Great goal and even greater assist by Pavel Datsyuk in his rookie season against St. Louis

[GVwingsfan19]

OMG what a lineup on the PP. Yzerman, Lidstrom, Larionov, Hull and Datsyuk! WOW

[Meteorization1]

His Name Shud be Pavel Datslick



[triplexxxsatyr]

Darren Pang said, "This league is gonna hear a lot about this young man (Datsyuk)."

Hard to believe that he was ALMOST drafted by STL.

[gnicredwings13]

@triplexxxsatyr not true, Datsyuk was almost scouted by STL in Russia, but the plane going there was cancelled, so the only NHL scout that saw him play was Hakan Andersson (Detroit's head european scout), who actually noticed him while scouting another player in Russia. The Blues werent going to draft a player they had never seen before.

Playing on a line with Pavel Datsyuk was the high point of Boyd Devereaux's life.

[mikemyerz666]

[rainick]

[stlchevy95]

Hah louisville sticks

[bishoppx]

Out on the first PP line with HoFers Yzerman, Hull and Larionov his rookie season.

[BiggySn1p3r]

Has anybody seen the datsyuk video where he dekes between two guys and then jumps around the last, but misses and hull comes up behind him. 2002 i think against the Coyotes.

[rubarb1000]

thats not fair pavel :O

[jimih64]

They're so excited to see him do something he now does night in and night out.

Datsyuk is as close as you can get to a god among men.

[563756297]

It's weird hearing Datsyuk mentioned with the Calder trophy. It's been so long and we've seen so many things and these people had almost no idea all of what was to come

[FacebookMeOnMyspace]
