Been watching Hockey for 30 years or so, and I have NEVER EVER seen 1 player create so much chaos!!! And he's not even an enforcer!!! He'll position opponents to collide, Goalies to collapse, and steal pucks like a Man playing against Kids!!! AWESOME PLAYER!!!
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.
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!
Definitely one of the smartest and most technical players in the history of hockey. Incredible hands, intelligence, ice skating. A real gentleman on the ice. The advantages of Datsyuk can be listed for a very long time, but the magic that he created on the ice is the main thing. His execution of the bullets, will forever go down in history. The Magic Man...
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.
Н. Кучеров, тот, кто хоть как то похож в видении поля. Многие пишут, как скучают по игре Павла, не зная, что в настоящий момент есть игроки как Капризов, Кучеров, Гусев, которые имеют схожий с Павлом талант. Они одарённые. Талант он виден, главное им правильно распорядиться.
@@lavasheik486 kucherov is good but i d'ont think any player in the world can have the same impact as Datyusk had on both sides of the ice, and one on one, no one even comes close to Datsyuk
When people say Jonathan Drouin is fast and has great hands, I’m laughing and crying at the same time, because every time I think about Pavel Datsyuk. Such a great player, the true example to make a team win by himself. Thanks Datsyuk for all these memories and I hope your number gets retired too, you’re too good not to do it
Думал что лучше Харламова по технике никого не будет, но в хоккее появился Макаров для моего поколения, но Павел Дацюк- это нечто совершеннее: связь мышления,техники и психологии и во всем большая любовь к хоккею что дало такую работоспособность над совершением его гениальных многоходовок и хитросплетений: пойти одному на четырёх- другие один в один не решаются пойти в обыгрыш - такая неистовая уверенность в том что он делает как будто бы у него крылья за спиной- счастье видеть игру такого мастера-ВОСХИЩАЮСЬ!
Это называется игра "головой"! Его исполнения можно пересматривать вечно, а магия в том,что он чувствует всё и всех вокруг на льду - это высший "пилотаж", это талант самого высокого уровня. Он видит на секунду быстрее, он ЗНАЕТ на секунду быстрее - он действительно волшебник!
@@KAce888 Ты с языка снял ! Комментаторы НХЛ давно о рикошетах Дацюка говорят так: " если для остальных игроков это случайность (по-английски - accident), то для Дацюка это нормально, ибо он считает игру на 2-3 хода вперед !"
Одного призыва(1978г.р) с Дацюком, были Зюзин из Уфы(самый забивающий защитник), Самсонов (ЦСКА, Бостон) - руки золотые.. И много ещё - играл против них.
Might be the greatest defensive forward of all time. He never had 40 goals or 100 points in a season but had the talent to exceed those numbers. Defense was first for him, but imagine if it wasn't. What would his numbers be.
@@Qrath дружище учи английский ! чувак написал что он им восхищается ! даже если его увековечат это всё будет меньше чем Павел заслуживает ! по русски что Павел гений который выше всех званий и титулов !
Эстетическое наслаждение было смотреть за магией Павла на льду! Спасибо за такое волшебство! Я был счастлив, когда смотрел на твою игру. И очень очень рад, что ты выиграл Олимпиаду 2018 и вошел в "Тройной клуб"! Хоккейный Волшебник и очень добрый, скромный человек. Всех благ тебе в дальнейшем. Легенда.
Love listening to Brett Hull talk about playing with Pavel in Detroit was Pavel was in his rookie season...He called him the greatest pure talent he had ever seen....pretty high praise...
Pavel Datsyuk is so good that even with his trophy room filled with Cups, Selkes and Bings, you still can't help but feel he is the most underrated player of all time. He rarely makes the conversation of greatest player to ever play the sport, but I literally can't think of a purer talent for hockey than Pavel Datsyuk. #13 should be hanging in the rafters.
The greatest player of the 21 century in my opinion. The word genius is overused; it should be reserved for the Einsteins of the world. Datsyuk was a genius. Absolute genius.
