He was the greatest two-way player and best hockey IQ I ever watched play!!! By far the most skilled and hands out of anyone.
This vid is a fraction of his greatness. I’m so glad I got to watch him in detroit his whole NHL career. (I also have a framed autographed datsyuk jersey in my office.)
We were so spoiled in Detroit back then.
People only look at his points and judge him. Hes one of the best 2 way foward ever. Greatest stickhandling skill ever. Doesnt have the fastest hands. But he uses what he has better than anyone. Ever
He basically pioneered the takeaway artistry on defense. Truly one of the best 2 way forwards and a human highlight reel.
6:45 You have no idea how condensed this video is. Pavel Datsyuk was such a spectacular player that he would routinely make highlight reel plays just about every time he stepped onto the ice.
There's an in depth career highlight video series that's 3 and a half hours long, and every second of it is just spectacular hockey.
With such a talent, quick hands and humble spirit Pavel Datsyuk is a true role model for younger players.
He actually left the Red Wings and the NHL to go back to Russia to play in the KHL. He's still dominating the KHL now, at 42. He probably has the most impressive deking highlights of any NHL player imo. Lots of his teammates said that he could have scored a lot more goals and gotten even more assists if he had wanted to play more focused on offense alone , but Datsyuk wanted to be a great all-rounded player, so he spent as much effort and time defending (and stealing the puck so many times from the opposite team) which is why he won the Selke trophy (Best Defensive Forward) so many times. Its kind of long so you could probably break the video up into multiple parts but you should react to "The History of Hockey (CBC Documentary)" its long but it'll give you some decent insight into the sport.
Awesome ! Thanks for the clarification:) he definitely seems like a guy who could have scored way more goals ! And thanks for the video suggestion 😊
The"Magic Man"/"The Thief".. And he played his whole career with Detroit🤘😎
Forget about stats and goals this is the best player you will ever watch playing hockey there will never be another player like him
One of the greatest players when I was a kid. I glad I got to watch him in his prime lol
There has never been anyone like him before, since or ever again. There is so much more to see. Wayne who?
💙From Detroit
Steve Yzerman will always be my favourite player of all time, but Datsyuk is by far my favourite to watch, he's a serious magician.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg were known as the "Euro Twins". Both played their entire NHL careers in Detroit. They were both LATE round draft picks and if they hadn't been so good, Detroit would have started their downfall at least 5 years earlier after Nicklas Lidstrom left. There's another guy to look up to appreciate the defensive side of the game. Also a guy that never played for another team. Steve Yzerman, their current GM, was also a career Red Wing. And Tomas Holmstrom, who was famous for having his goals called back for goalie interference. Niklas Kronwall, another one. There are big hit compilation videos of him around.
Detroit hasn't made the playoffs since Datsyuk left the NHL.
I cried over my Datsyuk jersey for two weeks when he retired from NHL.
he literally had double the amount of takeaways (steals) Than anyone else in the NHL in his prime, good observation
Datsyuk was so dangerous because he didn't just have great hands and control, he knew the game and was a complete player. There are defensively minded forwards who can score and then you have Datsyuk. He was a scorer who understood how to defend. He should have won more Selke Trophies because he was a true 200' player.
no doubt hes probably the most skilled 2 way of the modern like 2000s era.. cause literally those next would be what kopitar/ toews/ bergeron/ marchand.. but pavel like wow
@@joebroaol I can't even see Marchand as a 2 way anymore. He's like half good/instigator half scorer. I feel if he played a little more clean his stats would be much better, just lacks the discipline
For a few years, I would have taken Datsyuk over any other player in the league. Absolutely elite at every single facet of the game. He could have scored many more points if he wasn't so responsible defensively.
Great job reacting to the magic man. The best 2 way player the game has ever seen. The best hands the game has ever seen. I almost tear up re living the old highlights . He was that good. A hockey immortal. If you want a good laugh, check out the the video of him playing keep away with Trevor Thompson. If you want to check out another red wing, check out sergi federov. He was waaaay faster than Pavel, played amazing d and scored a ton of goals.
Glad you enjoyed the video ! Thanks for the suggestion! 😊
Yes, Sergei Fedorov!
I’m 50 and Canadian 🇨🇦 so I’ve been watching hockey for 65 years 😂 Datsyuk is maybe Top 5 puck control players of all time. Pavel Bure (90’s) ‘The Russian Rocket’ can’t remember what nationality 🤣 also up there. So fast, so aware & controlled. Russians 😡
Russians 🔥🔥🔥
For a Finn, Bure brings back a lot of painful memories from Nagano -98
he is arguably the most complete player to play the game
I ran into him and Hudler after the Stanley Cup Parade in downtown Royal Oak they were so drunk it was hilarious. I didn't bother for autographs.
Yes here spent his entire career in Detroit. He was also drafted pretty late because the only scouts that saw him play before he was drafted were from the Red Wings. Literally, nobody had him on their radar.
Isn't that because we (as the wings) had like a huge russian fetish for a while? Like Larkin is our first American born draft pick since mid 80s 🤣
As a San Jose Sharks fan, I was obliged to hate the Red Wings and subsequently Datsyuk because we played so often. But man, he was a joy to watch.
Yessir... he was amazing. Pavel Datsyuk, growing up, was a legend in the making. He was an amazing two way player, who could strip the puck away from you or dangle you, and made you look like a fool. (Logan Couture is a great skater but the clip of him falling on his ass because of Datsyuk is one of those plays that shows you just how great he was)
He is a legend now. He is still playing in the KHL at the age of 42... you know you are gifted when time doesn’t deter you from playing your favourite sport for a living.
And the steals are called “takeaways” and if you are a top 5 leader from that category... there’s a good chance that you’ll win Frank J. Selke Trophy, which is awarded to the best defensive forward... which Datsyuk won three times.
