Leon saying datsyuk makes so much sense. I’ve been saying they look alike on the ice, same paddle etc. and also they move with much control

I find it so cute how guentzy said crosby and now they play together on the first line

Every time an NHL player says Crosby was their favorite player when they were a kid, another hair falls out of my head.

Jaromír Jágr: "My favorite player growing up... was Jaromír Jágr"

Gallager got the chance to play against Martin St. Louis now he gets to play for him

Are we not going to talk about the fact that nhl players favorite player growing up was sidney Crosby because he was so good, and there now playing with him and hes still a top 3 player in the world...🤯

Jamie Benn: I didn’t have one, I just loved to watch games while eating my ketchup chips

God the Wings in the 90s were a trip man

Pavel Bure..hand down. Top 3 best pure goal scorer ever. Was poised to put up 700+ goals. Did most his work in the clutch and grab and dead puck eras. Lead the league in goals 4 times. Injuries plagued his longevity. But still he was the most electrifying player in nhl history

Brayden Point! So glad you guys brought him on!

Not really surprised to see Landeskog pick Forsberg, just with all the comparisons between them (Swedish, Avs players, skill and physical mix). My dad actually always says I play like him, which is funny because he loved Forsberg and I’m a big Landeskog fan.

Saku Koivu was the man when I was like 6 years old.🏆🏆🏆🏆

Gally's favourite player is now his coach. Nice.

We love puck personnality videos!!!

My favorite player growing up was definitely Datsyuk he was just so entertaining to watch

funny how martin is now coaching gally

Who loves watching these videos every week

Pavel Datsyuk

I love these puck personality videos!

these are the best!!!!!! thank NHL

Scheifele saying he had a poster of Joey Kocur was awesome! He is my all time favorite player and the reason I wear #26. I even have a few of his sticks and autographs and one time at a practice I even asked him to come to my birthday dinner haha.

I got 2, Pavel Datsyuk and Dominic Hasek. To this day i never seen a player with Datsyuk's all around game. Hasek was just incredible in net, jumping and flopping around the net stopping pucks, id always think ''How the hell he make that save? he was on his back''.

That was an awesome video. Thanks for doing this.

Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman, and Mark Messier. I wouldn't be the fan that I am today without mentioning Messier, and his "Guarantee" in 94'. Yzerman, because he was the heart of my Red Wings for so many years. Mario especially not only because of his talent level, but his over coming of all of the physical ailments that he endured off of the ice. I have the utmost respect for him.

This made me feel so old lol. Seems like just yesterday Crosby was a rookie.

Awesome that Gallagher said St. Louis and now he's being coached by him

Showing my age by saying Jean Pronovost, from when he was with the Penguins. As an adult, my favorite was Mario Lemieux.

Alexei Kovalev : "My favorite player growing up... was Alexei Kovalev #27.

Yvan cournoyer aka the roadrunner, was my all time great. Started watching him in the mid 60s when I was 7 years old with my dad. Best days of long ago. GO HABS GO!

Just for the record my favourite player, when I was getting into the NHL across the pond, is Mats Sundin, awesome!!

And Now Gally’s favourite player is his coach

I love these

I used love watching Jari Kerri. The 1 - 2 punch with W. Gretzky

Growing up I was an Avs fan, I actually loved Henrik Lunquivst and The Great Ovi. Watching every team regardless if I hate them and I still live by this. I’ll watch any team, any players. And I have lots of hero’s from teams. But Linquivst is my all time great besides Roy. Love the game of hockey 🙏

I’m honestly surprised nobody said Mario Lemieux

My favourite hockey player is Nail Yakupov

My favorite player growing up was Paul Kariya.

Al MacInnis! By far my favorite player when I was a kid.

Mike Bossy was my fave.

I really like how most of them name players from other teams. Seems so corny when they are just name dropping teammates. It just seems much more genuine and also makes it more interesting.

Jamie Benn: My favourite snack growing up was ketchup chips Reporter: Jamie we asked who your favourite player was

Peter Forsberg.

Has to be Martin Brodeur from NHL and Peter Bondra domestically (he had a great 14, maybe 15 year run with the Caps in NHL). I just remember, in every highlight video from my youth, there was at least once shouted BONDRA DAVA GOOOOOL (BONDRA SCOOOOORES!)

Ken Dryden. Just looked cool standing there with his stick under his chin. He wasn't trying to be cool, he was simply bored playing behind the late 70s Canadiens.

Imagine you're a kid from some obscure town in Sweden and your favorite player is Peter Forsberg and your favorite team is the Avalanche. And then someday, you're playing for that team and win a Stanley Cup with them. He's become a true Coloradan and supports the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies and has cheered and suffered with us. Lande's story is so wholesome. He will never play anywhere else either.

You know who it’s ma man Patrick Kane

Growing up and as a Canes fan my favourite player was Cam Ward, he’s a huge reason why I tend to root for goalies particularly.

this is very interesting cause this explains a lot about what type of player they are.

When I was really young, my favorite player was Ryan O'Reilly when he played for the Avs! Now its like Everyone on the Avs!!

Patrick Kane has always been my favorite player

Hansons dad was his hero.. Super holesome. It shows leadership is not always the best player in the room but, the most heart touching😁😁

Ooo Pointer!) First appearance here

Josh Manson knows what he's talking about. Dave Manson was a terrific hockey player, and he could really rack up the penalty minutes. Certainly one of the best heavyweights of the 80's and 90's, and as pointed out a terrific defenseman. And Seth Jones, I'm shocked it wasn't Adam Foote, Sandis Ozolinsh, Ray Bourque or even Joe Sakic for getting him into hockey considering he grew up an Avalanche fan.. No shame in Lidstrom tho, just odd to be a fan of one of your rivals - a heated rival none the less... As a Hawks fan I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do back in the Indian Head sweater.

Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Gil Perrault, Rick Martin, Wayne Gretsky, Tim Horton, Bobby Clarke, Danny Gare, and on and on...

I was a goalie growing up so patrick roy but favorite skater to watch was peter forsberg, he played so reckless and aggressive n with his talent made him the most entertaining to watch however due to it he was constantly injured n shortend his career but damn was he fun to watch when he did play.

Stan Makita. Hawks.

Peter Forsberg ! Love how he's on the thumbnail also.. such an all around player i wish he never got injured he had so much potential to break so many records.. phenomenal to watch on the ice.

Frank Mahovlich. Old leaf fan.

Goalie Eddie Giacomin of the New York Rangers. Was 12 when the NHL expanded in 1967. Origianlly was a Flyers fan. Moved to Upper New York State and watched the Rangers on TV.

Liked Joe Sakic and Forsberg, but Sakic a bit more. What a wristshot🤯🤯🤯

David Keon. One of the greatest ever.

Curtis Leschyshyn was mine. Stellar stay-at-home D-man and he has A on his chest when Avalanche won their first cup and was the second player to hoist the cup after Sakic.

I have that exact same Price poster

Weird but my favorite hockey player as a kid was goaltender Jacques Plante-he was the reason I wanted to be a goalie when I played.

When I was a kid it was all about lafleur and dryden. In my teens it was nuckles nilan.

Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are definitely my favorite players of all time!

Dammit Point, I didn't need more of a reason to like you. But liking Nazzy just put it over the top. He was my fav player when I first got into hockey (as a viewer, never played ice hockey myself), and to this day is still my fav hockey player ever. What a beauty. I have a soft spot in my heart for Swedes as a Canadian. Probably cause the Canucks love the Swedes. Nazzy, to Ohlund, to the Sedins, to Edler, to Petey, to Hoglander and the list goes on and on. Even had Sundin for a bit. I love the Swedes and how they play hockey. Also I'd be remiss if I didn't say Datsyuk was absolutely amazing to watch with and without the puck. He was a defensive nut and that sometimes gets forgotten behind the dangles.

Do a Puck Personality about favorite fruits and vegetables

Garry Unger 70s Blues. I had the blonde hair, I also had wide striped pants ( Ungers wardrobe - no surprise if hung out with Joe Namath) had his posters and even puzzle. We sucked but loved our Blues!

Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, but Ray Bourque will always be my favorite. Obviously an Avs fan, so naturally I hate the red wings, but I've got mad respect for Steve Yzerman and Pavel Datsyuk. But still, Bourque reigns Supreme

Mats Sundin was my favorite player!!

My favourites growing up was a triple duo on The Rangers. Brian Leetch, Mark Messier and Adam Graves. As i got older i probably say Henrik Lundquist. And then of course all the Swedish Legends

mid to late 60's Canadiens , starting with , Jean Beliveau , Yvan Cournoyer , Henry Richard , Jacques Lemaire , Jacques Laperriere , Serge Savard , Gump Worsley , Ken Dryden,John Furgeson etc..... greatest hockey team ever ... other great ones I liked , Gordie Howe, Alex Delvechio, Bobby Hull, Stan Makita, Jean Ratelle, Jacques Plante ,

For me it was Wayne until the 87 Canada Cup. Mario forever after that

Peter Forsberg 💪🚂🔥

Steve Yzerman my all-time fave player

my favorite player to watch growing up in the NHL is probably Marc-André Fleury amazing both on and off the ice.

Mats Naslund - Russ Courtnall - Parick Roy - Saku Koivu - Andre Markov - Shea Weber.

I’m surprised no one said Ovi

You are going to have different age group here, I am older but when I was very young my first fav player was Mike "Shakey" Walton on the Leafs, and then along comes Borje Salming. So I would pick him overall growing up

I'm so old it was Jean Beliveau.

This choice may not be obvious. I'm going with new York islander defenseman Dave Langevin. He was a big hitter that kept the crease cleared for resh and Smith.

I should be everyone’s favourite player.

max afinogenov is mine, absolute stud

Pointer😍

In My youth. Sitting in the Blue seats. Rod Gilbert and Eddie Giacomin.

Kronwall, Rob Blake, Scott Stevens, Al Macinnis, Bob Probert, Brett Hull, Jarome Iginla, Dominik Hasek Edit: Tony Twist and Vlad Konstantinov as well

Mark Recchi, from an Australian!

Sidney Crosby, dude is elite

My favourite player when I was a kid was Wayne Gretzky

The Great 8, Peter Bondra, Peter Forsberg, Nick Backstrom

Joey Coaster - Mark Scheifele

Kreider with hair frightens me

First, Davey Keon, then Daryl Sittler, and then Dougie Gilmour!

My is Connor McDavid and Cole Sillinger

It’s so cool how these nhl players who are kids idols are playing in the same league with people they still consider to be THEIR idols.

so ur telling me no one said "Ovechkin" 😐😐

Mine is Larry Robinson. Then again I am much older than those guys.

back in the day it was Steve Yzerman and Sergei Fedorov for me.

My favorite player Is Sidney Crosby
