After exhausting just about all possibilities for subject matter, here's a cool question to not only beat the heat, but to bide time until training camp opens up...soon. Hockey fans, out of all the books, cartoons, movies, poems, music videos, etc., who is your favorite fictional hockey player (or coach for that matter)?
May I throw out the "legendary" Eddie LeBec from "Cheers"? Jay Thomas played the Boston Bruins goalie who passed on sipping from Lord Stanley's cup (and helping Ray Bourque earn a ring sooner) to...join a travelling ice show. Too bad Mr. LeBec met an untimely demise.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_LeBec
The episode titled "Death Takes A Holiday On Ice," deals with Eddie's unfortunate demise: he was run over by a Zamboni while pushing a fellow cast member out of the way. At the funeral Carla learned that Eddie had a mistress, Gloria, who lived in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

How about that bad old bearded goon 'Racki' from Youngblood? The one that Rob Lowe's babyfaced character had to fight at the end of the movie. Ol' Racki starts out at him with the 'I'll gouge your eye out' stick thing, until Lowe knocks his stick out of his hands.
Patrick Swayze actually held his own as a 'real' hockey player (Derek Sutton) in that movie & Lowe didn't suck in his part as 'Youngblood' as well.
Not to mention that young Cynthia Gibb looked like she was worth fighting for as well...
Former Blackhawk Eric Nesterenko played his dad. ENest was a smalling willing winger in his day, but lost a TON of NHL fights, so it was funny that he was the guy to toughen up ol' Younglood!

Can we at least have an honorable mention to the feared goons of those classic films; Carl Racki of Youngblood and Ogie Oglethorpe of Slapshot??? Got to love the cementheads...

Jack Bauer.
I'd say Chuck Norris but he is a real hockey player, and the only franchise to win more Cups than the Habs is Chuck Norris.

Come on, it's gotta be Reg Dunlop.
Nevermind the uncanny marketing ploys or the brilliant forecheck formations, he was rockin' Herb Brooks pants before Brooks did. That has to seal the deal right there.

Ned Braden from Slapshot. He reminds me of me when I was playing hockey. Yes I didn't fight (I was a p*ssy)! I was and still am kind of a smartass kind of like Braden.
