Who are the best locker room guys on your team?

[Eagle Eye Cherry]

You know the players on the team with the most character and grit and usually improve the team morale with their presence.


Discuss.

 

[Pip]

Twins, Burrows and Bieksa for the Canucks

 

[The Cheat]

How would we know without being in the lockerroom with them??

from TSN and player or coach interviews during intermissions.

 

[Mrb1p]

Probably Subban, Gallagher and Price.

 

[T Low]

Apparently, Dan Cleary.

 

[RoyalDuder]

Probably wouldn't know it from his interviews and deathly stare, but the Rangers often say Dan Girardi is a great locker room guy and is commonly the team clown. You could see glimpses of this during 24/7.

So what you are really asking is, who has the best media presence through a Canadian outlet?

[Kakko]

Tanner Glass simply has to be

There's no way he'd be anywhere near an NHL rink if he wasn't

 

[Liferleafer]

We haven't traded for him yet....

 

[PerdFan]

Shea Weber, Carter Hutton, Mike Fisher and Olli Jokinen for the Preds.

 

[Erick*]

I don't know. I've never been in the locker room.

Willie Mitchell is our captain though so I'm guessing he's one of the good ones.

 

[Erick*]

Shea Weber, Carter Hutton, Mike Fisher and Olli Jokinen for the Preds.

This is why you never know.
When he was with the Panthers, the perception of Olli Jokinen was that he was a cancer off the ice.

 

[R3DDRAG0N]

apparently Chris Thorburn has intangibles to garner a contract of the nature he signed

 

[Cory Trevor]

Johnny B and Shawn Thornton are gone.

Bring back Ders Poop Juice Axelsson

 

[Seb]

Dale Weise seems to be quite a show in the locker room. Would love to be his teammate.

 

[Lebowski]

Prust, Galchenyuk and Gallagher. They have that bromance going on...

 

[The Cheat]

from TSN and player or coach interviews during intermissions.

If you're asking who has the best media interviews of all time: Pronger. And for me, INEC

Guy used to troll the interviewer, the other team and even the fans in one seamless effort and make you shake your head, fist and laugh at the same time.

 

[MrShift4]

In hockey it is called a dressing room

You'd be lucky to get one name let alone a group of players. Coaches aren't around the team all the time as much as people think they are.

 

[Leafidelity]

Leo Komarov

 

[batting1k]

In addition to Willie Mitchell, I'd say Derek MacKenzie and Dave Bolland. We've got a good amount of veteran guys so it's hard to say exactly which are the best, because they're all probably pretty instrumental.

 

[PerdFan]

This is why you never know.
When he was with the Panthers, the perception of Olli Jokinen was that he was a cancer off the ice.

When the players have been asked that question this season Olli always comes up as a "a good guy to have in the room , good mentor for the younger players, easy laid back, funny guy".

 

[QJL]

Obviously I'm not in the locker room, but the Rangers seem to be one of the most mature locker room teams in the league.

I feel comfortable with the following players having a letter: McDonagh (C), St. Louis (A), Staal (A), Girardi (A), Stepan (A), Lundqvist, D. Moore, Hagelin, Zuccarello, Nash, Boyle.

I hate when people say "How can you possibly know?". You can often tell how a player is received by his team. Look at body language on the ice when a guy scores, or the way they talk in an interview, or even twitter. For example, I can say with certainty that when he was in Toronto, Mike Brown was loved by all.