Currently, he plays for the KHL (Europe or Russia - not sure which) and not for the NHL. He played his entire NHL career for the Detroit Redwings. Miss seeing him do his great moves on the ice.
he plays for Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg, hes home town. They just got eliminated by Ilya Kovalchuk and Avangard Omsk
KHL is a Russian League, with some teams from other countries, like a team from Finland and one from China. Almost all countries has his own national championship in Europe. Some little countries or countries where hockey is not that much popular have a championship with teams from 2 or 3 countries.
Datsyuk was a nasty man. My favorite player of all time.
I had forgotten, but you reminded me of the fact that he was really good at stealing the puck. “Picking their pocket” so to speak. He led the league in steals many times.
This video reminded me of something else about him. Players could not just push him off the puck. I don’t know why. He’s not a really big guy. Strong legs and great balance I guess. At 9:22 he knocks Zdeno Chara completely off his feet. Chara is the biggest hockey player in history. 6’9” tall.
He played his entire nhl career with Detroit yes. He retired from the nhl to go back to Russia to play
He led the league in takeaways for consecutive years and when they say “what a datsyukian deke” that term came from how good he dangles
Soòoooo good being in Detroit in those days. Viva Datsyuk!!
as you picked up on. For much of his career, he was one of the best thieves in the NHL and he was also one of the hardest people to take the puck from. If he had the puck the only way you were getting it back was by digging it out of the back of your net.
He was ok, for a God
Haha 😂👍🏻👍🏻
Pavel is the reason the word "Datsyukian" exists
If you notice a lot of the highlights are of him leaving 3 or 4 of the opponent's players just dumbfounded including the goalie as he works his way around/through them to pass or score
Hello, sorry I'm late subscribing. You should watch Pavel Bure. One of the greatest goal scorers of all time. And one of the fastest and most electrifying players of all time as well. His career was basically cut in half due to injuries. But he lead the league in goal scoring 4 times.
Thanks for subscribing! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add it to my list !
Datsyuk is your favorite hockey player’s favorite hockey player lol
Hahaha 🤣
I love that saying, I hope it's ok if I steal it.
Wings fan here to point out that the first goal against Calgary in the 07-08 part of the video was scored in the 06-07 season during the playoffs. Not a problem, just wanted to see where my wings fans at that remember
You mentioned early that you never heard of him. Pavel could have had many more goals but he played his role for the team first. He was one of the defensive forwards you want on the ice. His ability to steal the puck and just clear the zone on the penalty kill, or score short handed if the opportunity arises. He would have had more points and goals if he wasn’t so selfless.
Smartest player to play
The Red Wings have a long history of great players spending their entire lengthy careers in their uniform. They are an original 6 nhl team the other 5 also have the same ( New York not so much lol) . Actually Gordie Howe played his whole ( first.. 23 year ) nhl career in Detroit as well and I’m sure you know he was until Gretzky came along the all time leader in points and goals and is still widely considered the greatest all around player ever . The man played at a high level until he was in his mid 50s . And that’s just 2 there are several more examples. Great video btw
Yea it seems the red wings have had a good history for sure ! And thanks for the support 😊
Таких больше нет❤
Datsyuk's hockey stick is the only known hockey stick in existence to be made with thestral hair in its core, giving it the abilities of invisibilty, flight and the ability to find its destination.
No one cares about Harry Potter, dude.
He's not too bad for 171st overall in the draft
Haha he ain’t bad at all
The NHL 100 Bobby Orr video!
If a player has talent and puts in the work he will be a great asset. Without working to be better the talent won’t reach full potential.
Easily in the Top 10 Greatest.
This mans every video is about NHL but still calls himself NBA Fan 😂
The most insane thing about Datsyuk is he only left the NHL in like 2012-2014ish, to go play in the KHL, the russian hockey league. I believe he is still playing but possibly retired in 2019.
How good was Datsyuk? Crosby stayed as far away from him as possible because when he didn't things didn't go well for him. Want to make Crosby haters smile? Watch Datsyuk get missile lock and blow Crosby up with an open ice hit or make him spin in circles like a cat chasing a lazer pointer. I don't think there is one head to head interaction where Crosby beat Datsyuk. It just didn't happen.
As a Flyers fan I always enjoyed watching Crosby get shit on.
Check out Patrick Kane! Chicago
Blackhawks Winger. He has a little bit of datsyuk in him and some great highlight reels as well
yes I’ve actually reacted to Patrick Kane a while back, should be in my nhl player reaction playlist 😊
Silkiest Mitts in the west
In the Universe***
Datsyuk was drafted 171st overall. Meaning that every team passed him over like six times. Imagine being the guy who went 170.
You should see him walk you would not believe he can move like this on ice.
He's like the town drunk, on ground He's always stumbling and swaying, but toss that man on a boat and he'll look like an anchor.
Since Datsyuk retired, the Red Wings haven't made the playoffs.
Yzerplan
Actually you did better with his name than the commentators. :)
Haha yayyy awesome !
Should check out “15 times McDavid did the impossible”
Madin Russia.
You got check out Alex Kovalev the artists
I’ll add him to the list then !
Actually this video does not cover all his highlights
It won't let me post the screenshot, but I just saw an almost hour long video of Pavel highlights 2009/10 only I think it was. Also one of my favorites, was in the one you reacted but it's so quick, is when he checks Charra and puts him on his a$$, being Pavel is about 5 8 or 5 9 or so, and Charra is what, 6 4 or something and heavily outweighs him. Love it. Anyway, have a good night
Yea there are many highlights of him for sure, I will have to react to more of his highlights in the future 😊
@@acemodez3169 Zdeno Chara is 6'9"
Datsyuk is sweet but check out peter forsberg he is a warrior.
