Well, the Hockey News revealed the results of a league-wide player survey. In brackets are my comments and wild predictions at who said what.
Who is the best player in the NHL this season?
10) Erik Cole, Pavel Datsyuk, Rory Fitzpatrick [thank you!], Eric Goddard [...his mother?], Josh Green [.... his mother?], Jarome Iginla, Mike Modano, Ryan Miller, Brian Rolston and Henrik Zetterberg (1) 0.38%
Which of these under-22 players would you select as a foundation for you [sic] franchise?
5) Other -Dan Fritsche, Ryan Getzlaf [Ryan Getzlaf], Karl [sic] Lehtonen [Kari Lehtonen?], Mike Richards [Jeff Carter?] and Mathias Tjarnqvist (1) 0.4%
What’s the best thing about your job?
9) Women (5) 2%
10) Naps (3) 1.2%
...15) Trainers (1) 0.4%
16) Video Coach, Steve Summers (1) 0.4%
Who the hell is Steve Summers? Glad you asked. If I have the correct Steve Summers, he works for the radio station WFAN and covers the Rangers. Someone's ego is growing ...
What’s the worst thing about your job?
11) Working out (3) 1.2%
12) Backchecking (2) 0.81% [Hi Jason]
13) Back-to-back games (2) 0.81%

Crosby?], money [... thank you Captain Sarcasm], Cam Janssen [Hi Tomas], getting yelled at [Pothier?], pre-game skate, coaches and being booed [Alfie?] (1) 0.4%
Finally,
To what city would you least like to be traded?

Just saying.

I will admit that for guys coming in, spending a few hours, and then leaving, Buffalo is a terrible, terrible city, especially the struggling downtown area which is where the arena and hotels are. But once you're settled and finding the right spots, it's wonderful. Ask le petit Briere and Jaro Spacek what they thought of Buffalo before arriving and what they think of Buffalo now.
I love the two guys that said the very worst thing about their job was backchecking. "I'd love my job if it weren't for all the damn DEFENSE!"

Yeah, that was great. I mean, I understand why offensive players might not enjoy back checking...but the absolute worst part of their job? Really? That's pretty funny.
