#PlayerComments
1Alex Ovechkin Most entertaining player in the league. He may be ugly but it's so fun to watch him... I wish he plays for Montreal someday :P
2Jon "Nasty" Mirasty Nasty.
3Scott Stevens The greatest hitter of all-time, even if his hits would be illegal if he was playing today.
4Keith Yandle Will become a future leader for the Phoenix Coyotes, great defenseman!
5Shane Doan Used to hate him because of the racism allegations on him but I was young and stupid and I realized he's a heck of a hockey player!
6Todd Bertuzzi Used to be on the best line in the NHL. People are trying to define his career by the one move he made on Steve Moore, but I remember Bertuzzi for being a tough guy who can score goals and protect Naslund.
7Cal Clutterbuck Hits & Hits & Hits & Hits & Hits & Hits
8Ryan White Adds another dimension to the Habs offense. I'd like him to play more, he's physical, fast and he's annoying.
9Duncan Keith Great player.
10Link Gaetz His stick fight with Jason Hamilton... That's why the NAHL is so funny. He's crazy and he should never swing his stick at someone but that was so funny. THE MISSING LINK!
11Mario Lemieux Probably the most talented hockey player in the history of the NHL. He wasn't as good a hockey player as Gretzky, but nearly. Definitely in the 5 best players all time.
12Wayne Gretzky That guy. He dominated hockey like no one has ever dominated a sport. He was terrible as a coach, but as a player, he was way beyond the rest of the league. No one is even close of being as good as him.
13Markus Naslund Used to be my favorite player when I was younger. Great skills!
14Martin St. Louis Amazing! Fast, agile, great sense of hockey!
15Evgeny Vagin LOL
16Joe Sakic Who the hell would hate Joe Sakic? He's amazing.
17Peter Forsberg Very talented, creative, agile and strong player. He shouldn't have done a comeback but he still remains an amazingly good player.
18Chris Nilan He's the last real good enforcer for Montreal. He will probably never be replaced.
19Mike Bossy Goal-scoring machine.
20Al MacInnis Probably the 2nd best offensive defenseman of all time behind Bobby Orr, but MacInnis had the best shot in the entire history of the league.
21Steve Yzerman I grew up wishing I'd become that guy.
22Jarome Iginla Complete forward. He can score and fight once in a while.
23Shea Weber Great D
24Ales Hemsky I hope he would be healthy more often. He's a skillful player and he's spectacular!
25Pavel Datsyuk Probably the guy with the best hands in the league right now.
26Ryan Getzlaf Great center! Pretty fast, much skills, can hit, can play defensive. Complete!
27Carey Price Showman!
28Kevin Shattenkirk Great potential, Avs are stupid to trade him, seriously.
29Marek Malik I just put him here for his famous shootout goal and for his attitude after scoring. That was priceless.
30Sidney Crosby I discovered Sidney Crosby as he was playing his first season with the Rimouski OcĂ©anic. I remember I liked his style and I knew he would become a great player. After being selected 1st overall pick by the Pittsburgh Penguins, I think he became a huge pussy. Sure, he was a great player, but he seemed to be a diver, a whiner and a kinda injury-prone. I really didn't like his attitude, which weren't those of a team captain. The Ovechkin-Crosby war seemed to help pushing that hate I had for him since you could only love one of the 2 greatest players in the NHL at the moment. However, since 2009-2010, he seems to have grown up and become a real leader. You can't deny that Sid's a great guy, he really cares about fans and he's not ashamed to be associated with smaller companies in order to make them known a bit more. The other thing that helped was his performance in the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, you can't hate Sidney after he gave Canada the gold medal. After thinking about it for a while, I can now say I like Sidney Crosby, the best player in the National Hockey League now.
31Pavel Bure He's got the moves! Too much skills and an amazing shot, too bad he was injury prone or else he could have had at least 1000 points.
32Andy McDonald One of my favorite players after the lock-out, but he lost a bit in the last 3 years. He's still a good player.
33Marijan Ivanusec His name in french means dry anus... LOL (I know I'm immature)
34James Wisniewski Amazing spectacular D. Great shot, can fight a bit and does it well. And what a shot he has! And his invisible stick rules!
35Roman Hamrlik Good, sturdy defenseman! THE HAMMER!
36Barry Trotz He is the man without a neck!
37Tom Kostopoulos Although Tom Kostopoulos only won 1 fight in his last 45 ones, that added to the fact that he misses nearly all his scoring chances, he should have been gone a couple of years ago. But, Kosto always fights back, he is a very intense player that never gives up and he always steps up for his teammates. Very very big heart!
38Chris Stewart Great underrated player, he's going to be one of the best powerforwards in the league in 1 or 2 years. Colorado will regret trading him!
39Scott Niedermayer Great leader, also one of the best all-around defensemen of all time.
40Glen Metropolit Good all-around player, great team spirit. And you gotta like the pornstache he used to wear!
41Jeremy Yablonski I just put him here for his eternal duel against Jon Mirasty, they're so exciting to watch!
42Nicklas Lidstrom One of the all-time great defensemen!
43Owen Nolan One of the best powerforwards in history. Not so great, but he fought and racked up points!
44Keith Ballard He is a true hipcheck god! Used to be one of my favorite defensemen in the league when he was playing for the Panthers, but I lost sight of him since he plays for the Canucks. He's the only player I really like in that team!
45John-Michael Liles He's a very good offensive D. Gotta love how he is racking up points even if he's small.
46Jonathan Huberdeau If he gets bigger, Huberdeau could very well become a first liner in the NHL in a couple of years.
47Niklas Kronwall Gotta love him, he's an amazing hitter!
48Andrei Markov One of the best passers on PP in the league, I can't wait 'til he gets healthy and plays with Subban on the PP, it's gonna be crazy!
49Claude Giroux He's truly amazing. Very skilled player.
50Matthew Barnaby An amazing pest, and he wasn't a cheapshot artist. Big mouth, he makes everyone lose their mind.
51T.J. Oshie Great hitter, very strong on his feet, and he's pretty good offensively, too.
52Josh Gorges Warrior.
53Steve Begin Very big heart, I wish all hockey players would be as intense as he is.
54Francis Bouillon Always stepped up for his teammates even if he has a great height disadvantage compared to nearly anyone in the NHL. True warrior and he's a good hitter.
55Jamie Langenbrunner He's the first player I ever liked in the NHL. He's always been underrated but he's a good player.
56Kyle Clifford Great energetic player and he can fight! Tough kid gonna be feared in near future.
57Shayne Corson Guys like him are missed in the NHL theses days. 20 fights and 50 points in a season, why don't we see that now?
58David Bolland He's just a great underrated forward and he hates the Nucks, which is a good thing.
59Jean Beliveau Gotta respect the man. I never saw him play, but I know about one thing : for all his life, he never said no to anything related to the Montreal Canadiens, he is always there for a commercial, for anything. He's also on of the best players in NHL history. Very very big fan of him.
60P.K. Subban You gotta love PK for his skills and for his devastating hits, but the kid's gotta learn that you have to defend yourself in the NHL. I don't like the "pussy" side of his play, but with his abilities and the fact that he puts on a show, I just have to put him on my love list.
61Andrew Shaw I gotta say, this kid is starting to impress me. He's playing very well lately with the Hawks! Promising!
62Max Pacioretty I hope he continues to develop as a "kinda-tough" forward (tough for Montreal standards). He's a good goal-scorer and people need to fuck off with the Chara incident. Pacioretty told everyone to not complain to the police and he said they had to move on, which he did pretty well.
63Marian Hossa Just one of the greatest players who can do everything.
64Jonathan Toews I think Toews will be remembered at the end of his career as a great leader and one of the best NHL players of his era.
65Rick Tocchet He's just the perfect example of a powerforward. He racks up points (nearly 1000 in his career), he hits and he fights! The NHL lacks players like Tocchet today.
66Doug Smith Man, they showed some of his fights at the end of the movie "Goon" and he did seem like a hell of a fun fighter.
67Jason Spezza When he plays like he's able to, he's got probably the softest hands in the league. He's a beast!
68Brendan Gallagher Fearless little man! At 5'9, he doesn't back away from anyone and plays with lots of energy! Very entertaining!
69John Tavares He's becoming the player everyone thought he would be. His skills are amazing!
70Dougie Hamilton I'm very jealous of the fact that he's a property of the Bruins. I'd love Dougie to be on the Habs! He's going to be a top 2 d-man in a couple of years.
71Alex Pietrangelo Probably the best all-around d-man in the league right now. And for many years to come!
72Jonathan Drouin This guy is amazing, if the team that gets the first pick in the 2013 draft doesn't pick him, they'll make a huge mistake.
73Scott Hartnell There's just something about this guy, there's his character, and his effectiveness. He doesn't have the prettiest technique, but he's a great player.

