Top 10 Pavel Datsyuk Goals Of His Career 

Well I think it is safe to say tha the Preds were happy when Datsyuk went to the KHL...

Likely the player with the highest pure skill level I've ever seen play the game. I grew up a Blackhawks fan in Chicago, but Datsyuk was always one of my favorite players to watch. His puck control, his poise, his hockey IQ...he was innovative and dangerous every time he touched the ice. What an absolute joy to watch. Every goal on this list, if it were scored by another player, it would likely be their single best goal ever scored. Datsyuk was just different. An artist on skates.

Been watching Hockey for 30 years or so, and I have NEVER EVER seen 1 player create so much chaos!!! And he's not even an enforcer!!! He'll position opponents to collide, Goalies to collapse, and steal pucks like a Man playing against Kids!!! AWESOME PLAYER!!!

I am Finnish and laughing how many our goalies he humiliated in this Top 10. Amazing player.

со всеми своими заслугами это очень скромный челок ,спасибо Паша за сказку на льду

Watching Datsyuk play is like watching Mozart compose or Michelangelo paint - it brings a tear to your eye

The greatest player of the 21 century in my opinion. The word genius is overused; it should be reserved for the Einsteins of the world. Datsyuk was a genius. Absolute genius.

Even if you'd put him in the Hockey Hall of Fame and Detroit retired #13, he'd still be underrated.

I miss him so much in Detroit. One of the best players to play the game.

Rinne x3, Niemi x2, Rask & Lehtonen x1. Datsyuk clearly has something against Finnish goalies

One of the best puck handlers of all time,miss the magic man

Man. We were so blessed as wings fans to have so much great hockey for so long!!!

Волшебник - не то слово. Для таких как он, слов нет вообще.

Думал что лучше Харламова по технике никого не будет, но в хоккее появился Макаров для моего поколения, но Павел Дацюк- это нечто совершеннее: связь мышления,техники и психологии и во всем большая любовь к хоккею что дало такую работоспособность над совершением его гениальных многоходовок и хитросплетений: пойти одному на четырёх- другие один в один не решаются пойти в обыгрыш - такая неистовая уверенность в том что он делает как будто бы у него крылья за спиной- счастье видеть игру такого мастера-ВОСХИЩАЮСЬ!

Who can dislike this??? Magic! Professional!!! Very modest, smart and clever man!

His takeaways and just ability to maintain the puck is out of this world.

*Pekka Rinne has left the chat*

Datsyuk's top 10 goals against Nashville would beat most player's top 10 goals in a career.

Самый добрый волшебник в мире, сколько неподдельной радости он приносит людям всех возрастов он неповторим!!

А ведь реально волшебник... даже в свои 43 он творит чудеса

When people say Jonathan Drouin is fast and has great hands, I’m laughing and crying at the same time, because every time I think about Pavel Datsyuk. Such a great player, the true example to make a team win by himself. Thanks Datsyuk for all these memories and I hope your number gets retired too, you’re too good not to do it

Occasionally I just go on a Datsyuk viewing spree to relive de memories. The best 2 way forward to ever play the game. His +- of 249 says enough.

От Дацюка муражки по коже ! Greeting from Kazakhstan

One of my favorite players in the history of the NHL. Even if I were an Avs fan, I’d still love him!

He was the reason I started to watch NHL. What an amazing player. Greetings from Spain Pavel :)

What to say here - goals and play of Datsuk are following best traditions of soviet hockey school. Brilliant player.

Not only was Datsyuk one of the most talented players to ever play the game with his skill and artistry but his defense was also sublime for a forward as evidenced by his takeaways. His hands were really magic. The magic man he was!!!

This guy was from another world. Just fantastic.

He's such a legend and everyone knows it. But I still feel like he's super underrated 😂

He's literally just like "excuse me i'm just gonna get around ya here bud"

Один из лучших хоккеистов за всю историю хоккея. Молодец Павел!!!

Эстетическое наслаждение было смотреть за магией Павла на льду! Спасибо за такое волшебство! Я был счастлив, когда смотрел на твою игру. И очень очень рад, что ты выиграл Олимпиаду 2018 и вошел в "Тройной клуб"! Хоккейный Волшебник и очень добрый, скромный человек. Всех благ тебе в дальнейшем. Легенда.

There was just something else about datsyuk,about the way he played the game , the way he was smart, we won't see the likes of him ever again

Avs fan for life. Obviously every true fan of either team, knows the history. I’m not ashamed to say.... i LOVED watching this guy play. Almost as much as I loved watching Forsberg play. Just unbelievable how skilled he was. Loved his attitude as well. Being the best player, on almost every night he played. Not once do you see arrogance, just skating humbly along be the best. Respect!!!’

С таким наслаждением смотрю как Павел забивает и просто не могу поверить, что этого парня когда-то не брали в хоккей... Павел ты просто гений!!! Спасибо тебе за твою прекрасную игру!!!