Not only was Datsyuk one of the most talented players to ever play the game with his skill and artistry but his defense was also sublime for a forward as evidenced by his takeaways. His hands were really magic. The magic man he was!!!
As someone who was born in ‘02 and got to watch the 5-10 years at the end of the Datsyuk era, it really shows nowadays how much influence he had on the people my age. The guys born around my time and who grew up watching the same hockey as me are now starting to filter into the league and you can just tell they were imitating Datsyuk in their driveway in the 2000’s, then they were really getting them down throughout high school and college/on a farm team in the 2010’s, and now they are filtering into the league and they are making what he used to do seem normal and I love it.
Avs fan for life. Obviously every true fan of either team, knows the history. I’m not ashamed to say.... i LOVED watching this guy play. Almost as much as I loved watching Forsberg play. Just unbelievable how skilled he was. Loved his attitude as well. Being the best player, on almost every night he played. Not once do you see arrogance, just skating humbly along be the best. Respect!!!’
I'm proud to be a Red Wings fan! I'll never see another Datsyuk in my lifetime (neither will the rest of you, by the way), but I started watching the Wings in 1985 and became a fan. We've had some great players (an understatement!), but none like this!
Datsyuk had the best backhand shot in the league, fastest hands and he was best at takeaways and stealing the puck. He also could do other stunts like raising the puck from behind the net that it might hit the goalie's back and ricochet into the net.
missing him so mutch in NHL. he is the TOP 5 players in hockey history that can handle, digle the stick like that with the hockey sens and pure talent. Mario Lemieux, Pavel Datsyuk, Pavel Bure, Bobby Orr, Alexei Kovalev. Wow Russian Power
С таким наслаждением смотрю как Павел забивает и просто не могу поверить, что этого парня когда-то не брали в хоккей... Павел ты просто гений!!! Спасибо тебе за твою прекрасную игру!!!
As a lifelong Wings fan...Datsyuk was supremely underrated. Of all the legends we've had, I enjoyed watching his game the most (offensively). Yzerman, Federov, and Zetterberg got arguably just as much fanfare...but Pavs was a TRUE "generational talent". One of the only players in any sport where you can truely say, "we may never see someone like him again."
His ability to go backhand forehand and then release is among the best ever. If you're a kid and can do that, you'll be scoring a lot of goals. It's almost like a deflection to himself, love that move
If you ever have some time to kill, there are at least 30 more Datsyuk goals that the average NHL player can't do. This is the most underrated player of all time. His speed and puck handling abilities are not human. In his prime, if not surrounded by the most talented players ever assembled on to one team, he would have lead the NHL in goals and assists for several years. That's my opinion, and yes, I have always been a Red Wings fan, so it is a biased one. Cheers mates.
@@fk4410 well after 07-08 the entire team, while very talented, was an aging team. They were good teams, but I'd say post 2010 is when the whole team started to decline, even though guys like zetterberg and datsyuk were still going god mode on teams
Some pro hockey player on another NHL team said that he and several of his teammates the next morning tried the Datsyuk move on Turco, skating on one blade as he finished the goal. He said they all fell down and ended up in the corner every time they tried to do the same.
We all know the Red Wings had many good rosters during there are many Stanley cups and trips to the Stanley cup but this guy right here is one who I feel like was under appreciated especially with the mad talent that he had... If only us Detroit fans knew 15 years later how bad our team needed a player like him or a player w even half of the skills that he possesses 🤦♂️
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 )
Дацюк входит в список спортсменов , которые каждый в своем виде спорта добавлял в соревновательный процесс изюминку волшебства. Роналдиньо в футболе , Рой Джонс в боксе , Кайри Ирвинг в баскетболе , Таль в шахматах , Болт в спринте .... список можно продолжать... Были ли они лучшими или нет можно спорить или соглашаться. Одно несомненно -они неповторимы
Just when you think you are gonna take the puck off him he puts you on fourth street and makes you look foolish . I’m a Bruins fan but you can’t say he didn’t excite you when he touched the puck . Plus he made everyone look so good around him . I wish he didn’t go to the KHL . :( there will never be another Magic Man . Thank you Pavel !
