Meme Time! - "If I Were a Hockey Player"
By Gőlbez
It's been awhile since we had one of those meme fads make its way around the hockey blogosphere, so I'm up at 7:30AM on a Sunday morning and got nothing better to do.
If I Were a Hockey Player:
Team: Vancouver Canucks (gotta be the hometown)
Uniform Number: 75
Position: Left Wing
Nickname: sadly, "Jessie" or "Golbie"
Dream Linemates: Sidney Crosby at center, Pavol Demitra at RW.
Rounding out the PP: Jiri Slegr and Zdeno Chara.
Job: Mucking, Grinding, scoring the odd goal, and injuring anyone who breathes on Pavol.
Signature Move: Having goals go in off of my ass.
Strengths: Shooting, Work Ethic, Deflections
Weaknessess: Passing, Skating
Injury Problems? My right knee
Equipment: Full visor with reflective blue tint (Ovechkin style), Mario Lemieux RH Koho stick, and anything-but-Nike to fill out the rest.
Nemesis: Sean Avery (shutupshutupshutup!), Martin Brodeur, and Chris Pronger.
Scandal Involvement: Shooting pucks at Gary Bettman during a warmup.
Who I'd face in the Stanley Cup Finals: Toronto Maple Leafs. Crushing the lemmings after they come oh-so-close is too good to resist.
What I'd do with the Stanley Cup after our victory: Eat popcorn out of it, hold it, caress it,make sweet, sweet love to it.
Would the media love me or hate me? Both! They'd love how I'd give it to them straight, but hate that I'd force them to pronounce my name correctly or get a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to the head.

ok, forget about the first question. Seeing too much hockey in too short spells makes you immune to watching the advertisement boards:)

D00d, that was the Dream Team from years back. You were one of my defensive forwards, don't ya remember? :)
...and injuring anyone who breathes on Pavol
Okay, I have been sometimes accused of being in the tank for Crosby, but that quote takes man-crush to a whole new level. ;)
This is a really great meme. I want to do it now.
I am guessing your screen capture was done from the PC version of the game. Is that true?
I really like to use myself as a character in Smackdown vs Raw (WWE) more often than NHL series these days. Lemme see what I can come up with.
Take care of yourself, Jes.

Looks like fun... I would imagine any hockey fan would always wonder what it would be like if they were on the ice ;)
If I were a hockey player
Team: Vancouver Canucks
Uniform Number: 88
Position: Goalie
Nickname: Dragon Lady
Signature Move: Playing the puck and sending it flying down the ice ala Turco
Strengths: Puck handling, quick reflexes
Weaknesses: Crease crashers, five-hole
Injury problems: back troubles from getting run over from behind :p
Equipment: Goalie mask would have a white dragon on a purple background
Nemesis: Uh, crease crashers? Pretty much the whole Calgary and Edmonton teams :p
Scandal: Caught on camera numerous times taking chops outta the ankles of opposing players whenever the ref isn`t looking.
Stanley Cup Final Opponent: NY Rangers. Revenge for 1994, baby!

Mike,
That shot is from NHL 2003 (I think its 2003) when I imported the Czech league teams, arenas, and uniforms and had myself a dream team. This was well before EA actually got the Czech leagues into the game. Good times...
Aurian,
Good idea. Let's unretire the 1994 Rangers and kick their asses ;)

I'll give you $20 if you shoot pucks at Bettman for real.
Who wants to chip in with me? :)

Thanks for the tag, Jes. I have posted one of my own and tagged others. What a great idea! I could really wrap my brain around it!
Aurian, some of our interests were quite similar:
"Nemesis: Uh, crease crashers? Pretty much the whole Calgary and Edmonton teams :p
Scandal: Caught on camera numerous times taking chops outta the ankles of opposing players whenever the ref isn`t looking"
heheh, I singled out Ryan Smyth and Tomas Holmstrom!
Hope this idea catches on!

Ok Golbez, you've suckered me in. My post is up. With my poor shooting and your poor skating, we'd be like Adam Oates and Brett Hull revisited!
Thanks, Jes.
This was fun. I posted it just now and passed out my tags. Hope the idea spread like wildfire.

I too took the bait. That's probably virtual me as a Canadian about to splat after your cheap slew foot move.

Cason,
Now, now, I'd never slew foot you. Elbow? Cross-Check? Yes, but never slew foot. (besides, I didn't know you back in 2003)
According to my photo description, that poor sap is German Titov. Now, there is a blast from the past.

If we get enough "players", there could even be an All-Time starting five, like they did over at On Frozen Blog a couple months back...
Here's mine...
