Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I know this kind of topic has been posted in the past, but i need something to take my mind off the Lions' 2nd consecutive loss. As the title reads, who are your favorite player(s)on the NHL's other 29 teams? For me: Atlantic Division: New Jersey Devils- David Clarkson, Eric Boulton, Cam Janssen New York Rangers- Marc Staal, Brandon Dubinsky, Brandon Prust, Michael Sauer New York Islanders- John Tavares, Matt Martin Pittsburgh Penguins- Steve MacIntyre Philadelphia Flyers- Wayne Simmonds Northeast Division: Toronto Maple Leafs- Dion Phaneuf, Colton Orr, Jay Rosehill Montreal Canadiens- Travis Moen Ottawa Senators- Chris Neil, Zenon Konopka, Zack Smith, Daniel Alfredsson (Simply because you don't see many players stay with one organization their entire career much anymore.) Buffalo Sabres- Patrick Kaleta (I hate when we play against him, but I'd love him on the team) Boston Bruins- Gregory Campbell, Adam McQuaid, Shawn Thornton, Nathan Horton Southeast Division: Washington Capitals- Alexander Ovechkin, John Erskine, Jason Chimera Carolina Hurricanes- Eric Staal, Tim Gleason Florida Panthers- Ed Jovanovski Tampa Bay Lightning- Steven Stamkos, Steve Downie Winnipeg Jets- Alexander Burmistrov, Evander Kane, Tanner Glass Central Division: Chicago Blackhawks- Sean O'Donnell, Dan Carcillo St. Louis Blues- David Backes Nashville Predators- Brian McGrattan, Shea Weber Columbus Blue Jackets- Derek Dorsett, Jared Boll Northwest Division: Calgary Flames- Mark Giordano, Curtis Glencross, Cory Sarich Vancouver Canucks- Kevin bieksa, although he's a spotpicking ******* at times. I don't really like any of the Canucks. Minnesota Wild- Clayton Stoner Colorado Avalanche- Ryan Wilson, Shane O'Brien Edmonton Oilers- Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall, Magnus Paajarvi, Ryan Jones, Darcy Hordichuk Southwest Division: Dallas Stars- Brenden Morrow, Jamie Benn Phoenix Coyotes- Shane Doan, Boyd Gordon Anaheim Ducks- Corey Perry (When they aren't playing us) San Jose Sharks- Douglas Murray, Jim Vandermeer, Brad Winchester Los Angeles Kings- Matt Greene Discuss...

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Off the top of my head, so it's probably skewed towards Western conference and guys who've been in the league a while since I don't get to watch as much hockey as I used to. Vancouver - Kesler (less so since the diving). I thought he had matured but I think the culture of that team doesn't help him. Los Angeles - Kopitar, Greene, Quick Ducks - Selanne Flyers - Simmonds, Carle, Pronger (It's a love hate relationship) Tampa Bay - Brewer, Roloson, St. Louis Hawks - Mayers, O'Donnell, Toews Preds - Weber Caps - Vokoun Edited October 24, 2011 by haroldsnepsts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted October 25, 2011 I'll just make a quick one here. My 2 favourite non wings in the league are probably Jamie Benn and Ryan Getzlaf. Benn is going to be a stud in a year or two. Next in line might be Prust. Hes a UFA after this season and I really hope the wings pursue him big time. 30 points and 160 pims last year. Throw him on a line with Helm and Abdelkader and sparks will FLY. Giroux also has a nasty set of mitts on him, after Datsyuk I think theyre the best in the league. But seriously if Holland could get Prust for 2.5 Million I would be all for it after this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of us remember his entire career. Frustration against the Red Wings in both the regular season and postseason shouldn't be a novelty.
