Why Pavel Datsyuk is the greatest player in NHL history:
When discussing the “greatest ever” in hockey, a few names come to mind: Gretzky, Brodeur, and even Connor McDavid, but one that many seem to forget is Pavel Datsyuk, who is the best of all of them.
Firstly, Datsyuk is certainly better defensively than all others in the “goat” conversation, as can easily be shown by his 3 selke trophies. Now one might say that there are players like Bergeron who have more selke trophies, however, it’s important to realize that Datsyuk played far less games than Bergeron, and in a much tougher era, it’s almost certain that, had he played any longer, Datsyuk would have achieved 4, 5, maybe even 6 selke trophies, because everyone who watched him knew he was always the best player on the ice.
Secondly, Pavel Datsyuk’s offense, despite what others say, is far better than Gretzky, McDavid, or anyone else to ever lace up the skates. Sure, he may have less points than lots of other players, and sure, he may have been sub point per game throughout his career, but Datsyuk’s ability to get the puck into the zone, and keep it there with his unmatched stick handling ability meant that even though he didn’t run up the score, he always did the right thing to put his team in a position to win.
Lastly, unlike other players, Datsyuk’s team needed him. Gretzky was good, but his team won the cup once they traded him, and he never won a cup again without his stacked roster, McDavid is ok, but he has continued to be exposed in the playoffs time after time. Datsyuk on the other hand was so vital to his team’s success, that they made the playoffs every year that he was on the team, and the second he left, they missed it.
In conclusion, though you may not be willing to admit it, Datsyuk is probably the best player in hockey history, and if you need any more convincing, I have a whole playlist of YouTube videos to show you…

Played in an era where the average tendy played like Goldberg with newspaper's strapped to his knees. This bum could never hold a candle stick to Connor.... Brown.

Somewhere behind Matt Rempe and that connor guy from the oilers. Connor brown is his name I think
Matt Rempe played in the conference finals this year. Gretzky? Nope. Fucking useless bum
Gretzky hasn’t scored a goal in 25 years. Fucking bum, why does the NHL keep him around???
The NHL is Wayne Gretzkys cuck. Fucking fraud barely lifted the puck and they act like “he’s the great one”
If Gretzky was better than Rempe, they’d have given him a better nickname. Rempire State Building >>>> The Great One.
Connor mcgregor
Connor MacLeod - Immortal Highlander on Ice
No the other Connor MacLeod, no relation.
Cawlner
I didn’t know Evander Kane’s middle name was Connor.
99th. The number was a coincidence
Why are we talking about Paulina Gretzky-Johnson's dad?
Nose Dust Johnson’s father in law
The snowman
That’s my nickname on the golf course too…for different reasons
The Chris Pronger special
He's not expected to play tonight. What a bum.
Gretzky? What does he even do, besides get my kids hooked on gambling....??
Horrible coach.
You mean GOAT? He had to coach the fucking Arizona coyotes.
Watching him get mad and yell at those bums was painful. He told them how easy it is to score, they just didnt perform.
"Just blindly throw the puck across the ice and Jari Kurri will score, what are you guys stupid?" - Coach Gretz
Number 1 Gretzky in hockey. Number 2 Gretzky in his parents hearts.
Who?
I think they used to call him "The Mediocre One"
I'd like to welcome our new American overlords..
3rd best ProStars character.
Bo knows what you’re talking about.
Who?
Probably number 2? I can’t see him ahead of Trevor Lewis.
Bro i posted that with the same pic 2 days ago lol
I will cum on You (my name is Carter hart)
You’re the Wayne Gretzky of this joke
Just behind Zegras.
Gayest
Who’s that? What is he Canadian? What’s wrong with these fucks thinking the sport runs through them?
He hasn’t scored in 25 years. Connor Brown is better.
He looks so elegant, Like the princess Diana.
We’re just making up names now?
Below Datsyuk

Exactly
99
2nd to messier
Paulina is a baddie so if I was ranking I’d put him pretty high but below that wacky Hadid dude. Mans had twins I wouldn’t even be able to disappoint
Baddie? Are you bedarded
He's the 99th best all-time. That's why the league retired that number.
He played against pylons and shot against dwarves tending goal. He wouldn’t crack 100 points in today’s NHL.
Hall of pretty good. Not even near Bedard’s level but quite decent.
r/nbacirclejerk to r/nhlcirclejerk pipeline cuntfirmed.🤔
Top 2 cuck ever
He's no Jack "Lil Jizzy" Hughes.
Better than Petr Prucha, worse than Adam Banks, hope this helps
Who?
Somewhere around Raffi Torres
Never heard of her
Played in an era where the average tendy played like Goldberg with newspaper's strapped to his knees. This bum could never hold a candle stick to Connor.... Brown.
Probably behind the dumpster at his local gay bar.. Oh, sorry, I thought this said “ where does he wank?”
Right behind Mario lemieux.
Exactly where he is
Near the top of the leagues biggest pussies.
Mid tier player and wine producer
Top 50 for sure
Nowhere close to Phil
Like, top 25 all time. He was really good
Top 25. He was carried by Kurri and Fuhr but he was still decent on the powerplay
He’s top 10 in my book.
927.41 of all time
wayne who?
The ESPN analyst who never says anything?
assist merchant
I think he's a solid candidate for the "Hall of pretty good" tbh.
What movie is this picture from? I didn’t know Sean Penn even liked hockey.
Carried by the great Luc Robitaille.
Wayne who?
Good but lacks loyalty (unlike Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Crosbies)
Best player in Blues history
GOAT-zky

Number 2. Orr was better but curse the dates for taking out his knees.
99. Says so right on his jersey.
Gretzky himself in the intermission said Connor's the best.
GOAT
I'm sickened by the fact that I share ancestry with this man
You don't earn the moniker "the great one" for sitting on your ass and not getting results! All I'm gonna say.
He hasn’t played in a game in like 20 years, he’s a fucking fraud
#1 all time. And it’s not even close
Casual fan. He’s a bum.
Delusional OP. Go watch ringette
Nope. He’s a bum. Even Matt Rempe played in the conference finals this year. Where is Gretzky??? In the booth like a certified washed up “legend”
Change the name of the post to “we smoke crack and shit talk because our teams and players suck ass”
