Who is the BEST out of shape player of alltime?

[Crazy Cizikas]

Mario Lemieux

Lemieux wasn’t out of shape. He just enjoyed his cigarettes.

While not being the best, shoutout to Kyle Wellwood.

Didn't Glenn Hall skip preaseason to paint his barn?

I'd love to see that excuse nowadays.

 

[Dexter Colt]

I don't know about all-timers, but Sergei Zubov was a beast for a dude who'd eat meat pies (chebureki) before games, and have cigarettes between periods. The meat pie is a personal memory from 1990, and I have chosen to define his pre-game by this.

Also Lyle Odelein and Turner Stevenson, two guys who always appeared to be skating in quicksand, were both kind of chunky.

Not all Stevenson's fault. He has one leg shorter than the other, and it wasn't picked up on until well into his career.

Who was that high draft pick who couldn’t do a single pull-up?

After being drafted 12th overall, rookie Gary Roberts showed up at Flames training camp and couldn’t do even one pull up.

Most of us know how this story ends.

No, not with Roberts as a renowned fitness nut who still can whoop 70 percent of all active players.

As Phil Kessel’s trainer.

Kyle Wellwood

That heffer Dotchin minus the whole being that good part

While not being the best, shoutout to Kyle Wellwood.

I needed a Wellwood about-out.

 

[Jack Straw]

Phil Esposito deserves a mention here.

 

[Maitz]

Mike Ribeiro say hello, do someone knows where he is now? Touching his babysitter? Breaking into a house?

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Fat Jeremy Roenick with the Kings

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Khabibulin used to chain smoke and drink half a pot of coffee between periods.

 

[puckpilot]

Viscera. Playa was chunky but man he had game.

Players none of us witnessed play live is the answer! Many of the guys in 50s, 60s and much earlier were pretty good hockey players, training back then was much less or even non existent to many! Nowadays it is Kessel hands down, I am still always amazed how fast he is for a guy that doesn't look like a prototypical hockey player.

Martti Jarkko

 

[Todd Parchment]

Gretzky

Brett Hull.

Phil Esposito

 

[Bronson]

Mike Bossy smoked at least two packs per day.

Mario Lemieux I'd say. He may not look out of shape when he was playing, but he loved to mentioned in summers how he never worked out and drank wine and ate hot dogs.

Phil Kessel has the chubby face and the media saying he's out of shape, but his fitness tests with the Leafs were always made public and he posted great results which the media never seemed interested in publicizing much. At one point he was the 3rd best on the team at the same time everyone was calling him fat and out of shape.

Doesn't he have disorder,chronic illness or something of that sort,
that makes his face all puffy/chubby like.
