A Non-Superstar You Loved (or Love) to Watch

[Dave Karp]

On Dallas:
Former: Jere Lehtinen and Craig Ludwig.
Current: Esa Lindell

Other teams:
Former: Robert Svehla and Todd Marchant.
Current: Tom Wilson

Sandis Ozolinsh is an HM but felt he was too much of a “star”.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Hemsky - Greatest player of all-time.
Marchant - If only he could score on breakaways.

 

[Sempiternal]

Peter Bondra
Vyacheslav Kozlov

 

[Machinehead]

I love to watch Jesper Fast go to work.

"Doing the little things" is often such a platitude but he actually fits that mould.

Will hit hard but only if it improves his position to get the puck, great at tipping shots on goal; compliments skill players very well.

He also bodied Tom Wilson once.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Brent Sopel.
I enjoy people who know how to block shots.

[Crabapple]

Prime Jason Pominville was a treat to watch.

 

[Statto]

Deadmarsh.

 

[Thomas Tatar]

Hemsky - Greatest player of all-time.
Marchant - If only he could score on breakaways.

Yeah, not sure where Hemsky falls in most folks opinions about superstardom but he was always a superstar to me and watching what he could do with the puck was unlike any player I have ever seen. His style was uniquely his.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Past- Bob Errey

Current- Bryan Rust

 

[pbgoalie]

cogliano with the Ducks Non stop work ethic and is to get where he needed.

when younger. Kent Nilsson. Man he could skate and was always a threat it seemed

 

[Jedub]

Steve Thomas and Ryan Smyth

 

[member 149439]

Personally I always thought Brad Richardson was very underrated both on and off the ice.

 

[Sniper99]

Vern Fiddler
Alex Tuch

Hemsky's saw the game real well. The problem was while he could make defenders look stupid, he didn't see the game from his teammates perspectives.

McDavid does a lot of things out there and can make plays that his teammates can finish. Hemsky would make plays that pretty much left his teammates handcuffed and confused. If Hemsky could've just started looking at the game from his teammates perspective he would've had some unreal numbers

 

[Stephen]

None really. Average players don't elicit strong emotions.

 

[McJesusSaves97]

Have always liked TJ Oshie

 

[Avsboy]

Steve Konowalchuk because he could play and was a decent guy
Steve Downie because he could play and was a murderer on skates

 

[El Cohiba]

[kilowatt]

Patrick O’Sullivan, for a brief period of time, was a really exciting hockey player to watch.
