dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Great new Datsyuk video. We are so lucky, not just to get to watch this man, but to live in the youtube era so his incredible back-catalogue of highlights will never be lost, and when we tell future generations "yeah, but you never saw Dats play" we can show them stuff like this. My god that is an amazing highlight reel. Maybe the best I've ever seen in competition with Peter Forsberg's. If he would have included some more of Pavel's physical play and offensive hits and such it would have been just perfect. Very cool that it has both stuff as recent as the last game and way back from his rookie season. Damn he's been a beast for a long time. I really think anyone who doesn't think he's going to be a HOFer is crazy. Edited February 21, 2013 by dat's sick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Axe Report post Posted February 22, 2013 My favourite part of this play is the shoulder he throws on 33 at the start of the play. "Fk you, 33. Out of my way, rookie beeyotch!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Axe Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I don't see how anyone would think he wouldn't make the Hall. Look at the body of his work and tell me he doesn't deserve it. If he retires after next year, he will not get in. 300 goals and 550 assists will be a good total, but not good enough for the HOF. Over 1000 pts and he's a lock. Over 500 goals and 750 assists and he's first ballad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over 1000 pts and he's a lock. Over 500 goals and 750 assists and he's first ballad. Those Selkes, Byngs and Cups would help him get in. As would his reputation as being one of the most unique players of all time. Definitely think he'd get in even if he leaves after next year. Point totals aren't everything. 2 shoobiedoobin and Kira reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted February 24, 2013 As long as he returns to the NHL there's no reason to think he won't break 1000 points. He could break it in 2 more seasons. 1 Kira reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over 1000 pts and he's a lock. Over 500 goals and 750 assists and he's first ballad. I don't agree with such a line of reasoning, but unfortunately thats the way it is. The HOF favours good players who have a long career (Cicarelli) over great players who have a shorter career (Lindros). I doubt the fact that Pav has lost over 100 games to lockouts, was a late bloomer, and never had his totals boosted by playing in the 80s and early 90s will be taken into account. I hope I'm wrong and that 4 Lady Byngs, 2 Selkes, 2 Stanley Cups and the most amazing skillset I've ever seen will be enough. 1 Kira reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kira 451 Report post Posted February 26, 2013 I went looking at stats last night and found out something I didn't know. He's got a better plus-minus than Stevie Y had for his whole career. Now I know that stat means about as much as anything I ever do or say (which ain't much), but it's still rather interesting. He's also now about 18 points behind Norm Ullman for 6th on the all-time scoring list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
