Who is the BEST out of shape player of alltime?

Depends on what is meant by out of shape or just not in good health? Mike Bossy used to chain-smoke in-between periods. Not the best (or worst) example here but is food for thought.

Among netminders it is Turk Broda, one of the great goalies of all time and constantly overweight and overeating.

The runner-up would be 4-time Stanley Cup champion dynasty netminder, Hart trophy finalist HHOFer: Gump Worsley, as he famously did everything he could to get out of practices and hated to sweat unless it was game time, at which time he would flip, flop and even use his unmasked face to stop pucks, working feverishly as long as the game was on!

First two I thought of as well.
 
Floating around and not backchecking is a part of this.

This is not intended to start some argument about anything but it is the truth.

Fact of the matter is I don't know whether he's in shape or not but I do know that playing many minutes and not getting tired can have multiple reasons.

Okay, you win. He's out of shape.
 
Cool. Didn't know there was a prize nor do I care. Matter of fact I gift my "prize" to you. You're welcome. Now we can say you have won the prize, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Your name has already been engraved. I'm sorry.

Not a concern, I have methods to deal with that. Better yet you still get to keep it with my name engraved on it, this will give you the incentive to keep trying. Bottom line is you now have a prize with my name engraved on it and my blessings to keep it. Win-win!!

Exciting day for you.

I don't make the rules, sir.

To which rules do you refer?

Please direct me to them as I am a respected and established businessman with a long and storied history of understanding and interpreting rules that eliminates the mentality that many have towards just doing what one is told. I say this with full humbleness but did want to let you know my credentials.

I could do this work for you, Mr. Fancy Pants Businessman, but my labour doesn't come cheap.

Why would I get you to do something I can do myself? Keep it simple. Keep the gift. I didn't even know there was one, the fact I then won it matters nothing to me. You seem very desirous of this gift and I have given it to you. I do all my work for free for anyone btw because I am that benevolent.

You may not be interested in the prize, but the prize is interested in you.
 
Hull always seemed like he had an average build. Early in his career perhaps he didn't take his fitness as seriously as he should but I don't ever remember him being out of shape. Just kind of run of the mill

fwiw Gretzky's physique was never all that impressive. He was skinny with very light muscle definition. But if you look at his chest/shoulders/forearms etc. There really wasn't much there.


Don't let Gretzky's stature fool you. His fitness was impeccable. One of the best of his era. His endurance was incredible.

He belongs nowhere near this thread.
