Favourite Player growing up was always Doug Gilmour.
Right now I'd have to say it's Datsyuk or Gaborik.

All-time: Yzerman. Met him a few times when I'd accompany my aunt's school group to meet the players. She works with special needs kids and I volunteered at the school so they'd let me go with them. Yzerman was always such a class act when we'd show up. Always greeted everyone with a smile and handshake. He seemed to really appreciate the fanfare. I was actually surprised when he remembered my name the second time I went with the group.

Current: Nik Kronwall. Yeah, I know some of hits are dirty, but he reminds me of Konstantinov in the sense that for a physical d-man, he is considered to be on the small side. His play over the last couple of seasons has, in my opinion, made him a top 10 d-man in the league.

Yesterday, in the spirit of the "House", I was trying to find the Bill Clinton Stevie "Es-zearman" speech. That was so funny. Couldn't locate it though.

Stevie Y is like James Dean, Steve McQueen cool. Happened to play great hockey too.

I would say all time is lucky luc robitaille current player david krejci

My current favorite player is Pavel Datsyuk. I can watch his highlights all day. He makes it look so easy and effotless.

Was talking about Datsyuk with another forum member & coach. They frame by frame him - keying in on his skating. He says all those dangles are derived from his incredible footwork & I agree.

The Joffrey Lupul story is an interesting one of perseverance. Same for David Booth and both are playing great hockey now.

When I was growing up I idolized Potvin and Roy. I was a goalie until about grade 11/12 so when I was young I'd watch Potvin on tv and wear my pads in the basement. Other than that it was Douggie and Sundin.

Now, I don't really have a favourite...I find that being the same age as some of the players there's no one in particular. I guess I enjoy watching Lundqvist and Subban play.

Loving Ryan Callahan's game right now. Great leader. Not in the highlight reel but does all the little things right.

Kopitar, Hands down.

Mikey Richards, Dewey, and JJ close seconds.

Zherdev, Johnny T, Kessel, and Geno outside of LA.

Will you still like Johnson when he gets traded?

[kovalchuk007]

I really liked Super Mario Lemieux, but my favourite player growing up was definitely the Russian Rocket Pavel Bure. I think he's the most exciting player that ever played the game. Everytime he touched the puck something special was about ton happen!

Due to 3 tree hrs difference with where I live I used to put my alarm on to make sure I don't missed the Canucks game!!!!

Now my favourite player is Ilya Kovalchuk but I also like Stamkos & Gaborik.

[TML_FAN]

Always loved Wendel Clark growing up. Gilmour is up there as well for me.

Eric Lindros, Scott Stevens and Sergei Fedorov were some of my other fav's.
