    Favorite Players

    Curious to see who you guys like to watch around the league. Doesn't necessarily have to be who you think is the best, just who you enjoy watching

    Oh, and pick players who are NOT on your favorite team. We all know that you like to watch your favorite team's players.

    Mine are, in no particular order:
    -Jonathan Toews
    -Ryan Callahan
    -Pavel Datsyuk
    -John Tavares
    -Evgeni Malkin
    University of Minnesota Golden Gopher Hockey
    Minnesota's Pride on Ice: 1974, 1976, 1979, 2002 & 2003 NCAA National Champions

    "The name on the front of the jersey is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back."

    From the top of my head

    Alex Tanguay
    Loui Eriksson
    Erik Karlsson
    Steven Stamkos
    PK Subban <---- I always hope he does something really stupid/controversial
    Greg Zanon - I don't think he played for the Avs this year, played against us every game this year.

          Arturs Irbe
          Dominik Hasek

            Re: Favorite Players

            Anze Kopitar
            Drew Doughty
            David Backes
            Ryan Kesler (when he's not flopping)
            Patrice Bergeron

            And although I don't "like" him...I respect the hell out of Jonathan Toews.

                Ilya Kavalchuk
                Rick Nash.

                Seems like all the players I like play for a team other than my favorite team.
