[Viqsi]

Technically I'm ineligible, but...
Pro: Umberger, Martinek
Con: What do you mean, folks I'm "against"? This is my team, damnit!

[Hipster Letestu]

Crush: The Wiz, Calvert, Atkinson (if/when he plays)

Anti: Russell, Dorsett

[CBJSprague24]

Kubalik, Umberger, Dorsett, Russell, Calvert, Carter, Wiz, Prospal.

[gojackets1]

I call Savard!

Im not that anti anybody, but if I had to pick, it would be Boll.

[knucklepuck28]

Crush: Calvert, Methot, Clitsome, Savard

Anti: Russell, Boll, Pahlsson

[blahblah]

I don't have man-crushes. I like what Wisniewski is saying, so I'm curious to see if he backs it up. I like Calvert. I'm really interested in watching our top 4 prospects in camp (Johansen, Moore, Savard, Atkinson).

But I don't really get emotionally attached to players. As an org I thought we made a bad moving letting Manny go, but it didn't bother me on a personal level. I like Hitch, but we have a new coach now. As I said I can enjoy watching him again @ his next job.

I need to wait until at least November 1st before making this decision. That way it can grow "organically".

Last season's "man crush" = Calvert and Clitsome
Last season's anti = Mason

But, the slate gets wiped clean during the summer.

[Doug61]

I've moved on from Voracek, and now I'm ready to say unreasonable things about Ryan Johansen.

[IBleedUnionBlue]

Crush - Umberger. Calvert. Wiz.

Anti-crush - Carter. The rumors in Philly. The fact that Philly wanted to trade him. I just have a sense of unease about him. 90% odds the guys kicks tail here and proves me wrong. I hope so.

[SnygGo]

Crush - Brassard. Russell. Atkinson.

Anti-crush - Dorsett.

[Inquiring Minds]

Crush - Anyone who pots the GWG

[CBJCougar]

Man crush: Please. I'm a Cougar. (did anyone buy that? lol) Wiz.

Anti: None. My team, my forgiveness.

[Monk]

Definitely gonna have to wait for the season to start before I can even begin to guess. ****! I'm pumped.

[Matthew]

Man crush: Samkow, Kalliowehardlyknewye, plong123, Jeff Carter's highlights.

Anti: Timelesswinter, JF, Nashville Predators and their fans (That means you, Viqsi), Columbus Red Jackets fans.

[Fro]

damn...was hoping to make the matthew mancrush list

[Matthew]

The prospect report is due in a few weeks. Keep close watch.

[Samkow]

I like underdogs/hate overdogs, plus have an affinity for players that the tr00 fans of puck-rakers hate and start to detest their man crushes so this is subject to rapid change, but...

Crushes (because of untr00ness): Pahlsson, Russell, Mason
Crushes (because of underratedness): Tyutin
Anti-Crushes (because of tr00ness): Clitsome, Umberger
Anti-Crushes (because of being extremely overhyped): Atkinson, Calvert, Dekanich

[Matthew]

You're not allowed to Anti-Crush on Umberger.

[Renion]

Hoping for good progress from Russell and Brassard. Hoping to see some glimpses of Mayorov and Kubalik. Hoping to see good things out of Pahlsson.

[SuperGenius]

I'm way crushing on Nash at this point for what he's done to help bring in other guys and how he's taken his leadership to another level (if even just by being more visible than in the past).

[Sore Loser]

If we have to pick from the menu and call it a "Man-Crush", then I'd have to go with Rick Nash. I agree with what wooten said ... Nash is the face of this franchise, and will be the main reason we are a successful one.

Anti Crush: Kristian Huselius. I don't know why, but I just don't like him.
