  1. Какими бы крутым не были Макдэвид,Макиннон и прочие бистяры,но Дацюк навсегда останется самым любимым игроком❤

  2. The favorite hockey player of your favorite hockey player.

    Being a great hockey player is more than just numbers. Watching the magic man in his prime always reminded me of that because everything he did was so exciting and clean, and his playing style along with his humility inspire me to this day.

  3. in all of my years watching him play, i never watched him have a bad game…. maybe but once or twice but he ltierally was the price of admission himself.

  4. No one is admired by fellow players as much as Datsyuk is. The Magic Man has revolutionized the game, he has been an inspiration to fans and players alike.

  5. Always thought Pav was better than Crosby or Ovi during his prime. An elite offensive performer and even better defensively. He played before a lot of advanced metrics were fine tuned – but this is the MVP.