He said afterwards that it wasn't actually the move he was going for. I remember that one causing a lot of controversy too because they kept arguing it was illegal. Which by the book I suppose it was, but in the end the shoot out is nothing more than a show anyway.
Players like Patrick Kane and Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, wouldnt exist and have the hands they do today.. if it werent for Pavel Datsyuk... He elevated and changed the game. Nobody had EVER even come close or attemp to do the things he did, and still nobody after him has either. 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. Softest hands of all time, and between him and Henrik Zetterberg.. theyre 2 of the greatest 2 way players of all time, no question.
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.
@@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
Absolute joy to watch these highlights . Pavel Datsyuk will go down as one of the most exciting and impossibly skilled players ever to grace the game of hockey .
A very patient and cunning player. That is an unbeatable combination. Had he come of age with these skills in the 1970s he would have been the greatest to ever have played the game, Gretz included.
One of Datsyuk's most famous goals is a shootout in January 2010, when Pavel beat Chicago goalkeeper Antti Niemi with a mocking "parachute". The Black Hawks eventually won the Stanley Cup, but there is no doubt that Niemi remembered this puck for many years as in a terrible dream...
As for pure talent, he’s one of the greatest to ever play. Some are born, some have to develop their talent. I would probably add Mario, Bobby Orr, Kharlamov and Bure to make it the top five pure talents. Oddly enough, the four added, never got to play their full careers, except for maybe Kharlamov. RIP.
You’veGottaBe KiddingMe I’d say yes, but he was more of a complete player, both physically, technically and cerebrally, but if you had a shootout, and you had the choice who to give the stick to, I’d go with Dats. Fedorov is higher on the all time list, but we’re talking pure talent.
Rewatching these highlights will never get old. He finds a way to abuse any second of weakness against the best players in the world and makes it look effortless
Fugg'n ayyyye Skippy!! Datsyuk was the man, every night he would do something to make the entire Joe Louis Arena crowd just shake their heads and smile. He was so good.
he made a panenka penalty...in football, that is a cheeky and a dangerous move because it makes you look stupid if you miss it but this guy pulls it off, in ice hockey. just outstanding skills with audacity to match
Bruce Hunter Funny thing is Datsyuk didn’t even need a have fast hands just his little head fake shoulder fake is literally what destroyed the goalie so much. You look at Patrick Kane and Nathan MacKinnon and how fast they move the puck. Yeah it looks good whereas Datsyuk literally just moves his shoulder or head in a certain way and the the goalie would be totally faked out.
Timmy Johnson I think Patrick Kane has similar hands but what made datsyuk special was his defense. The guy was a lock down defender, I think people forget just how special he was. Maybe because he was surrounded by other legends
Having watched him for his entire career, I’ve seen him make so many great plays even not ending up in goals that still made to applaud his skills. Truly a joy to watch the master at work.👍
Been watching Hockey for 30 years or so, and I have NEVER EVER seen 1 player create so much chaos!!! And he's not even an enforcer!!! He'll position opponents to collide, Goalies to collapse, and steal pucks like a Man playing against Kids!!! AWESOME PLAYER!!!

Jim Stunt there will never be another Datsyuk
Me too
Watching Datsyuk play is like watching Mozart compose or Michelangelo paint - it brings a tear to your eye
Yeah, you're right, buddy.
You've seen mozart compose?
Паши ,мироаому хоккею и нхл будет не хватать !
Great analogy, his picks to get the puck, simply the best.

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 )
Дацюк входит в список спортсменов , которые каждый в своем виде спорта добавлял в соревновательный процесс изюминку волшебства.
Роналдиньо в футболе , Рой Джонс в боксе , Кайри Ирвинг в баскетболе , Таль в шахматах , Болт в спринте .... список можно продолжать...
