Thank you for making this video on def one of the greatest players of all time. Its a shame that he isnt regarded as highly as ovechi, but i regard him higher! If u look at #8 high goal scoring seasons, his assist are super low.
Dats was a TEAM player, always looking to make the right pass. Thats one of many reasons he was so fun to watch, he could pass to someone at any time; you never knew what he would do with the puck. He is truly a Geeat player, and if we judged players by their team play making ability, Dats IS top in the last 3p yrs, easily!
Thanks again for not just focusing on one aspect of his play. He did just as much without the puck, as he did with it!

This video shows Datsyuk's flamboyant side, but not enough of his defensive side. And no mentioning his obviously closest counterpart today, Barkov.
