Pavel Datsyuk stuns Niklas Hjalmarsson

[polskathomas]

I love how the homer Chicago announcers were all like "and Hjalmarsson has Datsyuk lined up!!!" but then to their utter dismay, Datsyuk is the one who ends up hurting him.

[naptown450]

"One does not simply check datsyuk"

[KnightsBridgeDrive]

In Soviet Russia, you check Russian, Karma happens

[pmm2428]

Datsyuk>crosby, ovechkin 

he is a all around TEAM player who despite his size can take a hit, and has the best hands in hockey

[flyersfan128]

@pmm2428 agreed....but claude giroux is starting to take over as the new datsyuk

[wingsown8]

@flyersfan128 no

[superjay42]

Hjalmarsson just fell on his ass from sheer surprise at the fact that Pavs didn't magically vanish like he does every other time :)

[erichrocks92]

datsyuk is like a cat. no matter how much it seems like he's going down he always just lands on his feet and keeps going.

[mustbeburtreynolds]

Datsyuk say, "In Soviet Russia, puck carrier hit you..."

[randomazn420]

From russia with love hahaha

[Rex000z]

Still Hjalmarsson made him lose the puck = win

[TekTut0rials]

@Rex000z Yeah but he was trying to accomplish hitting him which he failed lmao.

[mustbeburtreynolds]

@Rex000z He looked like a douche and got hurt on the play = lose, lose hard

[meltz911]

Pavel may look small but he's a bag of muscle.

[GoBlackhawk88]

Haha even though I'm a huge Hawks fan I still don't get how that hit injured Hjalmarsson he was the one who was going in for the hit!!!

[LocoGroove]

@GoBlackhawk88 Because Dats is a badass, I think everyone should know that by now...

[brennand61]

huge slash before the hit!

[Metal66671]

People should learn by now that you can't check God

[Groudon92]

this season datsyuk will hit jagr

[FKatzenjammer]

I remember one of the first times Datsyuk did that. His rookie season, Chris Drury was still playing for the Avs and he had Datsyuk lined up for a similar hit as this one. Somehow Datsyuk saw him coming and Drury ended up on his ass. Totally unexpected, especially by Drury.

[NHLArchive]

@FKatzenjammer i wish i could find footage

[TheBollocksPictures]

Took the hit just like Peter Forsberg:)

[ROCKETS2965]

Hjalmarsson: "Come here bitch"

*HIT*

Hjalmarsson: "Shiiitttt."

[shueevon]

@ 0:15... I think he's throwing up.

[MickeyRenaud18]

That was a beautiful slash before the hit there by I think Toews

[rainick]

Moral of the story You can't beat Datsuyk

[NiteCrawler80]

Datsyuk is very much like a younger version of Sergei Fedorov, at his prime (when he was with the Wings, during the Yzerman years)

[ripelcannon]

OK, First of all, Datsyuk didn't hit the guy. He just absorbed the hit, he made no motion to check at all. The injury wasHjalmarsson's fault. He came into Datsyuk at a bad angle.. Datsyuk is a beast, and maybe underrated physically

[hockeyfreakboy99]

Datsyuk is very skilled bodycheker. Hitting is a skill in itself, we can see how some smaller guys consistently drop bigger guys.

[redgus95]

well datsyuk may be small, but damn hes solid.

[gnrfreak25]

wasnt that good of a hit?

[NHLArchive]

@gnrfreak25 gnr = not that good of a band

[spongedom96]

@NHLArchive lol nice

[matthewmaine]

BLAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Yeah Pav!!

[REDWINGSRED36]

We Miss you Pavs... :(

[jacob12721]

ow pavels elbow went ight into hjalmarsons ribs thats gadda hurt he prolly knocked the wind out of him...

[Sr20d3t]

You don't fuck with datsyuk!

[music7299695]

heehee, go Pavel! Hjalmarsson landed on his backside.. That comment just was delicately stating a huge truth.

[FacebookMeOnMyspace]

haha stupid ass hometown commentators..at least admit your dude just got laid out trying to hit the best 2-way forward in the league

[kiker0909]

homer announcers

[moneyball69]

datsyuk is deceptively powerful and when he gets the puck it is nearly impossible to muscle him off of it

[billfunky]

the only time datsyuks been hit in the last few years was when phaneuf elbowed him in the face in the playoffs a few years back. man pavel can move

[exposingscams]

Hjalmarsson is a dirty fucker, see what he did to Jason P from Buffalo? He only got two games where as that guy from the NYI got two games for a cock sucking motion.

