I don't think we'll ever forget you, Pavel.

He could step in now and still dominate, what an absolute legend

I never thought I would see a media availability of pavel datsyuk ever again....

Oh, I've missed his pressers. "Have you seen Hank?" "Who!?"😂

As a Blues fan, he is my all time favorite player. He might be a Blues killer. But there is no player in my mind, not even McDavid, matches his skills. He is the most skilled player I have ever seen in my life and I have been so fortunate to watch him and his highlights. Will never get tired of watching his highlights.

"development camp is priority, and see friend. I have many friend" lmao I love him so much

Nobody will ever forget the magic man absolute legend his number should be in the rafters

Its great to see Pav again. Retire 13

Kids literally will just never understand the greatness. Had to see it. Best two way player ever

I'm fortunate enough to have been around during the Datsyuk era. Thank you Pavel for all those years of spectacular hockey.

"Was it nice to see Niklas Kronwall again?" "WHOO!??" Fucking. Legend.

Nothing but positives with having him around. His knowledge will help anyone who listens to him!

One of those very rare talents that "Literally" had you on the edge of your seat every time he stepped on the ice! Guys like that come around maybe once in a generation if your lucky. Congrats on the HOF induction, no one in HockeyTown is surprised by this huge honor!

We have to keep him in the organization in any capacity! He could definitely thrive as a coach/mentor

"Have you seen Henrick? "WWWHHHHOOOO???" It's tough with the language barrier, but every once in while you get a sense of his sense of humor and its great.

I remember watching him as a rookie on that stacked 2001-02 team. I thought, wow, there is truly something special about this young man. Congratulations, "Magic Man" on your Hall Of Fame induction, and thank you for helping to bring two Stanley Cups to Hockeytown.

this makes me too happy, lindstrom, yzerman, datsyuk and Kronwall all in the same building gives me chills

Audio guy earned his paycheck for this one.

Fuckin miss this guy

Get him back here in any capacity! Detroit loves you, Pavel!!

Thank you, Pavel. You made my childhood awesome, and I am so proud and thankful of the loyalty, talent, and years you gave us.

The Magic Man, forever a legend and glad to see him back in the city!

There will never be another one of these gems in the game folks . Ill count myself lucky i got to see his while nhl career firsthand start to finish .

DATSYUK IS BACK BABY!!

Thank you Pavel, we in Detroit will never forget.

One of the most talented Red Wings ever.

So great to see that legend back in Detroit even if it is for a short time. I wish he was immortal in that he could play forever. I am so privileged to have seen him play live.

THE MAGIC MAN 🐐

Congratulations Pavel on the hall of fame.

Datsyuk!!!!!!! Detroit LOVES you!

Pavel Datsyuk is to hockey as Barry Sanders is to football.......... Unbelievable, enjoyed watching them both

Pavel had the greatest puck-handling skills. He was amazing to watch.

This guy was such a big part of my childhood watching my Wings. Got a chance to see him live near the end of his time with us. Still got the picture!

Good to see him in Detroit again.

Have you talked to Henrik since? "Who?" 🤣 😂😅 Datsuk is still funny af...

Biggest beauty ever. Trust me when I say nobody will ever forget you and you’re still one of the greatest of all time. Cheers Pavel

ABSOLUTE FUCKING LEGEND FOREVER!

I forgot how much I love his interviews. He always was so self-aware of his broken English, lol

"The Legend" returns

I'd still let him play. Haha. Miss him so much. Hockey died a little for me when he left.

Class act as always.

#13 and #40 need to go up in the rafters game 1 at LCA asap

#13 To The Rafters! 🏒🥅🐙👍

Fucking love you Pasha. Thank you for all the joy you have brought to my life simply by playing a game with such high skill, for being a Red Wing, and for coming back to help the next generation of Wings! GO WINGS GO!

Who doesn't love this guy right here!!!

Some of the stuff you pulled off Theyre still trying to do it You are my greatest of all time Stretching in warm up Back hand in stride far side top corner Reach back stick flat snag the pack like a cane On and on and on Unbelievable Red Wing royalty Hockey royalty Thanks for everything you do Pavel really I hope you enjoy the retired life You rocked it Hall of Fame Made us so proud to be Red Wing fans Thank you for everything The highlights will live on

No one will ever forget you Pavel. Bro was & probably still is a magician with the puck. ❤️🤍❤️🤍

My hero

The talent, the domination, the humbleness, everything about him is just truly amazing and incredible. Congratulations on the HHOF induction Pavel!

Most exciting player to watch in hockey!

What id do to see Pav play again 😢

So happy to see you back with the Wings, Pavel!! Grew up (born 94) watching you play and it makes me happy to see you back. Detroit missed you!

Have so many fond memories. One time we played th Preds. He went right through the defense 5 players down the ice. No one could stop him!

Style and grace

His English has faded after eight years back in Russia. But so good to see him. They need to get 13 in the rafters. Not sure why they haven't already.

Always loved him

Forget him? I'm not even a wings fan and I watch his highlights all the time!

LMFAO still the king of interviews

Could see him getting more involved in player development and scouting in Europe for the wings We might draft more Russians when we have Pavel there

so good to see this guy!! still funny and crackin jokes love it.

Still making magic in the hockey world...

So nice see that winged wheels on the Magic Man one more time.

Magic man.. may go down as the best puck handler to ever play.

lol Pavel still has his humor i see.. good to see him..

LIVING BREATHING GOAT

So glad he is going into the hall Of Fame. I hope Igor goes in too

Love that guy

Miss these interviews HOF! well deserved

Favorite Red Wing off all time.

A friend of mine (a blues fan) once described Pavel as the best hockey player while no one was watching.....Hockeytown was watching and we love you.

Love you Pavel! Also yay we got some decent mics for the reporters.

Absolutely love this guy. Most entertaining hockey player I've ever seen.

He's so genuine. We could never forget you pavel. You are a legend and played the game so incredibly

Magician!!!!!

His english has gotten significantly better. I can actually understand his interviews now lol

Retire 13

It's great to see Datsyuk

legend

This is absolutely incredible. I'm still speechless. My favourite player of all time back with the club, even if only for dev camp.

I'm not crying you're crying.

He is the best there is, the best there was...The best that there ever will be. Thank you Pavel for all the great hockey highlights over your career.

yall couldnt get this man a better mic?

He looks like he could play right now. One of the greatest to do it

Bro HIRE HIM!! Salaried position, he deserves it and he is invaluable and just his greatness alone would rub off on the players.

Thank goodness the mics were sorted for this.
