    Bossy took faceoffs, played defense, a complete player. Ovie will stand around for a full two minutes on the power play while the rest of the team moves the puck and goes to the boards. One announcer stated, " I wish I had that job "...

    Slew, you make a great point. I used to watch a lot of NHL hockey. Most valuable players (IMHO) are the great two-way players. Guys who have an offensive punch but also gain the puck and are in good position defensively.

    I'll stick w/ just forwards for now. Some names that come to mind:
    *Peter Forsberg. One of my favorites. Great skill but also liked to hit.
    *Henrik Zetterburg. Good skill. But awesome on Penalty Kill with amazing endurance.
    *Jere Lehtinen. Always a great +/- player.
