Funny interview with Datsyuk

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Interesting interview with Dats posted on Mlive (translated from Russian). Best bit is right at the end

Is there any Olympic hockey champion whose nickname is elephant?

A. Mario Lemieux

B. Alexei Zhitnik

C. Darius Kasparitis

D. Sidney Crosby

Datsyuk answers: "I guess that it's Zhitnik. But I have doubts. Let it be Crosby."

BWAHAHAHAHAAHA! :D

Good read. I don't like this part:

"StickyFingers: Which team do you want to finish your career with?

Datsyuk: Ideally, I'd like to play a season for the Ak Bars and another for Motorist [Ekaterinburg]. That would be nice. They signed me in Kazan after I suffered a serious injury. And Ekaterinburg is my native city. But not everything depends on me. That's a dream scenario."

Agreed, makes you wonder what age Datsyuk will want to leave Detroit.

HAHAHA Pav is hilarious! Like honestly partying with this dude would be the most epic thing ever!

s*** you not too on this story and forgive me if its rambling but....

Was standing outside of the Joe after the Mule's just dominating performance against the Sharks which ultimately was the last home game of the year, but I digress. So me and a few buddies were hanging with the other psychos waiting to see these dudes pull out in their BMW SUV's or Babs' huge F-150 he was driving, Hank's Mercedes, you know all that. I see these young ladies walking by in little skirts and just made a small crack "Hey and there goes Pav's hookers I bet" ya know hahaha all that got some laughs. Not 10 minutes later here comes Pav driving out of the lot and a second later, the same girls in a car as well. Funniest s*** ever or just coincidence who knows. But wouldn't surprise me. Pav you are an inspiration!! goal.gif

I don't want to see Pav go at any point, but everyone must understand that he wants to play for his home town. I mean, wouldn't all of us if we played a professional sport?

He has said in previous interviews that he wants to end his career at home after he retires from the NHL.

Not me. He`s stated these desires before and always framed it as being about when his NHL career is over. NHL stars have been able to play in the KHL past their 40th birthday.

I'd leave too if I was the best playmaker on the team and I don't get a f***ing winger. Jiri Hudler, Val Filppula, and Todd Bertuzzi...Man what options to play with.

Horray for novelty accounts. :rolleyes:

Poor Pavel only has options like Zetterberg, Holmstrom, Hudler and Filppula to play with... you know-- the guys he's happily played with for years (averaging over a point per game).

Do you have any idea how the salary cap works? Do you not understand that Kovy would hamstring the Wings' cap situation and has yet to prove himself a legitimate threat in the playoffs? The best he's gone is 5 games in the 1st round.

On a serious note, I thought it was interesting how Pav talked about how much hockey he's played the last 3 years, what a grind its been etc.. He sounded mentally and physically jaded - which is just how he looked for stretches last season.

Keep in mind he'll likely pull a Dom and play for those teams after his NHL career is no longer viable. I'd have zero problem with that.

AHAHAHA I loved that interview...great post!

Kapitan_Nemo: In the playoffs Detroit met Phoenix. Did you think about chatting with Ilya Bryzgalov?

Datsyuk: Of course. I was his roommate during the Olympics. In general I tend to be the roommate for goalies. Maybe I have a calming effect on goalies?

:D