Players like Patrick Kane and Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, wouldnt exist and have the hands they do today.. if it werent for Pavel Datsyuk... He elevated and changed the game. Nobody had EVER even come close or attemp to do the things he did, and still nobody after him has either. He brought a style to the game, for stickhandling and deking, that was silky smooth, and allowed players growing up to model themselves after. He’s the stickhandling and deking GOAT. Softest hands of all time, and between him and Henrik Zetterberg.. theyre 2 of the greatest 2 way players of all time, no question.

Pavel Datsyuk is so good that even with his trophy room filled with Cups, Selkes and Bings, you still can't help but feel he is the most underrated player of all time. He rarely makes the conversation of greatest player to ever play the sport, but I literally can't think of a purer talent for hockey than Pavel Datsyuk. #13 should be hanging in the rafters.

One of the most skilled and creative players ever. It was an absolute privilege to get to watch this guy live. The backhand at #8 is filthy

Yes, a wizard born for ice.... Played with love, for the team, for the fans❤

As someone who was born in ‘02 and got to watch the 5-10 years at the end of the Datsyuk era, it really shows nowadays how much influence he had on the people my age. The guys born around my time and who grew up watching the same hockey as me are now starting to filter into the league and you can just tell they were imitating Datsyuk in their driveway in the 2000’s, then they were really getting them down throughout high school and college/on a farm team in the 2010’s, and now they are filtering into the league and they are making what he used to do seem normal and I love it.

Watching Datsyuk highlights never gets old or does it cease to put a smile on my face...in fact...I get emotional watching such Artistry...

Павел!!!! Умница!!!! Гордость!!!!!! И ВЕЛИКИЙ ТАЛАНТ!!!!!!!

Might be the greatest defensive forward of all time. He never had 40 goals or 100 points in a season but had the talent to exceed those numbers. Defense was first for him, but imagine if it wasn't. What would his numbers be.

Love listening to Brett Hull talk about playing with Pavel in Detroit was Pavel was in his rookie season...He called him the greatest pure talent he had ever seen....pretty high praise...

Just when you think you are gonna take the puck off him he puts you on fourth street and makes you look foolish . I’m a Bruins fan but you can’t say he didn’t excite you when he touched the puck . Plus he made everyone look so good around him . I wish he didn’t go to the KHL . :( there will never be another Magic Man . Thank you Pavel !

Когда не знаешь что делать с шайбой, отдай пас Паше , он сделает всё за тебя! 🏒😎👍

Goal number 9 - Datsyuk is a rookie, playing on the Brett Hull line and scoring. The look on Hull's face is priceless

Magic! True excellence.

2:32 #6 even deked out the goal cam

missing him so mutch in NHL. he is the TOP 5 players in hockey history that can handle, digle the stick like that with the hockey sens and pure talent. Mario Lemieux, Pavel Datsyuk, Pavel Bure, Bobby Orr, Alexei Kovalev. Wow Russian Power

I'm proud to be a Red Wings fan! I'll never see another Datsyuk in my lifetime (neither will the rest of you, by the way), but I started watching the Wings in 1985 and became a fan. We've had some great players (an understatement!), but none like this!

We all know the Red Wings had many good rosters during there are many Stanley cups and trips to the Stanley cup but this guy right here is one who I feel like was under appreciated especially with the mad talent that he had... If only us Detroit fans knew 15 years later how bad our team needed a player like him or a player w even half of the skills that he possesses 🤦‍♂️

Some pro hockey player on another NHL team said that he and several of his teammates the next morning tried the Datsyuk move on Turco, skating on one blade as he finished the goal. He said they all fell down and ended up in the corner every time they tried to do the same.

We were so spoiled in Detroit for so long. Has been and always will be one of my absolute favorite players in the game.

That slo mo deke on Niemi is one of my favorite if not my favorite highlight reel Shot of all time.

Kinda unreal that he was drafted in the 6th round 171st overall. Crazy!!!

It never gets old watching Pavel Datsyuk

Дацюк входит в список спортсменов , которые каждый в своем виде спорта добавлял в соревновательный процесс изюминку волшебства. Роналдиньо в футболе , Рой Джонс в боксе , Кайри Ирвинг в баскетболе , Таль в шахматах , Болт в спринте .... список можно продолжать... Были ли они лучшими или нет можно спорить или соглашаться. Одно несомненно -они неповторимы

The most skilled player of all time. If he didn’t focus so much on his defensive play he would be a multiple time 100+ scorer

If you ever have some time to kill, there are at least 30 more Datsyuk goals that the average NHL player can't do. This is the most underrated player of all time. His speed and puck handling abilities are not human. In his prime, if not surrounded by the most talented players ever assembled on to one team, he would have lead the NHL in goals and assists for several years. That's my opinion, and yes, I have always been a Red Wings fan, so it is a biased one. Cheers mates.

