I loved the bit where Pavel made it look like there was a loose puck, yet he was in total control of the puck whether it was loose or in his possession. Pavel actually lures people to go for the puck, which gives him the time and space to tie-out the opponents stick, so he's basically utilizing defensive stick checking techniques in his puck handling and deking. He even stopped to stand still and intentionally left the puck loose, and instead of playing the puck Pavel tied the guys stick and kept him away from the loose puck for seconds just with his body positioning, patience and stick strength. McDavid has a similar style in my opinion. He can utilize his blazing speed to get past defensive players, and he often "dekes" them without actually handling the puck itself but it's more about protecting the puck with his body and using his stick strength to keep the opponents sticks away from both the puck and his own stick. PS. English isn't my native language, so I hope you guys get what I'm trying to say here. :)
holy moly... usually when you see clips like this the player tries too hard and makes mistakes... in this case Datsyuk was being flashy and it worked on every single move, that was amazing. It looks like he's fooling around but he's so smart, he knew the way the reporter would move on every deke and played him like a fiddle. That type of reaction speed is something you're born with
You're kidding right. He literally skated circles around him. I don't think anyone has nearly the same hands as Pavel. They're perfect. Every move is so clean. Must have practiced his whole life non-stop. 10/10. Go Dats.
This is incredible. I love when he just holds the guys stick with his stick and doesn't let him get the puck. Goes to show you why he's the best defensive forward in the game on top of being top 5 most talented on the world. It's crazy how little attention he gets relative to Crosby and Ovechkin even though he's better all around and has won a few cups.
Ну Кросби хотя-бы тоже хорош,а вот бревно офисное да,без комментариев,кроме как из офиса бросить больше ниче не может,зависимый от партнёров игрок,сам он ничего не умеет(ну кроме броска в касание по пустым)
That was incredible; Datsyuk was in COMPLETE control! I was most impressed with his ability to anticipate Trevor's moves to the point that he could leave the puck stationary, seemingly unprotected, and then effortlessly stick-check or block him from even touching it -- clowning his opponent without even moving!
it is velocity (thanks Isaac newton)!!! people always forgot once you start moving on ice, hard to stop same w/ NFL only in nhl it is 4x more.. ice baby!!!
I work security for Ducks locker room at the Honda Center in Anaheim, and everytime the red wings come to town Pavel Datsyuk is and the rest of the wings are some of the nicest guys in the league.
So crazy, I remember this clip specifically and while I logically knew it was at least 7-8 years old, I was shocked when it was 13 years ago. Time flies
Happy 32th birthday Pasha! Apart from being one of the best players ever born, he has brilliant sense of humor, If only you would see his interviews in russian, they are hilarious!
"i try to be best" DATSYUK IS FREAKIN AMAZING i wish the canucks could trade their whole roster for him so we'd finally have a player worth watching again here in vancouver
As an Avs fan, I don't really like the Red Wings, but you gotta give it to Datsyuk. Not only is he ridiculously good on the ice (in all three zones, no less) but he also is such a good guy off the ice. He is so humble.
All of the moves were great but I was honestly so impressed with him using his stick to trap Trevors stick between his own leg and the stick while not moving. That was cold lol
Wow, that is not even fair! I am going to be uploading some stickhandling videos to my channel soon, with some good drills to do to practice, and improve your game.
The reporter guy was laughing the whole time. Datsyuk's a pro though, he let the puck go while the guy was like 2 feet away and it still went through his legs, he made him skate into it XD
Hakan Andersson said that he was probably the only NHL scout to see Datsyuk in action as he went to scout Dmitri Kalinin and noticed Datsyuk for the other team and then followed up on him.
Great moves by Pavel... most players can't do moves like that in games... they save it for the ASG weekend... but Pavel is one of the only players who can actually use his moves IN games...
im not a detroit fan (sharks fan), but i love watching Datsyuk play. He ism in my opinion, the most talanted player in the league. The way he can move the puck and set up players is unrivaled. Neither Crosby or Ovechkin can match up to Datsyuk's skill, he always will be in a league of his own. If people are trying to compare points, then you dont watch hockey. Saying one player has more goals/assists than another player makes him better is not a hockey fan, just an idiot.
