Player you like most on a rival team

[JuniorNelson]

Canucks fan;

Getzlaf
Weber
D.Murray

[Kimahri]

As a Coyotes fan I've always respected Mike Modano.

Although if were going with current players its easily Jonathan Quick. He pisses me off, and in a good way.

[Calirose]

SJS: Thornton (this one isn't easy, patty m would be amazing too)

PHX: Yandle (skates like a gazelle beautiful player to watch, too bad he has a repulsive personality)

DAL: Benn (Wouldn't mind Loui either, both unreal players I truly admire; in fact there are a bunch of guys i really like on this team.)

ANA: Selanne

This. Exactly. I knew I just have to wait till someone else does the work for me ;-)

Oh thank god. I was almost going to say Corey Perry, who I have nothing but hate for but can't help but be amazed at what he does on the ice.

Chicago, Kane.
Detroit, Datsyuk, naturally.
Vancouver, Can't say i like anyone, and though I think they are cake-soft, the Twins have my respect for their obvious impact on games.
Calgary, Iginla
Kings, Kopitar
St. Louis, gotta give props to the whole team, but Pietrangelo is a standout.
Coyotes, Whitney

Apropos of nothing: Pittsburgh, Letang

[TheUnseenHand]

As a Devils fan the only player I ever liked from a rival was Simon Gagne. I respect Lundqvist.

Your initial reaction was to say Perry and then you settled for Selanne? And you call yourself a Sharks fan.

[DuckJet]

LA: Quick and Brad Dotyface
Phoenix: OEL and Yandle
San Jose: couture
Dallas: Eriksson
Nashville: Weber

[Ampersand]

Ducks: Selanne
Sharks: Burish
Kings: Kopitar
Coyotes: Smith

Well Teemu has had one foot out of the league for a couple years now ...
Actually that's more a testament to how good Perry has been. He's been unstoppable the last two years. And it seems like the more pissed off we get, the more unstoppable he is.

[Jray42]

Ryan Callahan
Ryan McDonagh
Bill Guerin
Brooks Orpik
Tavares
Parise (before this offseason)

[LiquidSnake]

Canucks fan

Oilers: RNH, Eberle

Flames: Harvey the Hound

Hawks: Kane, Sharp

[The Perfect Human]

Oilers Fan

Vancouver: Sedin's (I'd kill to have Burrows/Kesler as well, as much as I hate their faces)
Calgary: no one, but maybe Giordano
Avs: Stastny
Wild: Koivu

[Sundinisagod]

MTL: Hate the Habs, yet love Price and Subban.

[BrindamoursNose]

Penguins: Staal and Orpik
Devils: Parise (until recently FA)
NYR: Callahan

[Islanderfan17]

NY Rangers: I respect Lundqvist, but don't like him at all (too much of a pretty boy for me). Can't really think of any players I like on that team otherwise, I hate pretty much all of them, I thought Prust was a pretty cool dude from 24/7 but now he's gone.

Penguins: Evgeni Malkin is the ****ing man, I love the fact that he is probably one of the doofiest guys in the league yet he just tears **** up

Flyers: Claude Giroux really earned my love this past season, he is a really exciting player to watch and I love how he didn't back down from Crosby's BS in the playoffs.

Toronto: I kind of hate Phil Kessel but at the same time I love him cause I find his awkwardness so damn funny.

[KesselLooksLikeRadar]

Ottawa: Erik Karlsson
Montreal: Carey Price
Buffalo: Tyler Myers
Boston: Ermm... I don't really like any Boston player. Not sure why. I don't even hate Boston all that much as a team, either

[fcpremix88]

Detroit: Zetterberg
Chicago: Hossa
Nashville: Rinne
Columbus: Nikitin
