Which 3 NHLers would you grab a drink with? (And 3 you wouldn’t)

[Arthur Morgan]

Yes:
Kravtsov
Rempe
Panarin

No:
McDavis
Matthews
JT Bozo Miller

I understand not wanting to get a drink with McDavis but what about McDavid?

 

[Warden of the North]

Jack Campbell? Does he even count? Insert he's not an NHLer joke here I guess.

I generally very much dislike the hockey bro stereotype and Jack seems very unlike it.

 

[fsanford]

Doughty to hear trash talking stories
Ovi again probably some great stories
Brent Burns cuz he strikes me as a flat earther kind of quirky.

Would substitute the Tkachuk boys if the above could not make it

The nots
McDavid seems kind of surly
Binnington strikes me he would be an angry drunk.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Yes:
ovechkin
Walman
Larkin

No:
Reimer
Cousins
Domi

 

[Strangle]

Not many, you end up knowing quite a few drafted hockey players and I wouldn’t hang out with any of them

I know a few friends who’ve played junior and have friends in the NHL and I just don’t think hockey players are generally very good people

At least the Canadian ones

 

[AvroArrow]

Grab a beer with

#1 Ovechkin, if he isn't #1 on your list there's something wrong
#2 Doughty
#3 Kessel

Would not grab a beer with

#1 Deangelo
#2 Marchand
#3 Bennett

Maybe Selänne 15 years ago. He is hella creepy now.

He's probably the same guy he was 15 years ago. Social media just exposed his dumb ass.

 

[Speyer]

He's probably the same guy he was 15 years ago. Social media just exposed his dumb ass.

Why is he considered a creep now? I havent followed his post NHL life at all but always liked him as a player...

 

[DFC]

Nikita Kucherov and then I'd ask for his opinion on the city of Montreal.

 

[Voight]

Would: Ovy, Doughty, Kucherov

Wouldn't: MackInnon , Evander Kane, John Tavares

Erik Cole is my kinda guy. Barzal no.

opinions from sandbaggers

Keep RA away, dude was an embarrassment in one of the recent ones. Mix in a water now and then.

 

[Voight]

Drink with:
Drew Doughty
Brady Tkachuk
Nick Foligno

Hard pass on:
John Tavares
Elias Peterson (Vancouver)
The entire Flames roster

Can he even get into a bar? Dude is a man with he face of a toddler

Yes:
Brent Burns
Ryan O'Reilly
JT Miller

No:
Evander Kane
Evander Kane
Evander Kane

Honorable mention to former NHLer Ilya Bryzgalov who would be top of the 'Yes' list if he were still active.

Just make sure he Ubers there

 

[miscs75]

Does anyone have the photo of the Isles out on Long Island after the season and everyone had a drink except monotone John?

 

[Voight]

Yes:
Brent Burns - Seems like a lot of fun. I'd have some KitKat bars handy
Ovechkin - The salt and pepper and more mature version not as much as the 2008 version. That would be wild
Fleury - He just always seems upbeat and relaxed

No:
Matthews - I'd be a little embarrassed when his drink arrives with a pink umbrella on it
Nylander - See Matthews
Tavares - Only because I'd be bugging him as to why he hasn't captained a Cup for the Leafs yet.

Ironically I like the Leafs.

The 08 Version seems like the type of guy who's partying at 4am in South Beach, then decides to book a private jet for everyone on a whim and they all fly to Vegas for a 3 day bender.

 

[Rich Nixon]

I'd just wanna hang with Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Whichever players are the biggest weebs.

 

[Neil Racki]

I'd grab a beer with Kuzy & Ruzicka, they seem fun.

I was looking for a photo of Kuz, Orlov and a few other dudes drinking beers under a tunnel bridge like teenagers .. there may have even been a trash can fire going

 

[GMR]

Ovechkin
Kessel
Kucherov

 

[NYRfan85]

Too many good choices to pick from for who I would grab a drink with...

But it's an easy choice who I would not grab a drink with:
- McDavid
- Toews
- Mackinnon

That would be the most boring drink I'd ever have, between how stoic/serious they are, and Mackinnon and his crazy enforcement of his diet among his teammates.

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

I'd grab a drink with every NHL player, coach, assistant coach, equipment manager, or team doctor, without much question. Regardless of how they may be perceived, or even what I may think about them, I'd still love to hear the stories they have to tell, especially the ones that only come out after a few drinks. Even if I really disliked the guy, it wouldn't be much different than drinking with some former coworkers, or going to a family reunion.

 

[WreckedUm]

Would:
Kessel, I know the mans getting appetizers
Malkin so he can watch Kessel eat

Wouldn't:
E.Kane, dude would give me that "hey man" look when his card declines
PLD

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

would want to grab a beer with:
jarvis
ovi
kuch


nobody that I wouldn't grab 1 drink with, no matter how much of a douche they could wind up being I could handle it briefly then just leave

 

[Gh24]

Why is he considered a creep now? I havent followed his post NHL life at all but always liked him as a player...

I don't think creep would be the word I'd use. Just made himself a clown on media (especially on Twitter). He grew up and had his career in an era where he wasn't exposed to critisism that easily, or if someone disagreed with him he could just ditch them and only keep suckers around. Now with social media he started to pick fights with random people calling him out on stuff or questioning him. It's been downhill ever since, eventually proving to be the stereotypical hockey player. You know, likes girls, cars and playing hockey, but hard to be underestimated. Thick opinions on political topics etc.

Nothing unordinary, he's just a clown.

 

[CaptainUgly]

Anyone who enters the substance abuse program so I can test their will power.

 

[Absolut]

Yes: Ovie (we can swim in some fountains), Pasta (obviously) and Matthews (if Justin Bieber joins)
Nah: MacKinnon, Adam Fox and Crosby. All three are great but boring.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Kravtsov isn't an NHLer.
