That 2002 team gains another HOFer. Clearly the best hockey team of all-time bar none.
when players wanted to come to Detroit in free agency and trades... lol :/

I fully understand as I bet you do as well. Sadly, I remember a few Wings fans being salty about it and it came across as a very ugly look if you ask me.He addressed missing the final year of his contract in the press conference. Saying his heart wasn’t in it anymore and he hopes the fans would understand. Or at least that’s how I interpreted it. I appreciated him saying that
Winning? Whining?Zetterberg was awesome for Red Wings, and they called them euro tweens, but please stop winning about Z . Datsyuk was something else , outside this world. When he was on the ice I didn't care about anyone else. Gretzky is a great one, Mcdavid is the best ever hockey player and Datsyuk was the most fun to watch
It was definitely one of the best games we played last season.I might go to a few Nashville games this year if they land those three tbh. Stadium is electric regardless, I was shocked the first Wings/Preds game I went to because the crowd was borderline playoff atmosphere.
He was the most exciting player to watch for 5-10 years in the whole NHL. Probably one of the most exciting all time.When my kids track down Dats highlights and ask me what it was like to watch him in his prime:

He was the most exciting player I have ever watched.One of the most exciting players I've ever seen play. Easiest first ballot hall of fame decision in a while.
My favourite play of all time against San Jose Sharks GM.m
Backhand goal vs sharks.
Imo, this is his best play ever. Impossible shot from impossible location.
Too bad that didn't turn the game or series around, but it was those unbelieve moments you'll never believe to see.
Imo, the best Datsyuk & Zetterberg goal was this versus the Avs at the 2008 playoffs. Happened on my birthday. Thanks.
Samuelsson --> Zetterberg --> Datsyuk --> Zetterberg --> Datsyuk --> Zetterberg --> Datsyuk --> Zetterberg (GOAL).

I think that was one of the most dominant playoff performances ever. Datsyuk was unbelievable that year. If they'd beaten San Jose, it would've been more widely talked about.Imo, this is his best play ever. Impossible shot from impossible location.

What's the saying? Often imitated, never duplicated? That was Datsyuk to a T.
Congrats to Pavel, this is well deserved, you inspired a generation of players that came after you to be more creative with the puck and think outside the box. Will probably always be my favorite Red Wing and favorite player. I look forward to Zetterberg joining you soon.
Hasek has a political message regarding Datsyuk's induction.

Dominik Hasek Disapproves of Datsyuk's Hall of Fame Selection
Dominik Hasek is critical of the recent Hall of Fame induction of former teammate Pavel Datsyuk.detroitsportsnation.com
Do you refer to that "zero angle" Van Basten goal? If yes, this is indeed true. I was so young that time but still remember like it was yesterday.The backhand goal vs Sharks by Datsyuk and the goal by Van Basten vs Russia in EC in 1990 are probably the biggest achievement done by any athlete I have ever seen.
I assume you're replying to someone I have blocked, otherwise, this is a weird thing to randomly say in the middle of a Datsyuk thread.Screw off Hasek. No man is gonna persecute a regime long known for going after family members if they can't get the criticizer.

There are only few goals in football that really stand out. Much fewer as compared to Datsyuk highlight goals![]()
