That’s why the Big “Z” took him over 87 in the all star game ….. just ask Kevin Kline if he ever found his ankles ! Hey Ciri who is the “ MagicMan …. Forgotten yet!
I disagree with something you said. There were plenty of extremely talented players during that era. The only difference is they weren’t complete pu$$ies like The majority of the NHL are now.
McDavid,Ovechkin,Gretzky etc…didn't have the puck handling skills or creativity that Pavel Datsyuk had….highlight reels of each player mentioned proves it.

I’m a leaf fan through and through but he was probably my favourite player to watch back in the day. Man he was so good!!
jack hughes is starting to try stuff like this
So grateful I got to watch him for his whole career in the D
Hated him and Detroit is the 90’s sooo
Much but I’ve grown to appreciate TALENT that he brought to the game.

Always hated the Red Wings but I had to respect his talent and play style. Always entertaining to watch him play
Best stick handler to ever play hockey

Wow… Lemieux's creativity and stick skills has always been overlooked… where do you think these guyz thought of these things… Lemieux was the real OG
Poor logan couture 😂
Pavel was far better than Syd the Lady Bynger King!!
He could stick handle in the shower and the puck wouldn't get wet.
Might wanna watch a highlight reel or two of Pavel Bure's
Prob the best player to ever play … dude was sick
Deke has been replaced by Datsyuk in the dictionary
Datsyuk was a beast, just insane skill. Respect
They named a move after his excellence, "Datsyuk Flip"
Russians = Edge work and handles from the getgo
he was so skilled that for YEARS growing up playing street hockey if one of us scored on a slick move it was called a "datsyukian deke"
Suzuki (Montreal) did datsyuk penalty shot
He revolutionized hockey with his style and creativity.
Totally agree.. the most creative player I've ever watched.. without a doubt one of the most skilled players of all time
The sickest
Bobby orr
Crosbys better