Были ли они лучшими или нет можно спорить или соглашаться. Одно несомненно -они неповторимы
ну в баскетболе можно было выбрать кудесника и покруче например Мэджика Джонсона а так согласен
Дацюк это Роналдиньо хоккея
Just when you think you are gonna take the puck off him he puts you on fourth street and makes you look foolish . I’m a Bruins fan but you can’t say he didn’t excite you when he touched the puck . Plus he made everyone look so good around him . I wish he didn’t go to the KHL . :( there will never be another Magic Man . Thank you Pavel !

2:32 #6 even deked out the goal cam
Best comment ever.
The robo cam looked at it like:
“Wtf”
He said afterwards that it wasn't actually the move he was going for. I remember that one causing a lot of controversy too because they kept arguing it was illegal. Which by the book I suppose it was, but in the end the shoot out is nothing more than a show anyway.
Yep, and some say his eyes even crossed because of the nice move.
Kartkid024 How is the shootout nothing more than a show? And also how was it illegal?
We Wings fans were unbelievably blessed to have him wearing the winged wheel. Such a privilege to watch him play every night.
Best hands to ever play the game. Pantsed a lot of forwards, defensemen, and goalies in his career.
Yes, a wizard born for ice.... Played with love, for the team, for the fans❤
Kinda unreal that he was drafted in the 6th round 171st overall. Crazy!!!
You can thank Hakan Andersson. That man is a genius
Not a Red Wings fan but I miss him.
I am and trust me, I MISS THAT WHOLE LINE ON THE ICE back then
We all miss him. Thanks God i saw this magic man on ice.
Pavel and Henrik. I miss both so much
Players like Patrick Kane and Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, wouldnt exist and have the hands they do today.. if it werent for Pavel Datsyuk... He elevated and changed the game. Nobody had EVER even come close or attemp to do the things he did, and still nobody after him has either. 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. Softest hands of all time, and between him and Henrik Zetterberg.. theyre 2 of the greatest 2 way players of all time, no question.
totally agree ! he is GOAT
Про козёл было лищнее😂😂😂у нас в России козёл ассоциируются с человеком очень испорченным и без всяких принципов.
The most skilled player of all time. If he didn’t focus so much on his defensive play he would be a multiple time 100+ scorer
Facts 💯
See: Fedorov, Sergei
@@GooBanana love sergie but datsyuk was on another level
Lemieux is the most skilled, hands down, not even close.
sergei was the russian version of jonathan toews
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.
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.
Really, he was a very good defender too ?!
Him and Bergeron. Simply world class players.
@@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
@@outsider9325 Treu true, nothing to say against that, Datsuk is the most complete player the NHL had imo. Wasn't he also undrafted.. lol
Best player ever-PD🙏☀️Thank you Pavel for everything.You gave me lot of joy.God bless you🙏СПАСИБО Pascha🙏
Спасибо!!!
One of the very best of the last 30 years for sure he was great defensively he scored 20-30 every year he was a great skater and a good playmaker
Magic! True excellence.
That slo mo deke on Niemi is one of my favorite if not my favorite highlight reel
Shot of all time.
Уважили, sportsnet, нас на 23 февраля. С Праздником, мужики! Дядя Паша, конечно, нереальные вещи делал! Шайба как приклеена к клюшке!
Катание фантастическое, даже на одном коньке!
@@samplechannel2fiyd5idjfufjfud твой праздник 8 марта? Идти на хер - по ходу это твое тогда...
Паша волшебник!
Рональдиньё хоккея!

I've never seen anyone with as quick of moves as him. He's a damned magician
Made it look so easy! We miss the magic man
Absolute joy to watch these highlights . Pavel Datsyuk will go down as one of the most exciting and impossibly skilled players ever to grace the game of hockey .
A very patient and cunning player. That is an unbeatable combination. Had he come of age with these skills in the 1970s he would have been the greatest to ever have played the game, Gretz included.
One of Datsyuk's most famous goals is a shootout in January 2010, when Pavel beat Chicago goalkeeper Antti Niemi with a mocking "parachute". The Black Hawks eventually won the Stanley Cup, but there is no doubt that Niemi remembered this puck for many years as in a terrible dream...
