Pavel Datsyuk just refuses to slow down.

We all saw what he could do with a puck in the late 2000s and now, over in Russia, he’s pulling off the exact same trickery at age… 42. He still has ridiculous hands and skate with the best of them and as you’re about to see, he hasn’t appeared to lose a step yet… at all. The guy went end-to-end and pulled off a ridiculous kick-move in the process before almost scoring. We wish he were doing this over in the NHL still but this will do.

 

That right there is just ridiculous. Oh- and did we mention that he can still rip it? Specifically on the backhand?

 

And passing, can’t forget about passing.

 

If Datsyuk keeps this up he could find himself on Russia’s Olympic roster. What a talent.
