Growing up in Boston, of course, I'm a Bruins fan, but Pavel D, along with Alex Kovolev, are hands down the most skilled hockey 🏒 players I've ever seen

I am very grateful to Pavel for turning hockey into an art, and this is given to very few

[collinharvey]

My favorite player growing up in Michigan

[Trevor-gmph]

He’s called the “Magic Man” for a good reason!

[kalebtrice]

Datsyuk is one of if not the most underrated player in the nhl ever

[kevinbrown]

Detroit is still suffering from his early departure from the NHL !!!

That dude could stick handle inside a phone booth. He really was good.

One of my favorite players of all time. Even when he schooled my blackhawks, I had nothing but respect. He wasn’t dirty or cheap, you just had to tip your hat and acknowledge greatness. Watching him and Hossa battle it out on the wing was always top notch hockey.

Wow I haven't heard his name in years....and YESSSS he was absolutely amazing, his puck finesse was unparalleled.

I'd say the current skill level in the NHL came from kids watching Dats as they grew up and practiced handles and foot movements that he showed us for the first time.

His hands and edgework were so ahead of his time

[beerdo]

[dvon]

[GodFaThEr]

I loved watching Pavel Datsyuk play on the red wings and watching him make seasoned players look like a bunch of 13 year olds who just tried out hockey for the first time

There have been many great players, but only a few were BEAUTIFUL players. Pavel was a beautiful hockey player. He brought beauty to the game.

Players didn’t try the stuff they do now because in this era you were allowed to throw big hits. Datsyuk was so good he could pull it off with guys trying to send him to the shadow realm.

My favorite player, tied with the sedin twins 🔥🔥

[christopherhall]

Miss watching him he was a man among boys

Bruins fan here and I love Datsyuk! Easily a top 5 favorite player for me, I’d pick the red wings over the bruins when I played NHL 12, I loved playing with Zetterberg and Datsyuk. I miss watching him play.
