Whatever Happened To...Pavel Datsyuk? 

Being a wings fan, I miss him. We, as a franchise miss the magic man, we’ll never see another like him.

Datsyuk undressed the opposition regularly and he did it with class.

You forgot to mention his Olympic gold medal

This hits me right in the feels as a Wings fan. One of the best players to ever lace up the skates, a 3 time Selke trophy winner, 2 time Stanley Cup champion, 4 time all star, and an Olympic gold medal winner. Detroit misses you Magic Man, you deserve to be on the list of the 100 greatest NHL players, and it's only a matter pf time before you find yourself in the hockey hall of fame. Also if I had any say in the matter, no Red Wing should ever wear the number 13 again

I really hope Pavel gets his jersey number retired by the organization. There'll never be another #13 like him.

Happy to be able to watch him play live for 3rd year in a row! Cheers from St. Petersburg!

I love this player, one of my all time favorites and he still performs very well today at the age of 40! His instinct and intelligence for the game is on another level. He is both an athlete and a chess player. Sometimes he sees the moves and opportunities ages before his opponents. It's like he can predict the future. SKA St. Petersburg has a sick team. Great contrast of experienced and young upcoming players. I'm hoping to see them play a NHL team in the near future. I don't think a NHL team would win so easily.

To me he is the best player ever. Of course there are other great ice hockey players out there but he is one combination of everything that makes the game hockey interesting.

Pavel was the only player I watch growing up. Very sad for him to be gone

Has never played a shit season, and has only been - once. He's 40 and still a absolute stud in the KHL, I'm curious to see how long he'll stay in the game.

This is pretty much just a guy reading his stats. Your missing how amazing this guy truly was. Probably the best puck handler of all time.

He has the best hands of all time

Decent summary, but you did not get into the soul of the man, and his amazing stick-handling skills. C+ Could do better.

Years ago we had yserman, and then we were fortunate enough to get daksyuk. I think his first cup win while playing with stevie was a great combo

He won 3 different types of championship,in the KHL, NHL, amd Russian Super League

Pavel, probably the best player in NHL.

I've been watching every one of these videos

1of 33 players in nhl history and 9 redwings to acheive triple gold aswell stanley, Olympic and iihf gold

I can't believe my Sabres past up on Datsyuk... But so did every team....

It's amazing to see how many good player have come from the bottom of that draft ... datsyuk, markov, kapanen, nittymaki, kotalik, neil... some first round don't have that quality 😅

His assists are insaneeee

best player ever.

He just wanted to play in the KHL because it was closer to his home

He won every possible major trophy in hockey 😂

I'd take Datsyuk in his prime over crosby ovechkin and every other star currently in the league without hesitation.

Forgot to mention Datsyuk is a member of the triple gold club.

My favorite player ever! ...class, skill, sixth sense and will drop the gloves when needed! Da Magic Man!!!

Man this guy could dangle

This is surprising, but if it were not for the draft, Datsyuk would have remained useless in Russia as well. Nobody ever knew about him. He was not invited to the central clubs; he did not play for the national team then. And then the case and Datsyuk became a member of the Golden Club (Stanley Cup + Olympics + World Championship) and there are only 30 such players in the world today

He's easily top 20 all time amongst Ds/Fs

Whatever happened to Derian Hatcher. Meet him at Wings Camp in Traverse City, Mi and bought his jersey that year. Played like one year with the Wings then just disappeared

RU-vid's recommendation algorithm is god awful. However, it did lead me to you! So, now, I subscribe to so many more channels to make up for YT's poor system. Keep up zee good work!

Whatever happened to Marian Gaborik

if you don’t know what happened to pav, you live under a rock and are not a real hockey fan

To those who don’t know, Detroit used to be in the west but was then moved to the east due to the fact that they have more rivals there. And other reasons obviously

One and only member of Quadruple Gold Club (Olympic, World, Stanley (NHL), Gagarin (KHL))

Man, as a Shark's fan I miss seeing the Datsyuk and the Red Wings in the playoffs!

