Datsyuk was the most talented player to ever lace up the skates. Others may have had more numbers, but Datsyuk's two way skills were second to none. There was never a more well-rounded hockey player than Pavel Datsyuk. Not even Mr. Hockey himself. Sorry, old folks. Pavel Datsyuk had no weakness in his game. *edited to fix typos

It sounded good until you did the snarky apology.
@CertifiedClapaholic4 ай бұрын
@JambalayaJimmy haha, it wasn't meant to be anything other than a playful attempt at apologizing for any perceived disrespect towards one the greatest to ever play the game. I respect the opinions of my elders, but I disagree with the ones that would rank Mr. Hockey over The Magic Man. Don't take it too personally ✌️😎

I can't tell you how many times I watched him play and him not even need to score to say "did you see what he just did" The first guy I'd pay to watch play again. Truly was the magic man

I love Sergei but damn I have never seen anything like Pavel.
@Kwright30420 күн бұрын
Sergei had that top end speed and high IQ that Pavel had but he had more of a “my puck” mentality that leads to more goals. Pavel was better defensively and could do more with less around him. Sergei made Shanahan better, but Datsyuk made Abdelkader better and one of those things is harder to do……

Pav is the most talented player to ever lace em’ up. Sure McDavid, Bossy and Gretzky put up massive numbers but the way Pavel played the game was just different.

The only reason Datsyuk never racked a 100 points season is because he played for the Wings. That system created solid 2way players. 19-91-13-40.

Imagine if you could have a player with Federov's and Datsyuk's best attributes. Don't get me wrong both were great within their own perspective games, but combine the two? I can hear Mickey now..."Katie bar the door."

Fedorov for sure. The man was a league MVP and a money player in the playoffs. I’m a Datsyuk fan but he wasn’t on Fedorov’s level.

@@CharetteOfficialI mean, it's not like Fedorov wasn't also a defensively sound forward. He won the Selke... twice was it? Once in 1994 when he also won the Hart and Lester B Pearson. He was also trusted by Scotty Bowman to play actual defenseman when needed. I love both of these players and it's hard to pick my favorite bit let's not act like Datsyuk was the only one of the two who was an amazing two way player... both excelled.

Fedorov was a better skater than Datyuk but not by much. Datsyuk was a better stick handler then Fedorov but not by much. You could say the same thing for shooting or hands. The thing that puts Fedorov ahead for me was the fact he could have won Norris trophies as a defensemen.
