Pavel Datsyuk Career Highlights: Part 1 - Regular Season (02-09) 

Very few players in history and I would argue none rivaled his offensive play making and his insane defensive skill. Some of his stats aren’t even traceable, him being on the ice and creating opportunities for other team mates. Super talented and I believe the greatest total hockey player ever. No weakness in his game, he handed out some big hits too.

57 minutes and 40 seconds later I am no closer to understanding how the mind of Pavel Datysuk works.

I’m a Flyers fan but the Magic Man is my favorite player of all time

Best NHL Player I've Seen in my Life! Way Better than Gretzky! I still say it's true today! I just had a recent birthday in my upper 50's and Datsyuk is the the best!

The best Detroit Player ever! And NHL too!

I still to this day, have yet to see anyone do the things he was able to do. Definitely my favorite player of all time.

As a Wings fan, I am awesomely blessed to have watched Datsyuk. He did things that no hockey school could teach

He assisted Brett Hull's 700th goal and Yzerman's final NHL goal (692).

This man is my favorite player I’ve ever seen. I need his jersey I’m a Detroit native but he is ridiculous. I’m 26 and a hockey player but he is an absolute legend

There's been a lot of players to come through Detroit that have been a blast to watch play, but none of them for me has made more of an impression than Datsyuk. He was an absolute joy to watch, always making every play he was on the ice for exciting. He left such an unfillable hole when he left the NHL. So much fun to watch!

I have never seen any highlights with so many "unbelievable" and "oh my goodness" ) Pasha was true magicman.

The major WOW-factor producer!

Gary Thorne calling Datsyuk plays on TV gives me goosebumps every time. It's almost like I want to tear up, no matter how many times I see the same play! Wow.

I watched every game his rookie year. I was laid off from my job.

I don’t think people understand how good datsyuk seriously was. He, in terms of overall ability in the O and D zone, could be top 5 all time. Skill wise, I’d say top 3

Thanks for everything, Magic Man.

Well if this video is not a proof that Datsyuk is one of the best of all time, I don't know what is. I was smiling through the whole video and watching in awe as Pav did his magic. Future Hall of Famer and hopefully Wings retires his number

Datsyuk and Hossa was such a short but sweet relationship :,)

He's = HIP = highly intellectual player, composer of the hockey game, one of the best creatures of the Mother Nature.

Павлик,, такой красавчик. Наш герой,несомненно.

He's my favorite redwing ever and I grew up watching him play my whole life and I think I'm gonna cry.

Steve Yzerman is my all time favourite and Gordie is the Goat, but Pavel is the best I’ve ever seen

Художник!!! Так всё просто у него выходит.

На три вещи можно смотреть бесконечно - на огонь, на воду, и на то ,как играет Паша Дацюк.)) Как кошка с мячиком.

а что тут скажешь то, дацюк легенда номер 13

29:00 is my favorite all time. A show of the eyes in the back of his head, his jukes and his magic

Я всегда называл его номер 1 !!!

Волшебник

Замечательное видео о Паше.

Павел уникальный игрок, и его виртуозная игра заставила других играков его клуба не принудительно а с наслаждением повышать уровень своей игры, ведь так приятно играть в хоккей с Пашей.

Да!!! Уж не бей-беги..Играет как буд-.то ИГРАЕТ!!!!!!!!! Волшебство!!!

Datsyuk stardom was making other players shine. So much, it's hard to find other players video's speaking highly of his play. Unless it's Red Wing related.

The video I'd like to see is interviews with the guys who played with Datsyuk. Play after play he seems to serve up perfect passes. Hull, Zetterburg, Holmstrom, and may more can credit Datsyuk for a number of their goals.

Помню как Павел играя за уральцев забил самую красивую шайбу, которую я видел. Я тогда сказал, что Павел будет ярчайшей звездой в НХЛ, если ему дадут туда перебраться. А сколько таких невероятных шайб он забил ещё. Если бы не подборки из НХЛ никто бы не знал о нём иначе чем из устных расказов его стареющих фанатов. К счастью, благодаря цивилизации, американцам и канадцам, эти шедевры удалось увековечить.

i had tears in my eyes at the end of game 5 because it was datsyuk's last game

Datsyuk, hull and Fedorov....what a line

Павел гений!

Federov to Datsyuk to Hull..my god. That line should never have ever been possible, let alone what that entire team was.

As a red wing fan, and datsyuk fan, I truly appreciate your hard work and dedication mate!

Man, I was going to drive to Detroit specifically to see him play live this last season :(

My god that datsyuk, zetterberg, and hull line was just nasty

I love these videos !!!!! We need more long highlight videos

You're a wizard. Thanks!

Just finished watching the whole vid, simply fantastic Awood... Us fans that bleed red, we love your channel. I've watched just about every video you have, some multiple times over. A database of history. There will never be another Pavel Datsyuk, simply one of the best two-way players ever. His defense was exciting to watch let alone offense. Probably the best neutral zone player I have ever seen, and the best at turning defense into offense. And it was great to see some of the plays that did NOT result in goals. These are the lost shifts where we still see magic, buried beneath the highlights. Keep up the awesome work

Great player

Hes my favourite player bar none. The fact that someone (awood40) has taken the time to compile this is truly special. Thanks man, this will be going into my favourites!

God I miss having him in Detroit. (edit) We have been spoiled as a Red Wing fan growing up in the 90's and I recognize that.

