What NHL Players Are Thankful For

Written by Rick



Thanksgiving is a good time to reflect upon your life and think about what you are thankful for.

It's also a good time to eat a ridiculous amount of food and pass out on the couch with your pants unbuttoned, but that doesn't lead itself to a blog post quite as well.

So today we're going to look at what certain NHL players (and coaches, GMs and others) are thankful for.



Scott Hartnell: Fresh fingers with dipping sauce

Nicklas Lidstrom: His working testicle

Mike Richards: The fact that his leadership kept him from being suspended

David Booth: dsajc9d320dcnxcd320dxjkbn;ku/m,.h

Martin Brodeur: White Castle

Patrick Kane: Exact change

Marian Hossa: Wise decision making

Joe Thornton: Long summer vacations each year

Alex Ovechkin: Himself. And the Hart Trophy; clearly the only award that matters

Michel Therrien: Contracts with guaranteed money

Chris Osgood: Team defense

Mike Green: His own awesomeness and GreenLife52

Tony Granato: Evil master plans

Chris Pronger: His wife being okay with living in Philadelphia

The Atlanta Thrashers: That Pens fans buy tickets to their games

Gary Roberts: Fiji Water

Steven Stamkos: Gary Roberts

Gary Bettman: Sidney Crosby (Woooooo)

The Phoenix Coyotes: Gary Bettman

Dany Heatley: Only another few years until he can demand to be traded again

Pensblog Charlie: Another male Pensblog writer

Wayne Gretzky: That he has any sort of legacy left after embarrassing himself behind the bench on a nightly basis for years

Sean Avery: Sloppy second helpings

Montreal fans: It won't be the team's 100th anniversary for much longer

Chris Clark: That he somehow still holds onto the "C" in Washington

Craig Anderson: Confidence in the fact that no matter what else happens this season, he's already exceeded expectations

Bruce Boudreau: Five dollar foot longs

Ryan Malone: Getting hit in the face with a puck in 2008

Eric, Jordan, Marc and Jared Staal: The sod farm

Eric Lindros: Excedrin

Boston Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli: The Leafs' struggles this season

"The New Jersey Devils are a win away from meeting the Kings in the Stanley Cup Final." Who honestly would have predicted that 2 months ago?

First thing I'm buying if I win the $2700 for LA winning the cup is a white Mike Richards jersey with Cup patch. Can't wait to smell it

@psamp saw the design concept page for Archer's space armor today. One concept had Archer in Xtacle armor. May have teared up.
