favorite player to watch that doesn’t play for your favorite team?

[JT Kreider]

Jake Sanderson. Should be a favorite for the Calder this season.

 

[Akrapovince]

Easy. Erik Karlsson.

 

[Anomie2029]

Easily Bergeron.

I really should hate Boston, but I love watching them play - and Bergeron is at the heart of that. Such as a complete player and a class act.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Jack Hughes

Jake Sanderson. Should be a favorite for the Calder this season.

You really must enjoy hockey and know all of the nuances to enjoy watching Sanderson play.

I’m not too interested in gap control, separation without contact, zone entry prevention. Or not interested when I’m watching another team anyways.

Sanderson makes killer plays with the puck but I don’t think if I was a fan of another team I would tune into the Senators to watch the Sanderson show.

USA Hockey is do or die

USA Hockey is do or die

US Gold Medal (exclude NYR players, I know it’s hard) or NYR Stanley Cup win?

I would imagine Gold Medal would be the easy choice with all the Rangers on there.

Tough answer. I'd say a Cup win but I was weirdly more heartbroken after the Crosby golden goal than Henrique or Martinez.

Mickey Zibanejad

 

[Eggtimer]

Caufield is fun to watch . Little guy with an unreal shot . Looks incredible how hard he can shoot for a wee little lad .
I like watching rookie or young goalies . I really like how Vladar plays do some odd reason.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Used to be Crosby & Ovechkin.

Now it’s McDavid followed by Makar & MacKinnon (watch Draisaitl closely too when watching 97).

Fun Team I like to watch besides the Canucks..
Rangers: Fox, Panarin, Zibanezad, kid line
HM: Leafs, Lightning, Bruins, Devils

 

[Bizz]

historically it's been Claude Giroux but can't go wrong with McJesus

 

[Ulysses31]

marner overall, laine, jack hughes

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Used to be Ovechkin
Now its Hughes, Makar, McDavid, Kaprizov and Karlsson

 

[TaLoN]

Zegras

Have enjoyed watching his development going back to before he was even drafted. He's such a fun creative player. He clearly enjoys playing the game as much as anyone ever has.

Rangers fan

Crosby and mcdavid

 

[jetsforever]

Matthews is up there when he's on

 

[Tom Polakis]

I like trying to figure out how guys without dazzling skating or stick handling skills are near the top of the league every season. A couple examples are Anze Kopitar and Jonathan Teows, although Teows has recently fallen off. These guys just know where to be, and do everything right without wowing you every night with highlight-reel stuff. Just now editing this to include Patrice Bergeron.

 

[winnipegger]

I'll be boring and just say McDavid. Nobody moves like him. It doesn't make sense. It seems like he has rockets on his skates.

 

[Cheapshot]

Always enjoyed watching Stamkos until the injuries made his body take a shit. Now as a rangers fan, unfortunately ….. Jack Hughes

 

[Rockomax]

McDavid, Patty Kane

 

[PullHard]

Nic Dowd

 

[LemonSauceD]

Jack Hughes, Barzal, Bertuzzi/Larkin, Kaprizov, Crosby/Malkin, Theodore, Kucherov/Stamkos, Matthews

 

[Pierre Larouche]

Panarin, Karlson, Kiprisov, Malkin, Pasta, Nylander, Thompson, Barzal, Gaudreau, to name a bunch.