@evanderlazer like its been said before his combination of offensive talent and producing with his defensive side is at a way higher level than crosby did this guy can be on a top powerplay and penalty kill for any team
You are right. I think his point production is down slighty from that of Ovie, Crosby or Malkin, but my god he has to have the best hands in the NHL. Dont forget though that hockey sense makes a huge difference.
The reporter had some skills to be honest
He played college hockey.
played AHL one level below NHL
I used to play with him. he's a really good player
I used to play with Datsyuk. Actually I taught him. One day he will be almost half as good as I am
He surely does. I'd have been like a turtle 🐢😂
Probably one of the most gifted players in the league and still he remains one the most humble.
Спасибо за высокую оценку русскому хоккеисту)))
For sure! He even said "me too, you're too fast" haha
except Trevor Thompson isn't just a layman, he played in the AHL, he is not exactly bad.
yup he's someone who spent his whole life skating and playing hockey. dude is no chump, syuk is just that good
@@Dismal626 i thought he was just a reporter but he definitely is a competent skater watching that vid
Hahah awesome, I love how that dude is enjoying the hell out of getting dangled like that.
when you get dangled by Datsyuk you say thank you and apologize for trying to touch the puck.
h5y datsyuk can deke in the shower and not get wet. (read that somewhere so funny)
I don't know why but for some reason I feel like I'm the one that got schooled by datsyuk just by watching?
He’s a gem to have watched for all those years.
haha true
"Keep puck away from defenseman no matter how:
-Pavel Datsyuk
Pavel was still in russia in his head for 14 years😅
@@mikebizoune233 He lived in Russia in the summer. English is really hard for a Russian to learn because they don't have filler words like the.
@@bencarter8423 yes, no articles. We dont need them to define an item. Also dont need 16 tenses
Datsyuk literally didn't break a sweat while looking half asleep and keeping the puck on a string. The greatest stickhandler in NHL history.
ide be giggling like a little girl too if i got to play keepaway with datsuk

I love Datsyuk, truly one of the best right now and very modest. Keep it up Pavel!!
Miss pav. Hello from 11 years in the future

Such a likeable player. His sense of where the puck is and where Trevor Thompson's stick is, it's just superhuman.
That was incredible; Datsyuk was in COMPLETE control! I was most impressed with his ability to anticipate Trevor's moves to the point that he could leave the puck stationary, seemingly unprotected, and then effortlessly stick-check or block him from even touching it -- clowning his opponent without even moving!
it is velocity (thanks Isaac newton)!!! people always forgot once you start moving on ice, hard to stop
same w/ NFL only in nhl it is 4x more..
ice baby!!!
'can you show me anything?' 'I have nothing' haha
"I try to be best." Datsyuk I love you! (Trevor is one brave dude.)
This is one of the very few videos worthy of my favorites section. Endless replayabilty as a pasha fan.
my eyes are happy now..
I work security for Ducks locker room at the Honda Center in Anaheim, and everytime the red wings come to town Pavel Datsyuk is and the rest of the wings are some of the nicest guys in the league.
2:17 holy frick that was filthy
So crazy, I remember this clip specifically and while I logically knew it was at least 7-8 years old, I was shocked when it was 13 years ago.
Time flies
Happy 32th birthday Pasha!
Apart from being one of the best players ever born, he has brilliant sense of humor, If only you would see his interviews in russian, they are hilarious!
"I will start so I will at least touch it" too funny! lol
Thanks for the upload. Saw this on TV and I still find it amazing on here as well.
"i try to be best"
DATSYUK IS FREAKIN AMAZING
i wish the canucks could trade their whole roster for him so we'd finally have a player worth watching again here in vancouver
And this was Pav probably barely even trying. Pav was born to play hockey. Most naturally gifted player I've ever seen.
No one can justify negative comments towards datsyuk.. He's as classy as they come.
absolutely amazing
Not only skillful, but also the best sportsmanship as well :)
As an Avs fan, I don't really like the Red Wings, but you gotta give it to Datsyuk. Not only is he ridiculously good on the ice (in all three zones, no less) but he also is such a good guy off the ice. He is so humble.
All of the moves were great but I was honestly so impressed with him using his stick to trap Trevors stick between his own leg and the stick while not moving. That was cold lol
I'd love to see a game of keep away like that between Datsyuk and Kovalev. That would be pretty damn cool.
