He really should be in the HOF, no one ever played the game like he did and it doesnt look like anyone ever will either.

MADE ME JUMP UP, LETS GO!
Not the news I was refreshing for, but the news I needed to see.
My favorite player of all time by a long shot. I fucking love you Magic Man!

A lot of young pups around here never got to see him play. Lemme tell you, there will never ever be another Datsyuk. Truly a once in a millennium player.
SimplySolace
Fuck yeah! Congrats Pavel! One of, if not my favorite player of all time

The only good news from the day.

So glad he got in on 1st ballot and wasn’t forced to wait because of “the Russian factor.”

Absolutely deserved on sporting merits.
May there one day be a free and unoccupied Ukraine… and a free Russia, too.

Deserved. The most talented and complete player I’ve ever seen play the game.

Hell yeah! Now I’m crossing my fingers that we’ll get to see him in the HoF Legends game.

Well deserved. Not just because of how flashy and offensively talented he was, but because I dont think there has even been so complete a player as he was. I cant think of too many guys as valuable at both ends of the ice as Pavel Datsyuk was.

Well deserved, congrats Pavel.
