not just saying this because im a red wings fan, this guy is freakin amazing ith the puck, he can control it unlike anything ive seen in such a long time
I have watched a lot of hockey over the years and I have never seen anybody who has come close to Datsyuk when it comes to pure entertainment value. He does things on the ice that most players only do in practice. He is very creative with the puck.
I believe Gretzky did that before and hit the goalie in the back which ended up in a goal. Either way, great hockey sense. The usual "role player" hockey players will never understand.
@razorslice17 ever try it during a NHL game? Talking about the top caliber players in the world and he dangles them like they're pee-wee. Datsuk is the greatest stickhandling NHLer in history.
No he's not. Alexei Kovalev, Paul Kariya, Jaromir Jagr, Peter Forsberg, and Mario Lemieux were all better stick handlers. Kariya used to stickhandle through pylons blindfolded and when Kovalev was on his game there wasn't a player in the league who could take the puck away from him.
@razorslice17 Matter of opinion. Unfair thing about comparisons with older players is there's a lot more vids of the newer players. Forsberg was my favorite player when he was active, especially during his years with the Nordiques. Kovalev is top 10, Lemieux is probably the best overall player to ever play in the NHL. But if I had to pick one player as my playmaker, its Datsuk all day.
Picking a franchise playmaker is a different story. I admire Datsyuk for his two-way ability, there are maybe 1 or 2 playmaking centers I would pick over him.
@razorslice17 You're high on glue if you actually Kovalev or Kariya were ever anywhere in the same ball park as Datsyuk in stick/puckhandling. He'd undress 'em both and leave their jocks hanging in the rafters.
Lemieux and Jagr weren't as good either. They didn't have to be as good in their hayday of wide open offense. The game being played from such a defensive standpoint is the reason guys like Datsyuk are as good with stickhandling as they are.
I don't understand what's amazing or anything about that? He didn't make a goal or anything, he didn't even get the puck straight back for himself. Anyone can just throw the puck over the goal like that, what's so special?
The people who say Datsyuk is the best in the world live in the western conference and don't see players in the east as often and vice versa for the Crosby fans... Just makes me LOL.
BTW best hands in the NHL is Kovalev but he's a huge slacker so who cares.
Datsyuk, the best player in hockey? lol... Right... I guess skating on the outside along the half boards makes you amazing and flicking the puck over the net... Didn't see a goal scored there, so he skates around and nothing happens wow. Go look up Crosby Spezza, that's results... Crosby comes back after a year out and he has 6 gp and 11 pts, Datsyuk has 24 gp and 23 pts... Crosby back checks just as hard. Crosby is the best fucking player in hockey today. Crosby Haters = Datsyuk Fans...
@oilers1go1 Really? Datsyuk has 4 Lady Byngs, 3 Selkes, 2 Cups and a Plus-Minus award. Crosby has 1 Hart, 1 Cup, 1 Art Ross, and 1 Mark Messier Leadership award. How can you act like Crosby is so much better? I never said Crosby wasn't good, he's stellar. You're just an ignorant, pathetic fanboy who knows nothing of hockey as I stated before. Crosby is a better scorer, Datsyuk is better defensively and they're both phenomenal play-makers. Shows your hockey knowledge there chap, or lack there of.
@tonytonz88 This has nothing to do with what we're debating. I never said Datsyuk has/will have a better career. The point I was making was Datsyuk isn't a terrible player like he was saying, any true hockey fan can admit who's good and who isn't, and not just fanboy over a team/player. Just because I'm a Wings fan, doesn't mean I think everyone else is trash, and it doesn't mean I think all Wings are the greatest ever. Re-read my post, I was distinguishing their playstyles through their awards.
@Slahshz You serious, bro? What do you think I've been saying this whole time? Wish people would read my comments thoroughly. I'm one of the ones defending Datsyuk's play with all the Crosby fanboys acting like he's 10x better than Datsyuk.
@iiDetonation there completely different players. Crosby is a goal scorer. Datsyuk is a playmaker with sick dangles and snipes now you be the judge whos better crosby or datsyuk? personally i say datsyuk is more skilled but crosby is more of a goal scorer.
@Slahshz crosbys not a playmaker, are you serious??? Dude had 84 assists in his second season. Crosby only became more a goal score because he plays with fourth liners... they weren't burying the chances so he adjusted. When datsyuk goes from 30 to 50 goals, let me know.
Comming from a hawks fan this guy is the best talent in the NHL, he has everything you look for in a hockey player, great defense, AMAZING puck handeling skills, very fast i'd say he is the best 2 way player not only in the leauge but top 3 of all time hands down.Crosby and Ovechkin are great but this guy is the best in the leauge right now.
There was no call on the tripping because it was incidental. The refs were right not to call it. Datsyuk has serious skill, but it only deflates your praise when you diss on other great players as way of example.
@wugpot in the NHL Playoffs? Prob not. Datsyuk is the best player of the 21th century. He might not score 50 goals/season but no top forward works harder in the defensive zone.
For fucks sake. Why is it that 75% of the nhl video's i watch are recorded by monkeys on a netbook. learn to record/render. I'll find this play elsewhere so i can watch it at decent fps and not see choppy garbage
@MGSDude01 lol i can pop a puck over the net too, does that mean i make crosby look like a kid? dumbass.... plus crosby scored from behind the net before he even made into the nhl
