Amazing tribute, poor choice of music.
Are we ever going to see another player like Datsyuk?
He combines highlight reel offensive material with Selke level defense. I can't think of anybody more electric and dynamic to watch.
A tribute to the Magic Man.
Kent Nilsson?
Wish people would stop using that nickname. It's taken.

No. And even if we did, I wouldn't admit it.
I know it's a sore subject... But among that current group of centers with Selke level defense, Toews is the one with the slickest hands IMO.
Huh? Datsyuk's hands are clearly better than Toews, and anyone else in the league although there's an argument for Kane. I would take Kopitar over Toews as well in terms of hands. I guess everyone has their own opinion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJoMjUjaoTI Im continuing to try and find some in game examples, but i believe what youre looking for is seen at 2:30 of this video. Correct me if this is not the type of play youre looking for.I suppose I'll use this thread to ask what i seek. I'm having a slightly difficult time locating footage of datsyuk protecting the puck along the boards while using his stick as an anchor. More specifically, just jamming the blade down into the boards in order to avoid getting knocked off the puck. I've combed through some videos on youtube, but to no avail. Can't quite remember where I saw it.
I should have clarified more in the post that you quoted.
This all started by Bench saying that there aren't many guys out there with Selke level defense and amazing hands.
I was trying to say that in addition to Datsyuk, guys that have Selke level defense (Toews, Kopitar, Bergeron) Toews has the best hands of THAT GROUP. Just those three.
I disagree on Kopitar having better hands than Toews, but that is just my take. I think Kopitar is better at protecting the puck, but Toews has better dangles.
I think Datsyuk easily has better hands than Toews.
Thanks, the first video at 2:30 was it! I wanted to pass that along to a friend so we can try it ourselves.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJoMjUjaoTI Im continuing to try and find some in game examples, but i believe what youre looking for is seen at 2:30 of this video.

I can only seem to find plays where he does it for a brief moment. Back to the reels i go.