Dainius Zubrus, Im lithuanian so I'd like to see him or kasparitis

Think you forgot Russian Superleague title in 2004-5. Captaining the Russian team to Olympic gold. World Championship Win in 2012 Serveral other less important trophies were also missed. While focusing on Datsyuk stats/accomplishments is good and all, it should be noted what certain things he was known for. Example stick-handling, defensive play, shootout/breakaways etc. It would give a more complete picture of the player. These videos are good, but seems they are taken in a bubble. Never looking at the circumstances surrounding the teams the players played for.

My favorite non-Flyers player of all time! Pasha be that dude.

Whatever happened to Marian Hossa?

What ever happened to Loui Ericsson

What ever happened to Chris Pronger

I miss your energy on the intros and videos. I know you probably tamed it down to be more friendly and what not but I enjoyed your old enthusiasm

I am a Blackhawks fan. He is the best player!

He was also traded to Arizona in 2016

He is playing in the KHL

R.I.P

He also switched from CCM helmet to Jofa when he switched teams.

U didnt mention datsyk flip

Please do Whatever Happened To Chris Pronger.

There's an information he can return to the NHL. Perhaps. There's kind a conflict between him and coach or coach's stuff. well..how future look like we'll see next season

For your info. Some russian players (including datsyuk) were using my private lessons, trickshots, some other techniques, where I expect compensation for that, Still I hear nothing. I lived there, in Ural, but from 1991 I live in the USA.

Still playing. In his home town of Yekaterinburg.

Why didn't you tell about Datsyuk's play for Avtomobilist Ekaterinburg?

How about that Olympic gold medal he won with Russia??

The real goat

I forgot he was a 6th round pick

British people clearly didn’t watch hockey back in 2015 eh

What happened to Pascual Dupuis

Come back to Detroit, and make sure he retires as a Captain.

What happened to teddy purcell? Seems like one day he was in the NHL then he just disappeared.

Please do Christ Stewart at some point.

Whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paperboy? Evening TV?

6:07 Willem Dafoe had a crazy second act in life, moonlighting under the alias “Pavel Datsyuk”

What ever happened to Henrik Zetterberg

Do one on Mario Lemieux

Whatever happened to Steve Mason?

And nhl hall of famer

Do Dwight King

He might come back to the wings for 19-20

Not sure but I think he probably retired. Just a guess though

What ever happened to this writer?

Do Trent Hunter.

Y is Detroit always getting knocked out on the second or first round

Whatever happened to Jared Cowen?

Kari Lehtonen?

Grabovski

He fled off to Russia and was charged with assault and murders of multiple goalies because he exposed too many ankles

He publicly retired from the NHL??....

He got old. Thats what happened. But he still plays in Russia

Whatever happened to Doug Weight, Boris Mironov, Miroslav Satan, Slava Kozlov, Bill Guerin

datsyuk was 56?

All Hail Datsyuk

Whatever happened to Teddy Purcell, he was in the NHL and it seemed like he disappeared overnight, isn’t he in the AHL now?

Great! Great! My greatest player is Dave Keon!

*reads title* well, he went back to Russia

I still wear my Datsyuk jersey for all wings home games. If you wanna watch some of his best moments here's part 1 of 4 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uaZ4s5yoGvQ.html

One of my favorite players, Marian Hossa! Like if u agree

Coyotes Legend

Whatever happened to tom mccollum? Hes gone becuz he sucked

He got old. Happens to everyone lol

Hey man I really like your videos BUT... Every time you start a video both GRRRREATINGS like you did in this one or whenever you kinda scream "THERE WAS A LOCKOUTTT" I litteraly want to turn the videos off it annoys me so much.... Maybe I'm the only one, but for me your videos are relaxing and these kind of things ruin the mood imo.

Don't get me wrong, I liked him and he was pretty flashy and was very good, but for some reason the numbers just aren't there, especially come playoff time

What ever happened to Karri Ramo
