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

[HanSolo]

I'm going with a couple formers on would.

Selanne
Bryzgalov
Ovechkin

Would not

McDavid
MacKinnon
Binnington

I could probably add like ten more but that's 2 bores and one douche. I can just picture mack ordering a water and telling me he only drinks when he has something to celebrate and even then he has one truly before cutting himself off.

 

[njdevils1982]

with ovechkin we're drinking vodka.... with crosby it's a "double double" from tim horton's

ya......there is only one right choice in this scenario

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

 

[Fist of Fury]

I would hit the town with Bob Probert, Chris Simon & Jere Karalahti. Would not with Tavares, Mcdavid, Crosby.

That's what I meant. Just seemed like he'd be a fun guy when drunk.

Current, man, current! Otherwise I gotta go through spittin chiclets and figure out which old booze bag told the best stories. Seriously though, you play it as you like, I just figure the possibility of past players means I’m immediately getting Corson involved just to watch shit happen.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Erik Cole is my kinda guy. Barzal no.

Well. If you enjoy homophobia and xenophobia spewed in all caps, sure.

Fine if current then probably

William Karlsson
Ovechkin
Kucherov

I doubt he'd spend a drinking night on all that but he's just a name that popped into my head. His political opinions are disappointing.

 

[Stapler]

Wood:
Bogosian
Hakanpää
Lemieux

Not:
Couture
Compher
Kakko

He gets triggered by pretty much anything..

 

[Plural]

I would hit the town with Bob Probert, Chris Simon & Jere Karalahti. Would not with Tavares, Mcdavid, Crosby.

In the past few months, Karalahti has amassed 66t€ in collectable debt, lost his entire credit, pissed on a bouncers shoes, attacked random people in an airplane and left his wife and kids (again, different kids and wife, same dude).

Seems like he knows how to party.

 

[DaveG]

Erik Cole is my kinda guy. Barzal no.

opinions from sandbaggers

have drank with Erik Cole, very fun dude, legitimately a good guy too.

3 current ones I'd want:
1 Marchand - might hate him on the ice but the guy seems hilarious
2 Burns - anyone that weird has to have some great stories
3 Aho - guy has an extremely dry sense of humor and is incredibly smart for a hockey player, figure if he ever got drunk and decided to roast people it would be hilarious.

3 to avoid:
1 MacKinnon - yeah I'm not getting called out for drinking something with more than 100 calories or whatever
2 Cousins - prick
3 Slavin - pretty sure dude doesn't drink, though nice enough guy at least - actually scratch Slavin, could always use a DD around if needed

He's reportedly a very fun guy to party with. His opinions these days seem kind a weird, but if it's just for a fun night out, basically all former Finnish NHL players always name Selanne as one of the best guys to go out with. Fun, easy going and generous.

He's annoying as f*** in twitter these days though.

 

[JoVel]

Five drinks in Ovechkin will be rambling about how the fall of the Soviet Union was the biggest tragedy in history.

 

[BB79]

Yes:
Doug Murray... Invented the 3-way beer tap, so you know this dude parties.

I'd like to see a hot dog eating contest between him and Kessel

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Bob Errey and Phil Bouqure for sure because I'm sure their blood is about 40% ABV.

 

[wedge]

Ovie
Fleury
Slafkovsky seems chill

No
Matthews
Marchand
Carter Hart

 

[PavelBure10]

Bob Probert RIP would be cool to shoot the shit with and have a couple of beers. I am sure he would have some insane stories to tell.

 

[vancityluongo]

it's a weird/funny question because all of these guys are just dudes. i genuinely can't think of anyone in the league right now that i'd have numerous questions for because they're interesting. athough a lot of interesting guys from the recent past (subban, kessel, bryzgalov, bobby ryan, bissonette - he's a moron, but i'd go for a beer with him) have retired recently. also probably an age thing, lol. could've rattled off a top-50 when i was in high school. anyways.

top-3:
auston matthews (would be curious about his interests beyond hockey and how he thinks the game could grow)
dylan cozens (same hometown)
claude giroux (been around for a long time, comes across as interesting, probably has cool stories)

hm: elias pettersson, jujhar khaira

bottom-3:
patrick kane
erik gudbranson
tyler seguin

 

[LemonSauceD]

Would have beers with:

Shane O Brien
Burrows
Kesler
Hordichuk
Wellwood

Not have beers with:
Dustin Brown
Duncan Keith
David Backes

 

[ryan callahan]

Cousins, Gallagher and Marchand

 

[brentashton]

Drink with:
Drew Doughty
Brady Tkachuk
Nick Foligno

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

 

[jetsforever]

Yes for Nate Schmidt
