Top 10 Most Skilled Hockey Players Of All-Time [Part 1/2]

[steriods4champions]

if you guys think datsyuk is better than lemieux you're all on fucking crack. he would be top 5 but never better than mario. must be all wings fans

[elementbam86]

datsyuk is #1 by far... the original dangle master

[Pat6996]

LOL datsyuk behind jagr? thats fucking ridiculous

[bootsaregood]

What a beautiful play at 7:16 that wasn't even a goal. Wow.

[pdolan132]

I know

[turtlehater2]

Datsyuk #1 by a long shot.

[erreyzistable]

I know you all are hating on Datsyuk but i think the reason he is #10 is because he may arguably have the best set of hands in the league

[SuperColossal33]

@Viperstrike28 or...you're just young and have no appreciation for the NHL's rich 100+ year history.

[Viperstrike28]

@SuperColossal33 ummm obviously ur old and give way too much credit to the old days, when now its wayyyyy harder to be the best cause everyone knows how to do everything

[SuperColossal33]

@Viperstrike28 No, I'm 24, I just know that it's stupid to focus on only the hockey players I have seen play in my brief existence compared to a game that's been around for over 100 years.

If you think Datsyuk belongs ahead of any of the other 9, then you are foolish.

[VonCurry8]

@SuperColossal33 I agree with ya Colossal these kids think that...their generations they grow up watching is great...these guys in todays NHL is alot like the NFL in that the defense is handicapped by so many rules...players like Bure, Jagr, Lemieux, Selanne etc etc scored goals and made amazing plays against a defense that could clutch and grab, hold you up, play you off the puck..not to take away from the talent of todays guys...but the 90s generation was the best players..

[roobbiinn]

Datsyuk over Forsberg...? right....

[EtienneLA09]

Guy Lafleur? lol



[MrJohnnycanuck10]

Wow Bobby Orr is #2. That is amazing a defencemen

[killakadafi77]

@TpCbo Get off his dick

[Thatsfrompowersbitch]

hmmm.. what about PETER FORSEBERG, JOE SAKIC, MARIO LEMIEUX, MARK MESSIER, WAYNE GRETZKY, NICKLAS LIDSTROM, RAY BORQUE, BRETT HULL. MIKE MODANO...

[kritik6]

@Thatsfrompowersbitch You might consider watching the rest of the countdown.

[virgozero]

@Thatsfrompowersbitch .... there's a part 2....

*Ice hockey

[DNNU29]

@Boobaadoowuupskii *real hockey

[wncnightmare]

@88Freefall Completely agree. He could have been one of the greatest ever but he didn't work for it.

[EatinMahTurtles]

rocket richard and jean beliveau o.o

[TurismoCoyote]

@TpCbo too true. I was completely disappointed with all of the following clips since his eclipsed all of the others

[AVstorm13]

7:19 misses the net

[66ott7]

@Viperstrike28 Fedorov. Where is he please?

[66ott7]

FEDOROV!

[4EverCanela]

where is ryan kesler?

[88Freefall]

No one in the NHL has ever had such hands like Kovalev... not even Datsyuk.. I'm not saying he's better player... just that he's hands were once out of this world..

[omgitsaidsyay]

KOVALEV?????????????????? UNDERACHIEVING DRAMA QUEEN! Could have been one of the best players of all time.

[gribbleparts]

Born with skill? Born with talent.. you can't be born with skill.. skill is a 'learned capacity'.. host is an air-head

[danglesnipecelly13]

Datsyuk has the best hand the NHL has ever seen. His skill is the shit. He should be top 5

[behop32]

bullshit, pavel is not even the best pavel

[2girls1freak]

kovalev 5? no just no

[m1ck3n]

How come that not one single ****** can spell PETER FORSBERG right!? And i don´t agree with this list...

[pgman1804]

datsyuk only number 10? what is this

[leo1fun]

Datsyuk is top 3 skill, at least a top 5. This guy is just probably one of the best puckhandlers to ever play hockey.

[ErdeSterbeEIC]

Where is Perter Forsberg?

[ZappaSheik]

Well they only chosse the NHL players not the USSR BRM

[GrandMasterKolbasa]

This list is bullshit. Harold Snepts deserves to be Top Ten. He was fucking electric when he scored 50 goals playing with a broken leg.

[mw2addictish]

i didnt like thsi video because Pavel Datsuk wasnt in the top 3

[Mrhockeyrules20]

Pavel Bure and Jagr should be higher than 8 and 7

[ColonExplosion]

Dutch is fucking jacked!



[gleekout06]

We all no it's Gretzky an d the best cb is revis....