Teams

#TeamComments
1Phoenix Coyotes 2009-2010 They just ruled the show! No real star players and look at the results! Wow!
2Canada 2009-2010 GOLD MEDAL, U MAD AMERICANS?
3Chicago Blackhawks 2011-2012 Just love that team, I hope they will bounce back!
4Montreal Canadiens 2012-2013 Finally showing some toughness! It's still not tough enough, but it's definitely an improvement over the past years. And also allowing youngsters on the team, that's two things we've been missing for the last couple of years!
5Chicago Blackhawks 2012-2013 For a couple of years now, I've been hoping the Blackhawks would get back to the level of play they reached when they won the Stanley Cup. Not only did they reach that level this year, but for now, they're exceeding it ridiculously! Their streak is amazing and I really hope it will go down in history as their second best moment of the year, beside winning the Cup.
6St. Louis Blues 2012-2013 I don't especially like their style of play, but I can't ignore the fact that I have nearly half of their team on my love list. I love the Blues and I wish they would play a more exciting style of play.

Games

#GameComments
1Dec 4, 2009 Boston-Montreal The Centennial game was EPIC. A win vs the Bruins is always good but it's the pre-game celebrations that make me put it there.
2Apr 21, 2005 Thetford Mines-Sorel-Tracy G5 (LNAH) One of the biggest brawls I've ever seen.
3Feb 28, 2010 USA-Canada G1 (OG) SIDNEY CROSBYYYYYYYYYY
4Feb 11, 2011 Pittsburgh-NY Islanders This should happen once a week in the NHL.
5Apr 20, 1984 Quebec-Montreal G6 The famous double-bench clearing that happened at the same time on the score sheet!
6Apr 15, 2012 Pittsburgh-Philadelphia G3 This one could go down as the best game of all post-lockout.
