Pavel Datsyuk is my favorite player of this generation. As a lifelong Wings fan, I don't know if I can say that I love him more than Steve Yzerman, but he is electric. Any fan, devoted or average has to appreciate this video. A classy player on and off the ice. He will go down in my book as one of the most skilled players, but also as a person, one of the best players of this generation.
After picking Datsyuk, Chara said, “He is an unbelievable player. I admire the way he plays.” Later, Chara told the press, “I remember we had a game against [Datsyuk] in Boston and he was on a short-handed situation and made two or three guys look like Peewees… He just does stuff that really makes you go, ‘Wow, that was special.’”
Ha ha ha. Datsyuk is one of the greatest players of all time, and currently the best player in the NHL. Remember points aren't everything. Just watching this little video is all you need to see. I think I enjoyed watching Datsyuk steal the puck and then deke out that other Bruin. Just brilliant. Having such a humble star on my team makes me proud to be a Wings fan.
You can make highlight videos for goals, for passes maybe or anything else that is usually average-fan friendly. But anyone who knows hockey, knows that THIS is a true highlight video for the best player in the world. There's nothing this guy can't do out there.
Chara is a big goon. the fact that pav goes back at him while being almost a foot shorter speaks volume to pavs heart and courage. not a better player in the league, the guy is something special. i'm really glad the pierre said pav should be the league mvp, it's about time the guy gets some recognition.
I left after the game against calgary in detroit, drove overnight and spent thanksgiving in rhode island then got some shut eye in boston to watch this game. That move was so quick, a lot of boston fans in front of me were screaming he kicked it in, but when they showed the replay on the jumbo tron everyone shut up. To top it off it went to shootout and Wings won. One of the moments I will never forget. (yeah I want a fucking cookie! or a donut because there are a million dunkin donuts in bosto)
0:17 kid right under the 2nd period sign, thats me i got up out of my seat in aww when i saw him score on rask, my favorite player in the nhl love em glad hes on the red wings
This video alone is proof that the lockout needs to end. I'm not even a Red Wings fan, but seeing this guy 3-4 times a week is something I look forward to.
Dammn he made the pavel bure move look that easy!!! This dude was the best player I ever seen. Maybe not points wise but stick handling and defense and just hockey IQ is off the charts
Bertz skill on that play was amazing as well. The deflection of the puck into the zone, with the stick behind his back deflecting the puck between his legs, then the dish to Pav between charas legs. That was a skilled play from start to finish and the fact that pav hustled up ice after laying boychuk out behind the net, that play was a beuty!!!
Somebody please make youtube videos of datsyuk everygame. just like this video a collection of datsyuk moments from every game. He does this stuff every single game.
I hate the red wings but datsuyk is so crazy good that I have Tons of respect for him, I mean he has highlights where he misses the net but his moves are legendary
Chara is probably thinking, if this dude was any bigger he'd probably kill someone. look how much effort chara had to put into that hit from behind to pav to actually knock him down. chara is so much bigger than pav and it still took taht much. it didn't show pavs next possession of the puck in the offensive zone when pav turned his back to chara but knew he was coming at him. he braced himself and chara tried to hit him and pav didn't even move. what a beast!!!
great video! could you do a video of highlights of datsyuk from tonights game against tampa? he was sick! especially on that breakaway he had...he shoulda gotten a penalty shot!
also i love watching the wings play the bruins cause my supervisor is from the new england area, and when detroit beats the hell out of them, its just awesome lol
