old.
remember the allstar game weekend when they did the draft thing. out of all the stars there.. datysuk was pick #1 over Crosby malkin and all. think it was team chara who picked
1:10 Doughty😂😂😂😂 nice strategy👌🏼😂
He had moves even he didn't know he had..
Волшебный мужик=))
the predators reached out with there hands trying to grab him
It's sad that he's retiring
This'll go right past most peoples heads because it's sort of obscure, but in many ways he's always reminded me of Tom Penny -- though I only just now figured it out. There's this weird natural, relaxed style they both have, that makes everything they do and try look so easy and natural that you might think the tricks are, in fact, easy.
But then you go out and try it out for yourself and somehow elbow yourself in the groin.
He was fun to watch
2024. Finally,hall of fame named 5 players. Datsyuk one of them. 2 Stanley, world champion, Olympic champion, Gagarin cup. Unbelievable career for guy who choiced 171 on draft
Miss him(((
SuperStar
2 dislikes from Crosby's 2 accounts :'(
Волшебник.
The pinnacle.
Gotta love the players comments. Specially Doubts..."By far the best player in the league" straight gster.

Idol, welcome to the Hall of Fame

Michael Jordan of ice hockey
знай наших...
С днём рождения
My fav wing...sorry stevie
😍
What's the music playing from the start? Please!!
What is up with Jagr?

Ur not gonna beat datsyuk 1 on 1.. Hes simple the best
give datsyuk mcdavid speed and he woulda been the greatest player of all time man.
its Pavel Bure
@@johnnyknoxville5917 Pavel Bure wasnt as good defensive wise and didnt have the hands at Datsyuk's level. Still great though.
He's gotta be on the Russian gas.
ПАХАННННННННН!
👍🇷🇺