@MGSDude01 congrats 43 out of 95,000 people who watch this vid gave u a big ol thumbs up... and yes ive done that when i played ice hockey, in highschool, if you ever played ice hockey and had the slightest amount of skill youd be able to do it too
I hate to say this but Datsyuk wasn't the first to do this. Pavel Bure had done this before and he actually successfully went around the net to try to bang it in before the puck even hit the ground.
@Lightsydephil And...no one said Pavel is the first guy to do this. But he certainly is the first guy to do it in a playoff game. Mmkay? No need to argue >_>
Anyone see Datsyuk trip #34 Neidermeyer? Guess not. I hate Star Eyed refs blind to cheep shots made my star players. Datsyuk is a great puck handler, but he can play dirty sometimes. Just like the rest of the Red Wings. Ref's are supposed to be non-biased.
@JaySharp604 this was one of the more embarrassing displays of stupidity by neidermeyer. they guy is great when he is winning, but a stick touches him and he acts like a truck ran him over. I can't believe he didn't get suspended for any of the elbows he threw, particularly after the whistles. as for calling tripping on this play, you have no grasp on what didn't get called in this series. if they called everything, the ducks would never have 5 players on the ice.
@JaySharp604 yeah he plays so dirty he has 3 lady bings, shit happens from time to time and that was no way intentional, if the refs are biased for detroit, why has detroit had more goals dissalowed than any other team in the league?
@walfgong good to see someone recognize a defensive play as well. they're rarely the plays that make highlight reels. i am a wings fan down to the core but that also means that i know just how hard it is to defend datsyuk and this is a solid defensive play
@thewhitewhale11 you wanna see another example of a defensive play, check out how after zetterberg throws the puck right to the anaheim forward, pav gets it back once again, and then completely fakes him out to retain possession.. the man is a god, some of the best hands in the league, and an incredible two way player as well.
I'm not trying to say this wasn't a "beauty" of a play, but you can see he clearly trips #34 after he is skating away from the net by hooking is stick around is lag.
even if some red wing batted it in..it would be disallowed cause of highstick....dang man, nhl removed all the nice crazy stuff that used to make hockey so much more interesting
A high stick is when your stick is above the crossbar or above the shoulders. The ducks player didn't even have his stick above the cross bar when he hit it.
i never understand whats amazing about this??? every body in nhl can flip the puck over the goal. if he at battede it in on the other side, then it would be something to talk about. anyway hes a great player
This is why I love the Detroit Red Wings, they have amazing player and puck movement. Watch it again, look how they're all constantly moving, getting into open spaces, making options available. I love these guys.
@realhardheaded It won him three consecutive Selke trophies, four consecutive Lady Byng trophies, three conference championships, two consecutive 97-point seasons, two Stanley Cup rings... yeah, why don't you shut the fuck up little boy?
why is this amazing? anybody who's played street hockey has done this millions of times. still, he's a great player. it's just that this was hardly a highlight reel.
@tweeko86 how many times in an NHL game do you see a player have that much space behind the opponent's goal? a lot of ppl could do the same move true, but he hardly comes to a stop and already has an opening scoped out by the time he gets behind the net. the only guy paying attention, was the guy that pushed him away as he came back around. if not for that, that puck may have ended up in the back of the net. this is just pav being pav and creating something from nothing. heads up play.
@razorslice17 you fucking retard. show me one player who has ever flipped the puck over the net. no better yet, to give you an advantage TELL me one player to do this. because you cant. we arent admiring him for his ability to flip it over the net. we admire him because of his creativity. you fucking dumbass.
who gives a fuck about the OH LOOK I CAN HANDLE THE PUCK BECAUSE I HAVE NO LIFE i play triple A hockey and i have 87 goals this season and i haven't juked a single person out
@MARINESON11 Triple A and the NHL are two totally different leagues dumbass. I scored 100 goals in NHL with my be a pro player... I guess I can go into the NHL now. No one says you have to juke people to score goals, Pavel just does it that way and look at the entertainment it provides. Everyone knows you had to click on the video because you probably wanted to learn a new move to teach your 'Triple A' buddies.
buddy says 87 goals cause his favourite player wears that number on his sweater.... if you do not have the talent to dangle you do not play AAA hockey you fucking plug go tape your ankles some more bender get fucked
@81mgm Did you really just say that to play in AAA you have to be able to dangle? i don't see lidstrom dangle? i don't see half the players in the nhl dangle anyone all game so stop being a troll and gtfo. dekes and dangles are always good but thats not how your going to get scouted. you need to play an all around game.
anyone that plays high caliber hockey, including AAA, has the ability to dangle you stupid fuck. you need to have superior puck handling skills to maintain puck possession. fucking george parros could dangle if he really wanted to.
@CseRoQ ye most likely. Look at the time and space pavel had. If a 15 year old had that much space and could play hockey he can do that no problem. Flip the puck big deal.
not just saying this because im a red wings fan, this guy is freakin amazing ith the puck, he can control it unlike anything ive seen in such a long time