Guy in black suit: hahahahahaaha
Datsyuk: Ain't nobody getting this puck!
The intense music with Trev giggling the whole time was great.
Wow, that is not even fair!
I am going to be uploading some stickhandling videos to my channel soon, with some good drills to do to practice, and improve your game.
Yeah. I'll be sure to check those out... lol
He makes it look so effortless
i love how he stick handles i practice every day moves he does
INCREDIBLE!
I used to play hockey with Trevor Thompson. He was honestly a decent player. It's amazing to see what a real pro can do.
I've seen alot of great stickhandlers, but Datsyuk is by far the best stickhandler i've ever seen.
Amazing control!
Seriously, you know that defensive players think to themselves before they take run at Pavel, "How bad is he going to make me look right now?"
1:55 that was a pretty good move actually
I tear up when I hear him say "I try to be best"
I showed my mom a video of Pavel Datzuk playing hockey, 9 months later she had a kid...
Thats how good he is.
amazing
"can you show me anything?" "uhh I don't have nothing"
Lol oh Pav, so modest.
Trev did a great job doing all that while laughing. Great stuff...thanks for the post.
- Can you show me anything?
- I don't have nothing.
That just shows how good he is
This is not keep away...more like how many ways is there to embarrass the other player
look at how calm datsyuk is... he is amazing...
The reporter guy was laughing the whole time. Datsyuk's a pro though, he let the puck go while the guy was like 2 feet away and it still went through his legs, he made him skate into it XD
I love the Red Wings!
datsyuk and p.kane have the sickest hands in the league
the best player.. pleasure to watch
i love this videoo, favorites for sure
wow the skill is just amazing.
Hakan Andersson said that he was probably the only NHL scout to see Datsyuk in action as he went to scout Dmitri Kalinin and noticed Datsyuk for the other team and then followed up on him.
I wish I had Datsuyk's skill.
Thats awesome
he is crazy
u gotta love pavel
also the background music fits very well
"me too.. you're too fast" LOL
That was sick and made my day
So humble
Every time Datsyuk plays, its like a game of keep-away!
Great moves by Pavel... most players can't do moves like that in games... they save it for the ASG weekend... but Pavel is one of the only players who can actually use his moves IN games...
lol so uh watcha say,, barabell...datsyuk is amazing
crazy...and wow at the end...probably the only time we'll ever see him take a slapshot
DATS AMAZING!
GO WINGS GO
As a Blues fan, I hate playing against Datsyuk, but the guy is unbelievable. Love to have him in St. Louis!
beastly.
I remember when I was 4 when this came out
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!
2:15 over and over again is just epic!
he is unbelievable
OMG SICK if he played in the 80s he would have ripped shit up like Gretzky....by far one of the most under rated players in the NHL
GO DAT GO!
im not a detroit fan (sharks fan), but i love watching Datsyuk play. He ism in my opinion, the most talanted player in the league. The way he can move the puck and set up players is unrivaled. Neither Crosby or Ovechkin can match up to Datsyuk's skill, he always will be in a league of his own.
If people are trying to compare points, then you dont watch hockey. Saying one player has more goals/assists than another player makes him better is not a hockey fan, just an idiot.
His first three moves were sick and he did them like the were nothing, just crazy
@evanderlazer like its been said before his combination of offensive talent and producing with his defensive side is at a way higher level than crosby did this guy can be on a top powerplay and penalty kill for any team
Wow! Shows you how skilled Pavel is
He IS the Magic Man
Insane.
He is so *ucking relaxed, unbelivable
I love Datsyuk
1:33 "Uuh, I don't have nuthin." Right, Pavel, right...tell that to Marty Turco
My boy pavel is the man.
good ol' Pav!!
2:15 was the best.
damn i wish i had hands like him
jeez that reporter is a damn good skater. definitely was not expecting that.
holy sh*t...Dats the man, his puck handling skillz are amazing
kids that play everyday dream of being this good
this guy is crazy !
i love it how datsyuk seems to be dangling him with no problem at all, like it's routine
i like the epic music ^^
AND he also finished off the great passing play with a one-hander against the Blackhawks
You are right. I think his point production is down slighty from that of Ovie, Crosby or Malkin, but my god he has to have the best hands in the NHL. Dont forget though that hockey sense makes a huge difference.
impressing.
