Description
These are some of my absolute favorite players to ever do it, some for skill, some fore nostalgia. YES there is a lot of Habs and Oilers, they are my teams. And yes there are a lot of goalies, I am one so that's why. Let me know what you guys think of my favorite 25!

1. Carey Price - (Obvious)
2. Patrick Roy - Loved this guy and his weirdness, so much so I adopted some of his quirks when playing myself
3. Marc-Andre Fleury - A goalie I grew up watching more than price, I also adopted some of his playstyle as well, drafted first the same year i was born too
4. PK Subban - My very first jersey had Subban on it (he was then traded to nashville weeks later)
5. Nikolai Khabibulin - How can you not like this guys name? Plus One of the first oilers i got to actually meet!
6. Ken Dryden - An absolute montreal legend and I wish I was around to see him play
7. RNH - I have met RNH quite a few times with the meet and greets, and it seems like no matter how much I look older in each photo, he never does lmao. Such a great player and person
8. Sidney Crosby - The generational talent of my generation, how can I hate this guy? Such a beaut
9. Clayton Keller - One of the most underrated stars of our generation. If he was on even a wildcard team, this guy would be getting over 100 points easily
10. Adam Fox - My favourite active defenseman, I believe he should be winning the norris every year
11. Sam Gagner - 8 POINTS IN ONE NIGHT!!! I was 9 years old and watched live at home while my parents went there and saw it in person!
12. Ryan McLeod - The best of the McLeods, plus this guy was super nice when I met him
13. Cam Talbot - single handedly carried the oilers to the second round in 2017
14. Ilya Sorokin - The actual best most consistent active goalie, and is very underrated because he is on a poor isles team
15. Ales Hemsky - Best oiler from our silent decade
16. Antti Raanta - I remember watching him get a shutout when he was in arizona in person and ever since I loved the guy
17. Linus Ullmark - His first year in buffalo I knew hed be a starter, and a good one at that.
18. Mike McPhee - Slightly related to me
19. Dustin Penner - No real reasoning other than he is dustin penner
20. Cal Clutterbuck - Love the name, love the game he plays
21. Andreas Athanasiou - again sick name, and damn is he fast
22. Kaiden Guhle - this kid is gonna be a top 5 defenseman in the league mark my words
23. Mike Sillinger - Put some respect on the walking suitcase that is mike sillinger
24. Kyle Okoposo - Its Kyle okoposo
25. Alex Tuch - Underrated dude, liked him in vegas and ever since

i tried to keep it limited on GOATs because that would make up the whole list practically, i wanted to just show some appreciation the players i looked up to and remember from my past.
