Thanks to Jes Gőlbez for calling this to my attention.
If I Were a Hockey Player:
Team: Washington Capitals
Uniform Number: 17 (Clarkie would just have to give it up)
Position: Right Wing
Nickname: Big Mac
Dream Linemates: Bryan Trottier at center, Alex Ovechkin at left wing.
Rounding out the PP: Bobby Orr and Scott Stevens.
Job: King of the garbage goal. Penalty killer.
Signature Move: My lethal backhand.
Strengths: Clearing the puck out of the defensive zone on the penalty kill without shooting it into the crowd
Weaknessess: Too many to list.
Injury Problems? Back, groin.
Equipment: Jofa helmet, half-shield, Ulf Samuelsson-style. Easton aluminum stick.
Nemesis: Eklund.
Scandal Involvement: I am so on board with Chelios and the NHLPA rebels.
Who I'd face in the Stanley Cup Finals: The Chicago Blackhawks. They were the best fans in the Western Conference once and they will be again.
What I'd do with the Stanley Cup after our victory: Parade it down the main drag of my hometown on Long Island. It would probably be the only chance they'll ever have to see the Cup again.
Would the media love me or hate me? The local bloggers would have me on the bus to Hershey every weekend.
No worries on the tagging -- everybody is welcome to climb on board.
UPDATE: Do you have answers of your own? Send them to me by email and I'll include them after the jump. I see Earl Sleek has already jumped into the fray. Also, check out Murph at Islanders Army.
Reader Bill Walsh chimes in...
Team: Caps
Uniform Number: 11 (Close to 12, which should be retired, and Esa Tikkanen)
Position: Right Wing
Nickname: Hard to say. All hockey nicknames seem to follow the -s or -y formula, and that doesn't really work with my name. So, maybe something dippy like B-Dub?
Dream Linemates: Gretzky and Paul Tetsuhiko Kariya. There might not be enough pucks, though.
Rounding out the PP: Teemu Sel