A high stick is when your stick is above the crossbar or above the shoulders. The ducks player didn't even have his stick above the cross bar when he hit it.

This is why I love the Detroit Red Wings, they have amazing player and puck movement. Watch it again, look how they're all constantly moving, getting into open spaces, making options available. I love these guys.

why is this amazing? anybody who's played street hockey has done this millions of times. still, he's a great player. it's just that this was hardly a highlight reel.
tweeko86 8 months ago
@tweeko86
well, for starters youre comparing YOU playing STREET HOCKEY to a professional hockey player doing this in a playoff match.
id say theres a tad bit of a difference
rantanen1 8 months ago 35
@rantanen1 not really. if given the chance, anybody could have done this from behind the net. he didn't even score.
tweeko86 8 months ago
@tweeko86 how many times in an NHL game do you see a player have that much space behind the opponent's goal? a lot of ppl could do the same move true, but he hardly comes to a stop and already has an opening scoped out by the time he gets behind the net. the only guy paying attention, was the guy that pushed him away as he came back around. if not for that, that puck may have ended up in the back of the net. this is just pav being pav and creating something from nothing. heads up play.

@razorslice17 you fucking retard. show me one player who has ever flipped the puck over the net. no better yet, to give you an advantage TELL me one player to do this. because you cant. we arent admiring him for his ability to flip it over the net. we admire him because of his creativity. you fucking dumbass.

MARINESON11 1 year ago
@MARINESON11 Triple A and the NHL are two totally different leagues dumbass. I scored 100 goals in NHL with my be a pro player... I guess I can go into the NHL now. No one says you have to juke people to score goals, Pavel just does it that way and look at the entertainment it provides. Everyone knows you had to click on the video because you probably wanted to learn a new move to teach your 'Triple A' buddies.

@81mgm Did you really just say that to play in AAA you have to be able to dangle? i don't see lidstrom dangle? i don't see half the players in the nhl dangle anyone all game so stop being a troll and gtfo. dekes and dangles are always good but thats not how your going to get scouted. you need to play an all around game.

@Th3R34LR47
anyone that plays high caliber hockey, including AAA, has the ability to dangle you stupid fuck. you need to have superior puck handling skills to maintain puck possession. fucking george parros could dangle if he really wanted to.

@CseRoQ ye most likely. Look at the time and space pavel had. If a 15 year old had that much space and could play hockey he can do that no problem. Flip the puck big deal.