Я много здесь пересмотрел видео с Павлом. МЫ одногодки и он мой мотиватор по жизни, а в своем деле он - он Брюс Ли хоккея. Но никак не мог застать гол, который ну, точно есть - гол рикошетом от вратаря. Вот на 17.20 вроде как он, наконец то!!!

Downloaded, saved, cherished. Man, this is the tribute of all tributes. Amazing.

He will be missed.

классное видео волшебника, из-за него полюбил Detroit our NHL, жалею что Паха не остался до конца карьеры в крыльях..

Holy cow. Could you imagine playing again a line of hull datsyuk federov Lindstrom and who cares about who else. Omg

Great video. Gonna miss him so much...

Goal at 31:21 might be one of his top 5...

What a beaut! Awesome vid, thanks for the work, bud!

Good bye Pasha. Will miss you

Для меня лично Паша остаётся самым великим игроком и статистика здесь совсем не причём

It's was an absolute privilege to watch datsyuk play over the last 15 years. Definitely took it for granted, I'm going to greatly miss the magic man. And as always, awood puts out quality videos! Thanks awood!!

Как жаль что, не получилось видеть, все его матчи. Реакция болельщиков нхл говорит о его величии. Браво Дацюк🤝

Awood. You are the real MVP

i love how you group your highlights, like a string of nice goals, 5 cross-ice assists, 3 wraparounds, etc. it has a very good rhythm

Sometimes I forget why I’m a diehard wings fan, but then I see this video and replay my childhood of watching this guy play every night, and I know why I’ll never root for another team

You do such an amazing job with these videos man! You are the best! I can't tell you enough how much I love them and as a wings fan, how happy these videos make me and probably everyone else who watches them! Keep up the amazing work and thank you

imo the only other players in history that can/could compete with Datsyuks all around game is Forsberg, Jagr, and Lemieux. Easily one of the greatest of all time.

These dangles, that wrist shot, those jockstraps. #hockeyporn Thanks for all the great highlights over the years, Awood. Bye, Pavs. :(

always love your Datsyuk videos, keep it up! we appreciate it .

Игра Павла это искусство! Если играть в ассоциации - Дацюк это да Винчи. Например, Саша Овечкин - это Малевич и черный квадрат. Но всем добра и здоровья, Овечкина в первую очередь.

His stats would’ve been even more impressive if he didn’t play behind Yzerman, Larionov, Federov, etc earlier in his career. Not much ice time. Also, his last few seasons the wings were on a sharp decline. Not to mention his attention to the defensive side of the game.

Лучший

The quality will be a little more consistent in Parts 2 and 3. It's all over the place in this one due to limited footage from these years and HD internet video not existing yet. Don't have a timeframe yet for when the next 2 will be finished, but if I had to guess, I'd say sometime in July and August.

One of His most underrated qualities is showcased at 3:30. I swear He lives at least six seconds in the future.

thanks for doing this. Sad to see that he won't have anymore highlight goals in the nhl but love him anyways. thanks can't wait for part 2

Hey man, watched part 2. Just started on this one. Thanks for these highlights! It makes me miss Lidstrom, Holmstrom, and Hull. Those were the days! #letsgoredwings

Amazingly ironic he got goal #1 against Carolina considering what happened later that year

Great player, great video, have to appreciate!

High quality content, even for low quality video. Love you channel, please keep this up

The best russian in NHL, i don't care about others, this is better

Гений хоккея. Когда так начнёт играть большинство - раскроется сущность игры, как - я господствующий над шайбой и обстоятельствами!

How the hell did he see Big Bert at 25:11!?I hate when people compare Datsyuk to God. I mean, he is good and all, but he's no Pavel Datsyuk.

At 13:08, 13:59, and 36:59, you can tell that there are a large number of Red Wings fans (possibly the majority) at the United Center. That just goes to show that most of today's Blackhawks "fans" are bandwagoners, which is why I have no respect for Chicago and their idiotic fans. At 14:53, Datsyuk assisted on Yzerman's 692nd and final NHL goal. We all know about the chemistry Datsyuk had with Zetterberg as the Euro Twins, but highlights from 2008-09 showed the chemistry Datsyuk also had with Hossa, which was definitely just as impressive. Just imagine if Hossa remained in Hockeytown for more than one season. One can wonder. The best moment of this entire video is definitely at 50:15; the Magic Man shows off his soccer skills. And thank you so much +awood40 for making these amazing videos, you have no idea how much it means to big Red Wings fans like me and others! LET'S GO RED WINGS!

50:26 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣 For the first time I saw a video with this funny moment!

Amazing video dude.

WHO WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO?

Magic

Защитники и вратари знали, что в какую бы сторону они не начали движение, Павел уже будет двигаться в противоположную.

Oh, man. Thank you for this.

what I don't understand is how you can get as good as datsyuk?

Pavel complete Master of fence

awood40 you are the man.

Popping the water bottle off the net is like scoring a hat trick.

Говорят,Павел шведов в хоккей играть научил на свою голову-))))

Pavel Datsyuk!!! 13 the magician!

Павел великолепен, однако были нормальные ребята, Зеттерберг

Thanks so very much for the Magic Man highlights! Sure brings back some exciting memories! Thanks also for the current highlights also! I'll have to see if I can find the part 2 of this!

Great work dude, keep up the awesome wings content

AWOOD FOR PRESIDENT! THANK YOU!!

Как детей катает соперников на льду,как детей!!!

Hi from Russia! The best video which i watched

And yet, he never had the big head of say, Alex Ovechcan. No, he never scored 50+:goals in a season. But he made A LOT OF STARS, by his simplicity of skating.

Бретт Халл вообще легенда
