Can you build the perfect hockey player?

Question

Imagine you are Dr. Frankenstein and you're bored in the lab. You have at your disposal the attributes and skills of every hockey player, active and retired; living and deceased. Which would you use to put together the best hockey player on the planet?

Answer 1

I'd put Mario's legs on Bobby Orr. It was the only imperfect part of the greatest player ever. Or maybe Gil Perrault's legs. Ever see those? Bleeding tree trunks.

Answer 2

I'll only use active players now:

Head: Nick Lidstrom/Joe Sakic/Bill Guerin
Hands: Sydney Crosby/Ovechkin/Ilya Kovalchuk
Skating: Marian Gaborik/Martin St. Louis/ Ilya Kovalchuk
Body checking: Sheldon Souray/Bryan McCabe
Wrist: Evegeni Malikn
Slap: Chara
Fightning: Andrew Peters
Heart: Chris Drury
Toughness: Tomas Holmstrom/Ryan Smyth
Defensive: Wade Redden
Creativity: Paul Kariya
Vision: Joe Thornton
Passing: Mike Modano
Determanation: Drury
Shootout Talent: Jussi Jokinen
Breakaway: Eric Staal/Olli Jokinen
Excitement: Patrick Kane/Max Afinogenov/Jonathen Toews

I call him Guy Sacrosby

Answer 3

I use to have the same issue, until one summer I did the following everyday. 1: Find a tennis ball and a street hockey stick. 2: Find a wall. 3: Take 50 slapshots, 50 wristers, 50 snap shots, 50 backhanders per day. I know you say you only need to perfect your slapshot, but getting in a little extra practice for the other shots is good too. Honestly after I did this for a summer, I could SNIPE. Led my team with 54 goals in 60 games, on defense.

Answer 4

Gretzky's work ethic and overall skill in collaboration with Ovechkin's love for the game and intensity. toss in Orr's end to end scoring and defensive ability, and Crosby's production. Messier's leadership, Drury's clutch abilities, and the Rocket Richard's scoring ability. I'm positive there are several attributes and players i left out but that's what I've got so far.

Answer 5

Wayne Gretzky's brain and vision
Pavel Bure's hands
Bobby Hull's biceps
Mike Gartner's legs
Denis Savard's skating ability in traffic
Bobby Orr;s passing ability
Bobby Clarke's tenacity

And I'm putting Craig Ludwig's shin pads on the guy!

Answer 6

Rocket Richard's glare,
Bobby Orr's jump,
Gordie Howe's longevity,
Jean Béliveau's grace,
Wayne Gretzky's vision (I see that's a popular one)
Mario Lemieux's heart

Throw some Scott Stevens spares in there, because graceful and skilled or not, my hockey player's going to be able to throw a good open-ice bodycheck!

Answer 7

The leadership of Messier, the overall ability of Gretzky, the toughness of Neely, the speed of Gaborik, the deking of Lemieux, the accurate shot of Kovalchuk, the passing ability of Crosby.

Answer 8

Rocket Richard's desire, Gretzky's eyes, Mario's physique, Orr's legs, Bossy's hands, Gordie's heart and Scott Stevens hips.

Answer 9

Chris, you have Jessica Alba's body? LMAO

I'd give my player;

Gretzky's passing ability and vision

Sakic's wrister

Lemieux's heart, determination, toughness and breakaway abilities

Bobby Hull's slapshot

Pavel Bure's speed

Gordie Howe's longetivity

And I got myself one hell of a player.

Oh, and I guess I'll add Pavel Bure's speed seeing as my player is pretty slow without it.

Answer 10

Gordie Howe. The absolute perfect hockey player.
