OT: Pasha the Magic Man

[GordonHowe]

Grew up in the Detroit area with season's tickets to Wings games at the old Olympia. My brother still lives there, and is a huge Datsyuk fan. He sent the link below along.

I'm sure everyone has seen clips, and the picture quality isn't great, but a bit of sizzle on an early August day to remind of one the game's greats.

Enjoy,

Oh man, he's as smooth as But-Tah!

 

[CrownofThornton]

His skillset is unparalleled!

Probably the best highlight video I have seen on him yet! What a wizard!

One of the best I've ever seen with the puck. And from a guy who's not only amazing with the puck, but just as good going the other way. Just an absolute force out on the ice.

What a treat to watch. One of the few perfect hockey players and best example ever of a late round steal. Unbelievable.

Chara said it best when he was picking for the all star game, said he was one of the best ever and played the game the right way.

 

[C77]

Will and should be remembered as one of the all-time greats.

Thanks for the video.

Glad you all enjoyed the montage. The guy can "stick handle in a phone booth" & strip pucks major major.

Coming to the end of the road now at 37 & slowed by injury, but a great, great talent.

PS thanks for reminding per Z's highly complimentary statements - essentially, that Pavel is the player he respects most in the game.