а Вы обратили внимание, что он как честный человек, ..не проявлял лишние эмоции..это не только человек Волшебник...но и человек Порядочность!
As for pure talent, he’s one of the greatest to ever play. Some are born, some have to develop their talent. I would probably add Mario, Bobby Orr, Kharlamov and Bure to make it the top five pure talents. Oddly enough, the four added, never got to play their full careers, except for maybe Kharlamov. RIP.
Kovalev too
Gal Altman Kovalev, no. I’m sorry.
I'd say that Sergei Fedorov was one of the most talented, too
You’veGottaBe KiddingMe I’d say yes, but he was more of a complete player, both physically, technically and cerebrally, but if you had a shootout, and you had the choice who to give the stick to, I’d go with Dats. Fedorov is higher on the all time list, but we’re talking pure talent.
@@TheNewsstandMan Oh, definitely, I agree.
Два игрока уровня Дацюка в команде и это супер клуб. Игрок с потрясающим чутьём как в атаке так и в обороне! Лучший... 💯
Goal number 9 - Datsyuk is a rookie, playing on the Brett Hull line and scoring. The look on Hull's face is priceless
Rewatching these highlights will never get old. He finds a way to abuse any second of weakness against the best players in the world and makes it look effortless
Вот как играет настоящий волшебник😁😁. Ниеми этот буллит не забудет ни когда
The 2 dislikes are Pekka Rinne and Antti Niemi
And Suter
Both finnish🤔
Fugg'n ayyyye Skippy!! Datsyuk was the man, every night he would do something to make the entire Joe Louis Arena crowd just shake their heads and smile. He was so good.
Now it’s all a bunch of predators fans
)))))))
he made a panenka penalty...in football, that is a cheeky and a dangerous move because it makes you look stupid if you miss it but this guy pulls it off, in ice hockey. just outstanding skills with audacity to match
Thanks to all his fans for supporting him at any time.
Thanks to the commentators for conveying these best emotions and admiration. I miss him
Absolutely incredible! Absolutely fantastic player! Absolutely nr1 to watch!
Being a young kid watching him play live at the Joe is something not a lot of people will ever get to do I am very lucky thank you Datsyuk
I’m there with you bud.
Pavel Datsyuk, The Magic Man. Number 13 which was his Lucky Number! It was so much fun watching him play for my favorite team! Go Red Wings!
Thanks, Sportsnet! It's Magic!
What a great player. He could ave easy 50 per yr, but the team came first and he was a great 2 way player.
Watched this guy's whole career, and this is the best recap I've seen yet.
I miss this man, I’m glad to see he’s playing still in his homeland
С какой он планеты??!!!! Так не честно!))))) Как играть против такого?)) Супер!
Best stick handler of all time! Also he has the best dangles
MacKinnon is great, but not even close to the hands Datsyuk had. It is hard to compare him to anyone really.
Bruce Hunter Funny thing is Datsyuk didn’t even need a have fast hands just his little head fake shoulder fake is literally what destroyed the goalie so much. You look at Patrick Kane and Nathan MacKinnon and how fast they move the puck. Yeah it looks good whereas Datsyuk literally just moves his shoulder or head in a certain way and the the goalie would be totally faked out.
Timmy Johnson I think Patrick Kane has similar hands but what made datsyuk special was his defense. The guy was a lock down defender, I think people forget just how special he was. Maybe because he was surrounded by other legends
@@brucehunter1976 mackinnon hahaha no one can compare with Datsyuk
My all time fav player. So unbelievably smooth with the puck and come on…the backwards toe drag is a thing of beauty
Having watched him for his entire career, I’ve seen him make so many great plays even not ending up in goals that still made to applaud his skills. Truly a joy to watch the master at work.👍
My God. This man is beautiful.
The Greatest Magician of all NHL time... Happy Birthday Pavel Datsyuk!

So creative it's just insane🤯💥💥
What a magician ! Unique player and one of the best ! Nobody in the Nhl today plays like this , 4 of the 10 plays are against Nashville !
