There's More to the Story - Pavel Datsyuk 

He certainly is

He is but Gordie Howe was more points

@@ellaperl4174 yeah, sure. But you're comparing two completely different eras. Could u imagine the speed and skill of datsyuk in the 40s, 50s, and 60s?

@@africaRBG I could but I do agree

Most raw talent for sure. Not best all around though

Просто человек ставил на первое место КОМАНДУ,а не голы/очки/рекорды Он мог в разы больше выбить,если бы он думал о статистике! В остальном я с вами согласен,это самый лучший универсал в истории хоккея!! Вот с таких людей надо брать пример,а не брызгать слюной,смотря как тупая офисная деревяшка за счёт партнёров штампует по пустым воротам🤮🤮🤮

++++++++

+salvador celestino always

He is the best period.. may not be greatest goal scorer ever be he is the most talented ever. Id take his skills over any other player alive or dead

I hope he comes back to work as a front office guy, or coach or something. He’s a real class act. Like many of those greats, he embodies what it means to be a Red Wing.

​@@HousewolfDaddyбыло бы просто классно если бы Павел стал тренером в Детройте.

+Robert Larsson two haters were detected

+Vlad Me both of them are goalies

+Robert Larsson doubt this. just the losers who always "dislike", no matter what

19stalkern remember when he embarrassed no66 in his own arena pretty hilarious!

joseph a williams...The steal at the blue line?

19stalkern Perfect summary to his career sir!

Ugh...what I wouldn't give to watch a prime Datsyuk and a prime Bure play together. It would be just...amazing.

@@benxvariety8878 nick name for Pavel.

@@raskolnikov7049 i didn't know he had a nickname

+Eric Albrecht That just shows the respect you have for everyone I'm a Wings fan but there are a lot of players who I still can't get over there skills

Respek

The NHL has gotten better since he left, not because he left. But because of the influence he had when he played.

@Führerious he stayed in russia idiot

Both he and Z had backhands among best in league.

so about that lol

James Lemon I have some bad news for you bro

Red Wings fans have been on a hard ride lately but we have Yzerman back and it's a new beginning in Detroit. Thanks for the good comment.

what world is this guy living in

Underrated comment. They are actually incredibly similar in many aspects. Not the best of all time on their position, but still a legend, both had this medium-length carrier where it's not enough games played to be in top 5 statistic list, but at the same time managed to accumulate "HOF guarantee amount". Both considered by other players to be "one in a century" players and impossible to play against. Both had incredibly humble personalities on field/ice and of it, never succumbed to fame and insane praise by fans of not only their, but even rival team fans. Both have been somewhat not ideally built for the role, not as big, not as strong, as your "typical best players" of their position. And exactly that non characteristic build and style was used by both of them. And they did it in a manner that every coach/analyst/player would never even try to use because only naive dummy would think that one player can reliably outmaneuver entire enemy team and not get immediately shattered by veteran players who know much more about the game. They prove them all wrong, they did things nobody considered trying past high school level, they polished and refined their game so much that with one move would make everybody else on field look like clueless idiots lucky enough to witness greatness in a flesh. And they made it look so effortless that everyone who see it would say "why nobody ever tried to play like that?" because its obviously is The Way to do it.