[VestingSkrye]

If you didn't guess who was number one, your weird...

[kikozup]

where the fuck is peter forseberg!!!

[VestingSkrye]

@kikozup Not here.

[Dr3amTh3ater]

hahahhaha datsuk as number 10 heeeheeeheeee ... maybe his rookie year....now....best in the world

[tjcurrie]

Guys that I've personally watched-

Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Pavel Bure, Pavel Datsyuk, Mike Modano, Denis Savard, Alexei Kovalev, Peter Forsberg, Sergei Fedorov, Steve Yzerman. - Daniel and Henrik Sedin are up there too.

Kent Nilsson played when I was barely even born and while I was just a kid, and Gilbert Perreault retired when I was pretty young so I'm not gonna comment on them. Bobby Orr too.

[l25376]

lemieux was like datsuk with his stick its just that mario could get aroud present day chara

[TheMudkipz123]

where is peter forseberg

[kingbigb2]

@TheMudkipz123 theres only enough room for 10 people

[martin58587]

jarda jááágr

[Northover22x]

i named my 2 dogs after #9 and #8 Jagr and Bure :)

[ProductofAMurder]

@Ultradonna I hate the Wings, but yes he does.

[BasketBallGuys]

So much quebecers <3

[dwoodward1]

@Ultradonna Yeah, the most skilled player in the game today certainly isn't 10th all time.

[zombieruss]

Datsyuk is mental, number 1 by a long way in my opinion.

[Wiz420Khalifaa1]

Pierre McGuire looks like a walking, talking Penis. lmfao.

[FusionCoreConfusion]

pierre mcguire looks like a talking lightbulb

[DBoyKing313]

For all you retards that didn't read the title of the video it's the most skilled players of all time not stat leaders of all time. Pavel Datsyuk does deserve to be at least 5th on this list.

[danynumero6]

@TpCbo Look Datsyuk is great but no way in hell is he #1

[phillytheflyerable]

KENT NILSSON <3

[mylifeispokemon93]

i stopped watching at 9

[amirjon]

loool datsyuk at 10? i sometimes miss a lot of action during wings games cuz all I'm doing is watching pavel and how he handles the puck. id say prob #1 or 2, after that id go for 87 and pkane

[ironeaglehead]

jagr the best!!!

[xEightEleven811]

I've seen Kovalev play in person a couple times and his puck handling skills are the best I've ever seen...

[hockeylax114]

i dont understand how datsyuk is only 10, he is the definition of skill

[AndyVintheD]

@hockeylax114 Datsyuk should be number one...

[danynumero6]

@AndyVintheD no he shouldnt

[goodalwaysworks]

I thought IT'S JUST AWESOME.

[aleksandrpondios]

As myself russian i can say:Valery Harlamov and Sergey Makarov are the most skilled and talented russian players.Malkin is very good,may be the best player in the League right now.But as coach i would like to have Datsyk and Sergey Fedorov in my team.

[JFSMotherland]

LINDROS!!!!

[DmxBloodline]

I'm a die heard bruins fan, Bruins are my home team and don't want NE1 2think I'm a Detroit "homer", but I almost shit my pants when the video started off by ranking Datsyuk as #10, LOL! He's probably #1.

[callsikhurity25]

@DmxBloodline datsyuk is a very good player however you are mentally unstable if you don't think Wayne Gretzky isn't the best player the NHL has ever seen...he is ranked above greats such as gordy howe and mark messier....hell, the hockey hall of fame even broke all induction rules to get him!!!!

[adamrs858]

@callsikhurity25 Gretzky unquestionably the greatest offensive player of all time, unfortunately there is this crazy thing called defense, and doing the little things to help your team win the cup. Gretzky has 4 cups but after being traded away from Messier, Hall, Fuhr, Anderson etc. he never saw another final. His '93 Kings did make it to the final, without him. Ever see Yzerman's snipe in 2OT game 7 against St.Louis? He stripped the puck from a lazy 99.FYI 10 guys have bypassed HOF wait period

[hailsquig]

datsyuk is FOR sure the most skilled in th WORLD ! period

[Christian91201]

Ilya Kovalchuk most skillfull player ever in his prime..THE END!!

[BostonDudeGuy]

AK-27

[wiipartymaster2]

Isnt Gretzy n:1

[android059]

@wiipartymaster2 #1 scorer, not most skilled

[wiipartymaster2]

@android059 Ah.Now I remember.But he was skilled to right?

[android059]

@wiipartymaster2 watch part 2 and see

[danmu2000]

Thumbs up if u think Hockey is the best sport



[metyzermanfan19]

@danmu2000 Thumb troll.

