In the NHL All-Star Media Day today, Zdeno Chara was posed the question of "why Pavel Datsyuk as your first choice?"

Chara's answer was pretty cut and dry.

"Pavel plays the game the right way...he is the best two-way player in the game."

Chara went on to exalt Datsyuk further as he called him "the best player in the League."

In response, all Datsyuk had to say was "thank you". A phrase which he said six times in two minutes while being interviewed today at the Media Day.