[Skorowin77]

haha sit down

[K1NGofCRAZY]

Lolz datsyuk never gets hit

[rockndude87]

I was expecting an incredible deke since it was Datsyuk, but still that guy stood on his feet really well

[wmryan78]

time for the play-by-play guy to find a new job.

[blackhawks1818]

@wmryan78 They are chicago announcers stupid

[wmryan78]

@blackhawks1818 understood, but the play-by-play guy seemed to think Hjalmarsson caught Pavel with a big hit or something. kudos to old-chick for straightening his dumb ass out about what actually happened.

[rachelx1129]

mmmm go hammer! (: hawks 2010 champs bby'! <3

[NHLArchive]

@rachelx1129 Hjalmarsson just got laid out

[rachelx1129]

@NHLArchive yep! had to hurt. oh well. championssss!

[rachelx1129]

@rachelx1129 yeah, they're shit and they won the stanley cup...? makes a lot of sense. toews and kane? they're great hockey players. who cares. what about crosby and ovechkin? they're not overrated. riiiiightt.

[cccchristien]

@rachelx1129 Hawks are shit. Toews and Kane are overrated.

[Skillimidtchiev13]

@rachelx1129 the guy got nailed man, why are you even speaking?

[rachelx1129]

@Skillimidtchiev13 it's called i can say whatever the hell i want. didn't know the youtube comment police were cracking down so hard.

[almostboards117]

@rachelx1129 congrats on your 4th cup Chicago, we won that many in 10 seasons (1997-2008).

[rachelx1129]

@almostboards117 yep! congrats :D i actually have a lot of respect for the wings even though i'm a hawks fan.

[datsyuk1315]

haha players THINK they can check him but face it...they cant! he is uncheckable. when he sees a guy comin for him he lowers his shoulder and it backfires on the other guy.

go wings! (and Pavs) :) :)

[donovanmcvick]

Hahaha what a fuckin pussy, GO WINGS!!

[cousins851]

will people ever learn that datsyuk is basically uncheckable? jesus christ.

[redwingz1998]

@cousins851 ask mike grier and brendan morrow lol

[dwood16]

@cousins851 Maybe you should look around...he's been laid out hard before.

[cousins851]

@dwood16 really? show me it. besides that panheuf hit in the 06-07 season where he elbowed him in the face and then niedermeyer elbowing him in the 09 playoffs during a scrum. I have NEVER seen datsyuk get checked hard. NEVER. he's too strong on his skates. please, back up your comment and show me a video where Datsyuk is getting jacked up. I'm curious as to what you are going to show me, and im excited to find out that you cant find anything. i watch ever game bud. it just doesnt happen.

[SuperRedwing13]

@cousins851 Dog u stupid as hell!!!

[LiberatorEbola]

Pavs is effing WIDE. He's stocky as hell, his shoulders are damn wide.

[maizenblue15]

he doesn't even play for the wings this year tards...

[downeyfan20]

i heard in an interview once from I think Downey, that Datsyuk pound for pound was the strongest player on the wings, and he proves it, unreal

[IvIustangsvt2003]

@downeyfan20 ok and this comin from i think a downey fan...

[downeyfan20]

@IvIustangsvt2003 yeah what the fuck difference does that make

[IvIustangsvt2003]

@downeyfan20 my point is, u make it seem like if downey didnt say it it wouldnt be true....u just made it seem like the only reason ur givin datstuk credit is bcuz downey said something..thats all bro...didnt mean to offend u

[downeyfan20]

@IvIustangsvt2003 trust me man I've been a die hard Wings fan since I can remember, grew up in Detroit...i would've given Datsyuk credit if anyone on the team said it, he's one of the most unbelievable players to ever play the game, it was an interview with Downey, that's why I brought it up, if it was with Drapes or Linds or anyone else I still would've given him credit...Go Wings

[bishoppx]

@downeyfan20 He benches the most behind Lilja.

[bishoppx]

@downeyfan20 I wasn't arguing against you..... I was defending you..