[FishYR0cKz]

Lol 7:19 he failed, he missed the net! Lol

[kidkappa04]

@DoctorShrooms12 your father's gay

[EVLA8]

FAIL at 7:21

[BostonSecret45]

@jimhowardchick35 all time... hes not even close

[sCoRp0090]

AK27 RULEZZZ!!!



[cbruckel]

Why is Brett Hull such a bonehead?

[Sm0otH521]

Go to 7:15 and watch the puck.

[Robin19901982]

This list needs to be re-created.



[dsjoakim35]

Kent Nilsson, the inventor of the Forsberg penalty shot move in the olympics. A beast and a legend.

[good2goskee]

I was at the game and saw Bure's goal (afternoon game vs. B's) at 4:11 ...... Where were u Bure? Could have used you last June.

[omykron23]

How is Kovalev ahead of Datsyuk and Jagr? :/

[WakiiiS]

@omykron23 That might be the stupidest question I've ever read..Btw Jagr shouldn't even be on the list in the first place.

[kkonstantinovich1]

ДАЦЮК

[cragmac1000]

Where's John Buccigross, Jack Edwards, Keith Olbermann or Craig Kilborn? Oh the ESPN glory days. Now ESPN just a bunch of no talent whores.

[alecathesensfan]

Datsuyk can deke out all the players from ten to five without skates and a stick.

[alecathesensfan]

Why is Lemieux numer 1? Gretzky an orr and jäger are better then him. Datsuyk to.

[jacusiw1]

@alecathesensfan wrong. Lemieux is a pure magician. You obviously didnt see him play much. Semin is more skilled then the guys you named

[alecathesensfan]

@jacusiw1

Mario Lemiux isn not nearly as good actually. Semin isn't even near the talent of the guys I mentioned and neither is Lemioux. Well actually Lemioux does come close.

[tomster6758]

@alecathesensfan you obviously know nothing about hockey. everyone here is now dumber for having read your post you are awarded no points and may god have mercy on your soul

[alecathesensfan]

@tomster6758

I know more about Hockey then you dude so don't talk. Btw, what's up with the religious comment at the end? I know alot about Hockey.

[tomster6758]

@alecathesensfan you havent shown that u know a thing about hockey

[metyzermanfan19]

@alecathesensfan If you knew a lot about hockey you wouldn't be a sens fan. Zing! lol

[squints0080]

@tomster6758 Oh snap, the billy madison quote! awesome.

[maxman261]

7:20 did he just miss the open net?

[karrar55]

datsyuk #10??????????whatt!!! easilyyyyyy top 3 easillllyy!! he will rock any of these players!!!

[mochopz]

Datsyuk? ALL TIME>!?!!?!?!? dude. no. crosby doesnt even make that list.

[pnpny04]

No Alexander Mogilny? BS! 

[8kcht3]

@pnpny04 Hahaha what? What planet are you on man? Mogilny was good, but not better than anybody on this list.

[pnpny04]

@8kcht3 I'm on the same planet that Kovalev played >1,300 games and still has yet to catch up to Mogilny in goals and points.Mogilny didn't even play 1,000 games in the NHL. How many more games does your boy Kovalev need to catch up?Kovalev has played 300+ more games than Mogilny; and I'd hope Kovalev could rack up some pts playing with Lemieux and a Jaromir Jagr in his prime.In no way was Kovalev a more prolific/dangerous offensive weapon than Mogilny.To this day AK barely has more assists!

[8kcht3]

@pnpny04 Lol when did I say I liked Kovalev? Ahh wutever at least were not being assholes to eachother like usual youtube arguments lol

[WatchVictor]

@pnpny04 Mogilny+Fedorov+Bure=Best line ever!

[justmedawg]

All these guys are freaking amateurs... Lord Karnage from the Moosejaw Sorcerers is easily number 1

[TheBlackhawksown]

No one likes Pierre

[Christian91201]

For me Kovalchuk in his prime was the most skilfull..His puck handeling with his skating was like poetry in motion..Never seen so soft hands at that speed..Datsyuk is more creative and better hockey brain but his hands has never been as soft as Kovy's did..It's sad what's happening to him..He isn't even old!!

[Ahattrick4asprilla]

@Christian91201 "Never seen so soft hands at that speed" ... Please use the following keys on your board: P-A-V-E-L B-U-R-E.

