That’s not hockey IQ that’s just Datsyuk breaking ankles

Being a Red Wings fan, I always enjoyed getting to games early to see Pavel work on his stick work during warmups before games. The Magic Man obviously perfected his craft.

Feel fortunate to have seen so many of his games over the years. I miss him.

More hands than IQ, but he had both.

Man the Datsyuk/Weber showdowns we used to get in Nashville. Also Weber/Zetterburg. I want that rivalry back

That’s why they call him the magic man. Ask Siri who the magic man is.

As a Blackhawk fan I hated Detroit – as a hockey fan I loved Datsyuk.

Love the Magic Man

Most underrated player of all time. Rarely mentioned in the conversation of all time greats. Can’t think of a better all-around player. Could do it all. Most entertaining by far.

One of the best players to ever watch

Datsyuk might have high hockey IQ but those hands… that he is known for.

I love a good highlight reel that isn’t just goals.
So many jaw-dropping plays that just end in a good chance or even just a slick breakout pass or something.

I swear every Daysyuk highlight reel is 70% him destroying the Preds lol

So clever, deceptive, and shifty on the ice.

I don’t think we will ever see another player like him in the league. Just one of a kind.

What made him so special was his deception and unpredictability. He could make defenders commit to defending one move and be 20 feet in the other direction before the defender realized it. Just ask Tomas Vokoun lol

Top ten player of all time. Idc

Thats just dats showing they truly had one puck to practice with when he was a kid like he said. If you wanted the puck on your stick you had to learn to keep it.

What’s always wowed me about Datsyuk is how he doesn’t even need to be that fast of a stick handler to make everyone look stupid. You watch current stick handlers that stick handle so fast you can barely see the puck and somehow Datsyuk was just as deceiving with like half the stick handling speed. It’s incredible to watch his pure accuracy with the puck.

I want him baaaaaack😭

the way he handles the puck is so satisfying to watch

That first highlight is like Shakespeare, and I’m the monkey on a typewriter. It would take a million of me a million years to pull a move like that.

Good damn his so beautiful on the ice… he will always be my favorite player… magic man is the ultimate nickname for this dude… straight magic every time he touches the puck

Looks like Brazal honestly, no bias

His backhand in G7 against us was a thing of beauty. Even though I hated it
