Theo Fleury:  Probably the greatest short player in the 90's, in my opinion.  As much as I always pick on him in chat rooms (if you've seen me in Yahoo or in the old WBS chat rooms, you know what I mean) I've always liked Fleury.        I think it is because of the combination of his heighth, his playing style, and his attitude.  He ain't afraid of nobody.  He's also had to put up with a lot of not so good stuff in his life to make it to where he is now, and I admire him because of that.  (BTW, if you can, you must read Fury: Inside the Life of Theoren Fleury.  Not only is it Fleury's biography, but it gives an insight of how hockey is seen in Calgary and in Canada in general and an aspect of the now-business side of sports.)

Mike Modano: Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, Mikey...what can I say about you that won't make me sound like a puck bunny?        Modano has ALWAYS been my favorite hockey player (okay, technically Fleury was my first favorite hockey player, but that was only because I thought he was a cute little guy when I saw a clip of the '89 Flames when I was ten and didn't know what hockey was.). He's a triple threat: a great skater, a great shooter, a great passer, and now a physical prescense.  (okay, so that's four threats.  Sue me, why don't ya? :p)  Modano is like Steve Yzerman was in the early 90's:  a great player overshadowed by two greater ones (Lindros and Jagr for Modano, and Gretzky and Lemieux for Yzerman). From what I've read, he is also a really sweet guy.  Even though he does look like a beaver...I still think he's a cutie, though.  I just LOVE his eyes.  I could get lost in them...*sigh and drool for about five minutes*  Uh...now back to your regularily scheduled hockey love/hate page...

Joè Juneau:  How can I like him, you ask, especially after some of the stuff he said after game six of the 1999 Finals??  Simple: he's one of THOSE guys.  You know the kind; I guarentee that there was one in everyone's graduating class.  The kind that are so good at everything they do they make you nauseous?  Yeah...one of THOSE guys.       First off, the boy has got some SERIOUS passing skills.  Anyone who can rack up 70 assists their rookie year has got some skills.  Not only is he a good hockey player, but he's smart (he's got a degree in aeronomic engineering), he plays music (the drums is harder than it looks, trust me), and he's a licensed pilot (I can't even drive a car!).  And, if I remember right, he taught himself English and how to play the drums.  That takes brains.  Okay, enough gushing about his brain matter... :)  (at least I ain't gushing over his looks...though, he looked REALLY nice in the NHLCoolShots thing he did with Doan.  He, he, he...[I swear, I wasn't looking at his lower body!  Is it my fault that the pants he was wearing emphasized that particular area?])

Richard Matvichuk: I love Matty (that's a NICKNAME, people).  Well, not in the whole "I want to marry him" sense of love, but y'all know what I mean.  Besides, he's married.  And, no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I think that he looks like the guy who plays the gay guy in Dawson's Creek, (no, I don't know the guy's name...I only saw that show ONCE, and even then I missed the opening credits)  I like him because he's an awesome hockey player.      I seriously think that he is one of the most underrated players in the NHL.  Sure, he's not an offensive threat, like Darryl Sydor or Sergei Zubov,   And, granted, he's not nearly the physical prescence that Derian Hatcher his.  And, yes, he has been know to give a few cheap shots.  (That hit on Foppa was clean, Jori, I SWEAR!  And he didn't mean to hurt Hejduk, either!)  But, he does his job defensively, which is to block shots and to prevent the other team from having any scoring chances.  Besides,his middle name's Dorian.  Gotta feel sorry for the boy.

The Hates...
 

Bryan Marchment: Satan in the flesh.  Satan as in the evil guy who occupies hell, not hockey player guy who lives in Buffalo (though, some people might consider Buffalo Hell...)        Okay, so he's not nearly as bad as some hockey players, but this guy's never going to come off my shit list, even if he does become a Star.   I hope that Marchment never DOES become a Star, because we got Hatcher and Matvichuk.  We don't need any more goon-type players.  (Even if Matty's a cuddly geeky looking-type goon and I wouldn't be too upset if Hatch had his arms around me....[what's wrong with me?  I just called Hatcher cute?!?])  He plays nasty and is a general asshole, playing wise.  So what if he's a big cuddly duddly  teddy bear type person off ice?  He hurt too many Stars in the past for me to like him.  You're talking to the webmistress of the Bryan Marchment Hater's webring.  So :p

 

Derian Hatcher: Speaking of Hatcher, here he is!  I don't really hate him, persay, but there are a few things that bug me about him.  Mostly, it's the way he plays defence.       Yeah, it's effective to have a six foot, 235 pound guy standing in front the net beating up almost every opposing player that goes near the net.  However, when he screws up, (which tends to happen a LOT) the other team scores.  Besides, every fan has one player on their team.  You know, that one player they just can't stand and if they had their way they'd throw them off a short pier wearing cement shoes, but yet at the same time they're glad as hell that they're on THEIR team, cuz they're big and scary and stuff?  Hatcher's that player for me. Hey, you "always let the Wookie win".  (The Dallas Stars mailing list that I'm on usually refers to Hatcher as "the Wookie", cuz he is a lot like Chewbacca)

 

Billy Tibbetts:  The man who started a fight in Hartford.  I don't care if this guy ends up being the next Wayne Gretzky, or if he ends up being the best American born hockey player ever.  I don't even care that he is an extremely attractive man.  He's a convicted criminal.      What he did off the ice with a drunk fifteen year old at a kegger when he was 19 is unforgiveable. So what if she wanted to do it? She was drunk, he wasn't drunk, he took advantage of her state, it's rape. Pure and simple. There is a certain line that, if a person crosses it, they're on my shite list forever.  He not only crossed that line, but is about fifty feet over said line.  (I could go into more of the details, but this IS a family quality site...I don't want to get kicked off of fortunecity.com for descriptions of the whole incident).   Plus, he beats up teddy bears that are thrown onto the ice for a Children's Hospital cuz they're in his way. What a fucking jerkoff.

Well, that's all for now.