[aleksandrpondios]

@Christian91201 Kovy?Hes doing well right now.Lets hope he will continue,only 28

[Christian91201]

@aleksandrpondios Yep the stickhandlind he had at that speed and his hands were unique and it takes a time before someone that skillfull comes again..Yes Datsyuk is skillfull but he does his moves at normal,low speed and his tricks are more about creativity..Pavel Bure for me closely resembeled Kovy but still lacked a bit in hands..Watch Kovy's Top Ten and come to me and say that someone has scored more skill required goals..

[maiden9494]

7:17  .. how did he miss that haha

[RedFireVideos]

FUCK OFF mcguire

[JRR812]

no Sergei Fedorov ummm okkkkkk, only guy that made shit look effortless, smoothest player ever

[Adamacaciastrainn]

62 people have zero skills

[monktryface]

PIERRE MCGUIRE AHAHAHHAHA FUCKING DOUCHE.

[canadianmaple09]

1:45 Hey, they dressed up a penis in a suit and glasses!

[nathanknaack]

Datsyuk is easily the most skilled player of all time. Some guys have more goals, but nobody has more skill in every aspect of the game. Check the stats on defensive plays, takeaways, assists, shootout goals, etc.

Let me put it this way: If you had to assemble your dream team, but they all had to be clones of one person, who would it be? The all-Datsyuk team would be the Harlem Globetrotters of the league. Every game would be a joke.

[imronburgundy69]

@nathanknaack exactly

[valdeznick38]

Pierre Mcguire=walking penis

[milsimX]

Kovalev's a joke...

[Minacious]

@milsimX I disagree. He was pretty crazy with the puck in his day.

[miasma69]

datsyuk is number one lol

[Jeemdify]

@miasma69 your number one.

[tatertots00]

When they re do this list in 10 years Erik Karlsson will be #2 after the great one

[holobalobalo]

lol @ 7:15

[RM2417able]

kovalev four interesting

[voland1]

bullshit Bure should be top 3 for shure! he was amazing

[ExhibitCo]

datsyuk is by far the best BS

[reviewman1029]

jaromir jagr should be in top 5 cuz hes amazingly better than datsyuk

[DustBucket33]

not a wings fan, but Datsyuk should be top 5, guy is unreal

[DrGnome90]

Pierre is the worst annoucner i have ever seen or heard. I truly can't stand him.

[Starkinator64]

he actully misses the goal at 7:20

[Clatsyuk]

7:17 epic miss

[Clatsyuk]

lol to the fags saying datsyuk shouldnt be top 10!casual fans at best!

[Apneistefou]

"Top 10 Most Skilled Hockey Players Of All-Time" in the USA.

[strunz618]

glad i didnt have to watch this video and wait to see where Datsyuk was at. Pierre is and will always a fucking idiot. Go suck Crosbys dick! Datsyuk should be number 1. Even if he played back then, he would be called the great one.

[NeonTrilogy707]

Though i do agree that Datsyuk deserves to be up a little higher in the top 10, just to be recognized as one of 10 ALL TIME skilled players that in itself is enough I think :) Pasha!

[fomenkop]

Why is everyone complaining? I think that Sportscenter did a great job only wasting 30 seconds of my time. As soon as they announced Datsyuk at #10, I knew that it's time to watch the sneezing panda, the numa numa kid, and chocolate rain. In other words, watch much more productive and informative videos.

[deviltom25]

lmao, who cares about what pierre has to say?

[carvalhol96]

Bure should of been in the top 5

[DarrelGOP]

Pierre Mcguire #1 in top ten douche analysts

[A1RBORNxA55AS1N]

@DarrelGOP pierre mcquire #1 virgin

[DarrelGOP]

@A1RBORNxA55AS1N LMAO!

[gaser135]

Datsyuk #4 Kovalev#10

[oakster15]

Datsyuk is behind Kovalev. Alright...

[wingsfan977]

this is one of those rare top 10 lists that starts with number one... only, they added a zero for some reason.

[youngmula256]

to the top comments. datsyuk is a great hockey player but youv'e got to remember all the players before him

[wingsfan977]

@youngmula256 yes you do have to remember them, but that doesn't mean they're more skilled than he is. in all honesty, Kovalev and Datsyuk really deserve to be 1 and 2. there hasn't been anyone that can do the things those two can do, at full speed, in the middle of a game.

[Mzleah2010]

@wingsfan977 SOOOOOO TRUUE!

[JJJMMM1]

@youngmula256

I agree. I was a bit surprised to see Jagr as low as #9, but as new names popped up, I went "oh, yeah". I didn't agree on the order always, but the list is of course a matter of opinion and all of the picks so far have been valid.

[gam3rman85]

as soon as i saw MattsPolitics1's comments, i wrote this comment, and now im not even gonna bother watching this video.
