13dangledangle 968 Report post Posted May 28, 2010 I have been noticing this for a while now and seriously, Datsyuk is turning 32 this summer and still is getting better, and better, and....They made a comment during one of the playoff games about his training and how it is second to none, first on the ice and the last to leave kind of thing. Then after the game doesnt do a cool down he does a full blown workout, only one on the whole team that does that. I just think that by 32 a player usually has already been streamlining and maybe even on the decline a little. He as most of you will probably agree is going to have a stronger year this year then last, by far. So this begs the question, do you think Datsyuk is Superhuman?

Carman 387 Report post Posted May 28, 2010 He's great, but I don't see him improving from his 08-09 97 point year. Hopefully he can put up 90+ numbers this year if the top 6 can stay healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He would easily get 100+ pts on almost every other team if he got to play all offense like many of the players around the league... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah he does get 2 minutes less PP time on average then other 90+ point players. Would be interesting to see how he would do, then again a lot of his points do come off the transition after a great back check by him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nev 1,085 Report post Posted May 28, 2010 They made a comment during one of the playoff games about his training and how it is second to none, first on the ice and the last to leave kind of thing. Williams said when he re-signed with us that Datsyuk* was the best conditioned athlete he'd ever come across, and he's seen a few as he bounced around the hockey world *And Draper.

Hopefully he can put up 90+ numbers this year if the top 6 can stay healthy. points mean little. but even if it mean something he is a way better then 99.999% of the league: See: 2008 & 2009 NHL Player Contribution Data.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted May 30, 2010 Datsyuk may not even be human. He may be a member of a tribe of some life force in which only five or seven people exist in the whole capacity of life itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted May 30, 2010 Really though he is a perfect example that hard work pays off I think he's more an example of how much talent has to do with everything. Of course you have to work hard and still have talent to even get to the NHL, but Datsyuk is just a natural talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) I don't think he was better this year than last year. You can say that about the whole team I guess, but I think we've seen his peak as a player. Hopefully he stays at this level for a few more years. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just another biased LGW member who expects Datsyuk to score 120 points next year and for Hank to hit 50 goals, while Hudler scores 80 points. Tired of these unrealistic expectations. He didn't have the kind of season a guy like that should have had.