The 2 dislikes are Pekka Rinne and Antti Niemi

One of Datsyuk's most famous goals is a shootout in January 2010, when Pavel beat Chicago goalkeeper Antti Niemi with a mocking "parachute". The Black Hawks eventually won the Stanley Cup, but there is no doubt that Niemi remembered this puck for many years as in a terrible dream...

Best hands to ever play the game. Pantsed a lot of forwards, defensemen, and goalies in his career.

Best player ever-PD🙏☀️Thank you Pavel for everything.You gave me lot of joy.God bless you🙏СПАСИБО Pascha🙏

Datsyuk, imo, was the best 2 way player of the 21st centery. 2 Cups, 4 or 5 Selke awards, multiple Lady Bing awards. What made him stand out was his defensive play.

Definitely one of the smartest and most technical players in the history of hockey. Incredible hands, intelligence, ice skating. A real gentleman on the ice. The advantages of Datsyuk can be listed for a very long time, but the magic that he created on the ice is the main thing. His execution of the bullets, will forever go down in history. The Magic Man...

he made a panenka penalty...in football, that is a cheeky and a dangerous move because it makes you look stupid if you miss it but this guy pulls it off, in ice hockey. just outstanding skills with audacity to match

Pavel and Henrik. I miss both so much

Not a Red Wings fan but I miss him.

His skateing was elite. fresh ice, bad ice, it made no difference. Never see Pavel lose an edge out there.

Два игрока уровня Дацюка в команде и это супер клуб. Игрок с потрясающим чутьём как в атаке так и в обороне! Лучший... 💯

Вот как играет настоящий волшебник😁😁. Ниеми этот буллит не забудет ни когда

Уважили, sportsnet, нас на 23 февраля. С Праздником, мужики! Дядя Паша, конечно, нереальные вещи делал! Шайба как приклеена к клюшке!

One of the very best of the last 30 years for sure he was great defensively he scored 20-30 every year he was a great skater and a good playmaker

Rewatching these highlights will never get old. He finds a way to abuse any second of weakness against the best players in the world and makes it look effortless

His ability to go backhand forehand and then release is among the best ever. If you're a kid and can do that, you'll be scoring a lot of goals. It's almost like a deflection to himself, love that move

С какой он планеты??!!!! Так не честно!))))) Как играть против такого?)) Супер!

Absolute joy to watch these highlights . Pavel Datsyuk will go down as one of the most exciting and impossibly skilled players ever to grace the game of hockey .

A very patient and cunning player. That is an unbeatable combination. Had he come of age with these skills in the 1970s he would have been the greatest to ever have played the game, Gretz included.

Pavel Datsyuk, The Magic Man. Number 13 which was his Lucky Number! It was so much fun watching him play for my favorite team! Go Red Wings!

I've never seen anyone with as quick of moves as him. He's a damned magician

Absolutely incredible! Absolutely fantastic player! Absolutely nr1 to watch!

There have been many outstanding players in the history of the Detroit Red Wings. The best sniper of the team is Gordie Howe, the best captain is Steve Yzerman, the best defender is Nicklas Lidstrom. And Pavel Datsyuk simply - " The Wizard» Of course, first of all, he will be remembered for his technique, how easily and naturally he handled the puck. Not only did he score fantastically beautiful goals, but his game gave off a sense of lightness, that he did it at ease, almost without wasting energy, without extra effort. Even taking the puck from him turned into an art. Without a doubt, he is one of the most talented and gifted players in the world. And I also want to say-thank you to his partners! For what helped Pavel to showcase his talent throughout his career! I want to believe that Detroit will forever secure his number #13...

As for pure talent, he’s one of the greatest to ever play. Some are born, some have to develop their talent. I would probably add Mario, Bobby Orr, Kharlamov and Bure to make it the top five pure talents. Oddly enough, the four added, never got to play their full careers, except for maybe Kharlamov. RIP.

Any true hockey fan knows that Datsyuk in his prime was the best player in the NHL, if not the world. Neither Sidney Crosby or Ovechkin could match his 200 foot game.

I miss this man, I’m glad to see he’s playing still in his homeland

He´s a legend. Great player!!!

Высший пилотаж)

Паша - бесконечная легенда хоккея💪💗 Go Wings!

What a great player. He could ave easy 50 per yr, but the team came first and he was a great 2 way player.

Wow,obsolutely stunning he is indeed a magician

Спасибо за шедевры Павел.

Best stick handler of all time! Also he has the best dangles

Феноменально. Наслаждение. Красота!

Watching Datsyuk play just makes you smile

My God. This man is beautiful.

Being a young kid watching him play live at the Joe is something not a lot of people will ever get to do I am very lucky thank you Datsyuk

That man is a legend. This is coming from a Penguins fan.

Inisesta of hockey! Pure Magician

Made it look so easy! We miss the magic man
