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

[Hextallent63]

A buddy of mine ran into Robert Esche in The Philly suburbs
He had stopped at a random bar to have a couple beers after doing some sort of function for the flyers. My friend that said that he was the coolest guy you could meet and was extremely down to earth. He said something along the lines of flyers fans are awesome but crazy and he's just a guy that wants to play hockey.

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

Gotta have Sam Bennett. Whatever happens, he'll have your back.

 

[CanadienShark]

Would:

Ovechkin
Pastrnak
Burns

Would not:

McDavid
MacKinnon
Binnington x100 - I would rather never drink again than subject myself to 30 seconds in his presence.

 

[Lawzy]

Drink with:
Drew Doughty
Brady Tkachuk
Nick Foligno

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

Odd thing to specify especially since it doesn't even narrow it down.

 

[Osakahaus]

Would drink with
1. Matt Martin
2. Stuart Skinner
3. Anthony Duclair

would not drink with
1. PLD
2. Kucherov
3. De Haan

 

[EdJovanovski]

Would: Panarin, Subban, MAF.

They just seem cool.

Would not: Wilson, Jarvis, MacKinnon

Wilson, I would be tempted to put caster oil in his beer, Jarvis is the ugliest human being I've ever seen and I don't wanna look at him, and MacKinnon would call me fat.

LMAO

 

[brentashton]

Odd thing to specify especially since it doesn't even narrow it down.

One plays in Abbotsford, the other in Van. Not that weird to specify.

These guys would be fun to talk to:

1. Cal Clutterbuck
2. Matt Martin
3. Dustin Brown

 

[Bijelo]

I drink alone even with a friend. Almost three or four weeks since four beer and three cider alone.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I drink alone even with a friend. Almost three or four since four beer and three cider alone.

Okay, George Thorogood.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

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

Id bet Ol’ Crankshaft can really throw back some hot dogs lol.

 

[TropicOfNoReturn]

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.

 

[Caps8112]

As far as having a beer and talking hockey from their perspective. Crosby
If it’s wild and crazy. Probably ovi

 

[RR44]

Yes:
-Crosby...love to pick his brain about hockey + life outside hockey
-Doughty...a fun guy to be around I've been told
-Seider...he'd have good taste in beer plus he's on the Red Wings

No:
-M Tkachuk...I'd be wanting to bottle him as we drink
-Zegras...he'd likely talk about himself all evening
-E Kane...strikes me as a trouble maker + arrogant

 

[Chainshot]

Players I have had a drink with:

Rick Martin
Gilbert Perreault
Rene Robert
Brad May
Rob Ray
Ken Sutton
Alex Mogilny
Pat Kaleta
Brian Campbell
Rhett Warrener
Jay McKee
Kevin Haller (forgot him)

Players I've sold a drink (non-alcoholic) to:

Kevin Dineen
Stu Grimson
Adam Burt

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Would drink with

Zadorov
Bieksa
JT MIller

They all have very sardonic senses of humour. As my user-name suggests, that is just my style.

Would not drink with

E. Kane - seems like an entitled prick
Messier - seems like an entitled prick
E. Bear - too soon? (Honestly, good luck in the program bro! Vancouver misses you!)

 

[Leonardlizard]

I'd drink with Perry.

 

[McWeber]

Yes: Maroon, Klim Kostin, Eberle
No: Justin Schultz, Matt Tkachuk

 

[Crosby2010]

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.

 

[JFleegs]

I drank beers at a bar with Ken Daneyko he was cool as hell and we watched his fights on my Phone.

Modern players I would like to drink a beer with Stamkos, Hedman, and Pointer.

 

[LokiDog]

Would:

Alexander Brovechkin
Patty Kane
Tyler Seguin

Would not:

Connor Mcboring
Nathan Mackboring
Sidney Crosboring


I love all three guys I said no to, and I’m sure they can throw back a beer when they want to, but I’m an alcoholic and I want to party.

 

[ElLeetch]

Yes:
Panarin - seems like a goof
Fox - grew up local and was a NYR fan as a kid, be nice to get his perspective on where he is now
Kessel - i think it would be hilarious

No:
Marchand - asshole
Ovechkin - (mods wont let me say)

 

[Guadana]

Yes
Ovechkin - good and intelligent, no star syndrome
Marchand - interesting and fun
Theo Fleury - great and honest
Avery - fun in awkward way and strange in a good way, would argue a lot about


No
Leetch - boring
Zadorov - stupid
McDavid - boring
