For the Blackhawks, you could also argue Kane or Toews or Sharp, but Hossa certainly isn't a wrong answer.

For the Oilers, maybe in the past two games I'd say Gagner, but otherwise it's probably been Jordan Eberle or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who just came back from injury.

Otherwise, those are pretty much on.

Injuries suck. I want McDonald back. I haven't actually gotten to see him play yet, but people say he's pretty good at hitting the damn net, which is a big problem with our team right now. Steen too. Damn concussions. But I've seen Steen play. I can't wait to see AMac.

But what about the other teams I didn't mention? Who would you say are their best players?

I don't know about Toews over Hossa, it's close.

As for Eberle over Gagner... Well, Eberle obviously has more points and everything, but with how good Gagner has been these past couple games, you'd think he's on the rise to being the best they have.

No, Hossa most definitely is a wrong answer. Toews > Kane > Hossa. The fact that Hossa has, for basically the first time in his career, managed to go more than a year without suffering some huge injury shouldn't erase the fact that at any given moment, he could and probably will miss 60 games.

I know it always used to be white jerseys at home, and I remember when it switched, but honestly the dark jerseys at home makes more sense. They're more unique and personalized to the team. I like them more overall.

I think the standard now is dark jerseys at home, but if the teams agree to do it the other way around they can. Or something like that. I remember a game or two last year the Wings wore white at home and the Blues wore their dark blue third jerseys on the road.

There are a few teams who occasionally bust out the whites at home. In the past few years, I've seen it rarely with the Wings, Leafs, and Rangers.

Well we haven't scored a 5 on 5 goal in 7 periods and our PP is an absolute joke soooo that isn't likely.

Plus Carkner, Cowen, Gonchar, and Phillips all suck now.

And Anderson always lets in at least one incredibly soft goal.

I brought up the "best player of each team" thing on the Hockey Future boards and of course there are varying opinions. So here's what I've pretty much gathered.

Anaheim Ducks - Getzlaf/Perry
Boston Bruins - Chara (Thomas when counting goalies)
Buffalo Sabres - Pominville/Vanek
Calgary Flames - Iginla
Carolina Hurricanes - Staal
Chicago Blackhawks - Toews/Hossa
Colorado Avalanche - Duchene/Stastny
Columbus Blue Jackets - Nash
Dallas Stars - Benn/Eriksson
Detroit Red Wings - Datsyuk
Edmonton Oilers - Eberle/Gagner/Hall
Florida Panthers - Versteeg/Campbell
Los Angeles Kings - Kopitar
Minnesota Wild - Koivu
Montreal Canadiens - Pacioretty (Price when counting goalies)
Nashville Predators - Weber (Rinne when counting goalies)
New Jersey Devils - Parise/Kovalchuk
NY Islanders - Tavares
NY Rangers - Gaborik (Lundqvist when counting goalies)
Ottawa Senators - Karlsson/Spezza
Philadelphia Flyers - Giroux
Phoenix Coyotes - Doan/Yandle
Pittsburgh Penguins - Malkin/Crosby
San Jose Sharks - Couture/Thornton
St. Louis Blues - Pietrangelo/Backes (everyone but Blues fans said Backes, whereas all Blues fans say Pietro)
Tampa Bay Lightning - Stamkos
Toronto Maple Leafs - Kessel/Phaneuf
Vancouver Canucks - D. Sedin/H. Sedin
Washington Capitals - Ovechkin
Winnipeg Jets - Kane/Byufglien

This seems to be the most solid I could get the list.
