IF you could be any player in the NHL ,past or present, who would it be and why? MINE would be the" FLOWER" GUY LAFLEUR, one of the greatest players of all time, to fly down the ice with with ease and score at will! growing up and watching him play on tv, he was my idol of hockey!!!

It would be Jean Beliveau for me. Class personified, on and off the ice.

Man this is a tough one. On the offensive side I would have to say LaFleur. He was a classy player on the ice and also a classy guy off the ice who will always take time to sign an autograph if asked. On the defensive side I would have to say Doug Jarvis. There weren't many better defensive forwards to ever play the game in a Habs uniform except Gainey and Carbonneau....

Yes, I remember Cheryl, although I didn't know her personally. Didn't one of the Rangers also marry Carol Alt?

(Ron Greshner, maybe?)

Yep, and now she's married to Yashin, so she's pretty consistent with her likes and geographic base....

Maybe that's why he can't find the net?

This is a total no brainer in my mind. The Great One himself. I would be Gretzky for sure. And worst choice for me would be "Broke Back" Shayne Corson. Just because he is Darcy Tuckers brother in law and mistress.
