Hockey makes football players look like pansies. I first got into hockey in 1994 when the New York Rangers won their first Cup since 1940. I don't know enough about its history to come up with an all-time team. I am sad about the Thrashers' departure from the Deep South. My favorite team is now the St. Louis Blues.

Most Hated Player Ever: Claude Lemieux
Player I Would Pay Good Money To See In His Prime: Wayne Gretzky

Least Passionate Fans (don't show up and don't care): Florida Panthers
My Five Favorite Teams: St. Louis, New York Rangers, Ottawa, Boston, Vancouver

I would love to attend a home game for all 30 teams. I have made it to only one so far---Atlanta.
