His diminutive stature was a problem, of course. Players who are 5-foot-9 generally need to work that much harder for their spot. He has also had to battle the ‘injury-prone’ label.

At every position there are players that immediately come to mind as a poolie’s dream. Left wing: Alex Ovechkin. Center: Sidney Crosby. Right Wing: Jaromir Jagr. Goaltender: Martin Brodeur.

By Darryl Dobbs - also posted by Dobber's affiliates. A month ago, the Blackhawks seemed to have everything under control again. Injured players were filing back into the lineup and the team was winning games. One 0-8-2 run later and the team seems to be in trouble.
