HI Pavel,
I am a big fan of yours. I wear your number and practice all your moves. I hope to be in the NHL someday. We have a chance to go to nationals this year. If we do we might play in Michigan. Maybe ill see you there.

On 2008-10-22 Zach T from Chesterfield, MI, USA:

Hey Pavel, Ever since you have been playing for the Wings, you have been my favorite player. Just watching you move with the puck is amazing. You make some of the worlds best players look like complete fools! My favorite goal of yours was when you sucked Marty Turco out of his jock strap and left it hanging off of the scoreboard! I just shook my head in amazement. I have been playing hockey since I was 3 and I always try your moves in practice. Not that I can recreate them, but it's fun to try.
Thanks for being my hockey hero!
Zach

The best player, in my honest opinion. I love the way Datsyuk plays, I love the moves he makes, I love everything about this man. Keep up the great work!

Hey Pavel, that was a sweet play you made on Redden in OT last night... I don't know how you backcheck so hard all the time - my lungs would explode if I did that. You're the best hockey player in the world!

Hey! Congrats on the awards the past few years! :) I wish I lived closer to games so I could see you guys more. Here's an intriguing stat: I have been to 2 Wings games (December 28, 2002 in Nashville and February 18, 2008 in Colorado). Each season I went to a game, you guys won that game and the Stanley Cup! I wish I could go more often, but love watching on tv or listeneing to Ken Kal and Paul Woods (especially hearing 'Datsyuk scores!').

On 2008-10-16 alex bartlett from south burlington, VT, USA:

pavel,
you are my favorite player and i decided to make my sports literature paper on you. is there anything you can tell me as a hockey player myself and that might help me write my paper. the topic is why does this player play the sport he does? any help would be great

Met Pavel at Hockeytown Cafe...very good for fans. He took time to talk and to sign my Datsyuk jersey...No, it will never be for sale!

On 2008-10-13 Paolo, Pavel, Pavlik from Torino - Parma, Italy:

Hi Pavel. My name is also Pavel, pavlik for my friends. I play hockey, i'm a left wing, I play with #13.. even if at non professional level. I don't know if you remember me, but i was one of your team host during the Olympic Games in Torino 2006. I'm happy for your wonderful career.

On 2008-10-12 Corey from Hearst, Ontario, Canada:

Hey Pavel thank you for signing my jersey at the game in Ottawa October 11, 2008. Even though you didn't have to come over to us you did and it meant alot to me! It has been my dream to meet you in person. I will never forget that day!

On 2008-10-11 Amanda Grunden from Phoenix, AZ, USA:

Growing up in Detroit I naturally became a redwings fan. Now, teaching biology in high school I connect with a lot of students through hockey. My oldest son is turning 13 in December and is one of your biggest fans! I will be having surgery on 12/19 and plan on recovering while watching the coyotes host the redwings. Win this one for me and my son Nicholas!

On 2008-10-10 Tara from Lyon, MI, USA:

Dear Pavel, My name is Tara and I am 10 years old. I am a big fan of yours. I currently live in S. Lyon MI but was adopted from Yekatarenberg Russia when I was 3 years old in 2001. I am currently doing a project in school about a favorite sports fan and I choose you. I know you are very busy, but if you had Nov 10th off could you come to my school while I present on you. I really would like to meet you since you are from the same part of Russia that I am plus I think it would be so cool to have you there while I present. Please consider this if you are free. I love watching you play hockey. I am a great fan of yours. If it is not possible, could you please send photos or anything that I could use in my presentation. An autographed photo of you would be nice.

On 2008-10-10 Michelle Bauer-Mosher from Derby Line, VE, USA:

Hello Pavel, You are like magic on the ice with the puck in your possession, or even if its in your opponents, its like magic and you sneak it away from them most of the time! I purchased your jersey with your signature a few years ago and my husband will not let me wear it. We both feel it will be priceless someday and don't want it damaged. I love listening to you, your english is getting so much better, so don't be shy and use it! I live in northern Vermont with the Quebec border just a 1/4 mile up the road from me (Habs and Bruins Country). I have family in the Detroit area and I always plan to see the Wings live at the Joe when I am there. I am so thankful for NHL Center Ice, because I am able watch your every move on the ice all season long. I would love to learn more about you and your homeland. I will be routing for you and your team every game. I hope you can bring the cup back to Detroit and that I may have the opportunity to meet you with Lord Stanley some day! Sincerely, Michelle #13's loudest cheerleader!!!! Go Dats!!!

On 2008-10-10 Dave Durham (redwingdave63) from Mineral Bluff, GA, USA:

Congratulations Pavel!!! You and Hank have done a wonderful job for the Red Wings and Red Wing fans. Our family which doesn't live in Michigan any longer still watch every game in High Def and listen on the computer or XM radio if we are on the road. Every time you guys get to Nashville or Atlanta to play we are there; however, gas has really put a damper on those lately. Look forward to seeing you and the team soon. Best of luck this season as we support your defense of the cup. Go Wings!!!!

On 2008-10-10 hannah from USA:

Great game last night, you will get them next time! GO WINGS! And good luck!

On 2008-10-08 Sebastian from Bois-Des-Filion, Québec, Canada:

Hey Pav!! I'm glad you're still in action! You're full of energy man, keep up the good work, and even if I live in Canada, Montreal, where EVERYONE roots for the CANADIENS, I still wear my Wings hat proudly and stand up to anyone that comments on how I'm "Supposed to like the Habs" and everyone saying the Wings suck just because they won the cup, and not the Habs last year.... I admire your hard work and all the cool tricks you do, and even if I'm really bad on skates, I play street hockey a lot and I practice your tricks with my ball... I'll be watching you every game this year, like the last 8 years... :)
Forever fan
Sebastian, Quebec, Canada.

Hey Pav, From the first time I saw you play, I knew you were special. I knew that one day you would be one of if not the best player in the NHL.I have not seen moves like yours since Gretzky in his best years.I thank the Wing scouts so much for seeing your potential and making you a Red Wing.And congratulations on the Cup, the Selke,the Lady Bing... your acceptance speeches were great.I cannot wait to see what you come up with this year, on your own or with your pal Zetterberg.I hope you and the boys keep the Cup where it belongs, in Hockeytown!!

On 2008-10-05 Mike Gass from Des Moines, IA, USA:

Pavel, I had you as my star cnter in my CBS sports fantasy hockey league last year and I got you again this year and have been asked to trade you at least 4 times. I will not let you go and hope you take me all the way through the playoffs this year. We made it to the Semi's last year.

On 2008-10-02 Jean Oberholtzer from USA:

Pavel, My son Ethan is a huge fan of yours and is excited to get to see you play on Oct 13th when you play the Carolina Hurricanes. He keeps taking about the game ever since we told him we bought tickets. He also asked us if he can wear his Pavel Datsyuk tee shirt we bought him. Ethan likes to go into the garage and play hockey with his dad, he has his own little stick and can hit the puck really well. Well good luck on the 13th!
