After watching a few hours of video on Datsyuk and being a former player myself, I finally figured out how he tricks these goalies out of their shorts. There is something he does that gets the goalie to commit too soon. Goalies nowadays already commit too soon with their flop to the butterfly style but he does something that goalies rely on to anticipate a shot that puts them out of position more so he has more net to shoot at. Brilliant!
You gotta love the "ho hum, another day at the office" look on Pav's face on some of these goals. An amazing player, no question. Big ups to Datsyuk for winning the Selke and Lady Byng AGAIN tonight!!
Pavel started out as a good puck handler with average skating and defensive skill. He has truly blossomed into one of the best skaters in the show, his edge work on his breakaways is unbelievable! I play high level hockey and the skating element to his dekes are near impossible. His defensive game is also impeccable! He is one of the top 5 players in the show, EASILY!
I'm a huge fucking Penguins fan and I'm not afraid to admit watching this guy is an absolute treat. I really like that deke where he completely destroys the goaltender and just roofs it over their stick/glove as they slide on their belly.
i just saw him play at chicago on sunday, probably one of the best players in the league. he makes something out of every puck he touches, amazing player.
Even if i'm a ranger fan.. Just seeing Datsyuk own d-men and goalies night in and out is just a joy to the eye.. In my opinion the best dangler in the NHL, compared to anyone..
this video explains a lot for anyone who could have possibly not understood already on why the NHL players voted him the player they'd want to have in a shootout..
I said eating a stick of butter because I don't know how else to describe the indulgence of experiencing such smoothness and richness in its purest form.
Noone dekes, dangles, cuts, shoots, scores, or undresses a goalie quite like Datsyuk. Also, look at that sick pass between the legs from Zetterberg @ 1:42. There's actually a youtube video of THAT pass...it's incredible.
@seekout123 That's what I mean by the wrist flick. When you turn your wrists a bit it prepares your stick for a shot. He does that, the goalie drops down, goes one way, etc. then Pavel ruins his face.
the first play on this video was probably the new hottest shot, i tried that at practice alot, and i just gave up.... it has to be perfect because the goalie also knows it so you got to be hella good it takes your whole body pavel rules no doubt
The pass by Zetterberg was a beaut, and perfect. 1. Datsyuk... just gotta love his toe drag. 2. And his swerve to the side dekes. But then again, I'd like to see him go against Marty Broduer , 1 on 1.
crosby is crosby & datsyuk is datsyuk both are very good 2 way player, they also have great hands and good scoring skills. 2 best offensive players in NHL
@jimih64 While he may be doing those it is something else. He "opens up" his stick blade to the goalie which is a clue good goalies use to tell when player is going to do something with the puck. But in Dats case, he just uses this to make the goalie commits and he burns them afterwards.
Man, I love how after he scores such nice goals.. His celebrations are so.. Calm, like no gloating, what class.

Awesome video man I love how effortless he makes it look.

What I find most amazing about Datsyuk is that he uses the same move on all the goalies and he is still unstoppable!

watching a datsyuk highlight vid is like eating a stick of butter
The most legit pair of hands in hockey...
love the raconteurs, hometown band, nice touch
great job on this vid dude, really like the music too.
GO PAVEL!!!
i just saw him play at chicago on sunday, probably one of the best players in the league. he makes something out of every puck he touches, amazing player.
beautiful just beautiful
I can just see like Zetterburg saying "I'm OPEN!" and Datsyuk saying "Just a minute, I got this" and like dangles out the entire defense and scores xD
Pavel Datsyuk makes this look so easy!
scary thing is that this video is almost 4 years old. Imagine how many more moves could be put in this video!?
The dude only uses 2 shootout moves - but they are so PERFECT the goalies might as well just step aside and wave him in.
Long live the Dangler!
thanks for this awesome video
This video really should be called "Datsyuk is Awesome"
dude ur sooo rite!!he is my fav player
alright pavel, it's time to light the lamp in this years playoffs.
Pavel Datsyuk= A goalies worst nightmare
Great video man, Pavel's my favorite playah in the league, he is so exciting to watch Every Night.
love the goalies reactions..... look closely, they all shrug & seem to say: ah well, its Datsyuk, nothing i could do about it.... LOL awesome video
He makes it look so easy!
he sure loves that backhand forehand move. i think i saw it about 4 or 5 times.
Even if i'm a ranger fan.. Just seeing Datsyuk own d-men and goalies night in and out is just a joy to the eye.. In my opinion the best dangler in the NHL, compared to anyone..
Datsyuk is awsome. Hes like a dangler and a sniper!
This video is awesome! So glad I have this amazing player on my fantasy team! Go wings!! Go pasha! Also, the song is pretty badass.
Datsyuk is too good! He should be in the All-star game!!!!!!!!!!
man i love the first move he does it soo funny to watch the goalie get the socks decked out of him
I've been watching a coupld Datsyuk videos and I like this one the best.. nicejob =)
thats sick they set that up perfectly
datsyuk has got to be the best in the league when he's one on one with the goalie.
this video explains a lot for anyone who could have possibly not understood already on why the NHL players voted him the player they'd want to have in a shootout..
i remember when we first got datsyuk and how brett hull was bragging about what a superstar he was gonna be
I said eating a stick of butter because I don't know how else to describe the indulgence of experiencing such smoothness and richness in its purest form.
he makes it look to easy, great video
just another day at work, he's so patient and my dad say's he has more moves than michael jackson lol
I miss watching him.
He makes it look so easy...
Pavel Datsyuk, The official "Humiliator" of the NHL :P
Дацю́к
that pull and drag move is nasty! he tell the goalie he is doing that move before hand and still score!
Seriously, he just dangled me out of my underwear and I'm sitting down with jeans on.

Funny, I'm also a devils fan and Datsyuk and Ove are my favorite players currently playing :D

Noone dekes, dangles, cuts, shoots, scores, or undresses a goalie quite like Datsyuk.

HAHAHA half of this video is Datsyuk making Kipper look like a amatuer

Pavel Datsyuk has been my Fav player ever since he joined the league. That whole entire video explains why... and 2:52 to 2:57 is unreal
Datsyuk is the man!

0:57 god damn that was a killer hit.
Can't fuck with that. Best player in the world.
Good vid dude
The pass by Zetterberg was a beaut, and perfect.
1. Datsyuk... just gotta love his toe drag.
2. And his swerve to the side dekes.
But then again, I'd like to see him go against Marty Broduer , 1 on 1.
probably the luckiest draft pick in the history of the nhl
@edboysega321
The song is Joker & the Thief by Wolfmother
crosby is crosby & datsyuk is datsyuk both are very good 2 way player, they also have great hands and good scoring skills. 2 best offensive players in NHL
ryan getzlaf did that move as a righty

So many goalies in an awkward position. Very good goalies...
dangle sauce
lol datsyuk is unreal
I have a feeling it won't be.
@Mescat33 Because he can execute the same move in so many different ways.
