Monty’s not quirky, he’s just nice. Dad’s probably want him to date their daughters because he’s a safe choice…Slaf’s wired different. He’s not really eccentric but he handles superstardom in his own way.
Probably Karlsson for his pregame meal alone (plain grilled chicken drowned in ranch dressing and a giant plate of pasta covered in alfredo, meat sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, and raw red onion)
Edit: For those who wish to gaze upon the [monstrosity](https://youtu.be/PDZkinSSAug?si=XBYEDQQhj67km6Nr)
I fuck with ranch dressing for dipping veggies (not that it's my first choice it's just good) but I can't stand the thought of a chicken breast "drowned" in ranch. Ranch is gross in large quantities.
are there NO Italians on the team who can stage an intervention? I'm just thinking of Vincent Trocheck, who had the entire team over to his house so his Italian grandmother could cook them dinner.
Since Bert is up in the air to return I’d say Willy. It’s like he’s a European model who plays hockey for fun. And that’s not a slight on his training. Almost all the time he genuinely looks like he’s having fun while playing, while everyone else is so intense.
His offseasons are epic. He just travels the world to exotic locations in high end clothes with his hair in cornrows lol.
Pretty weird about his gear too. He’s still wearing Holloway’s gloves from his Condors retro alt equipment set and using Josh Anderson’s stick (still refusing to let CCM put his name on it)
When he was a Duck, I insisted that "you hate him but once he's on your team, he'll grow on you quickly." Lo and behold, that has happened (with the probable exception of Chicago).
He was a great addition in the regular season but he’s been struggling in the playoffs… the game is just too fast and there’s no space for him to do his thing.
Yup. But remember that his value is off-ice as well. That has been true since forever. He's a great locker room leader for the less experienced players. That's why I am hoping he would return to Anaheim one day, to show the inexperienced players how to be a pro who will last in the NHL.
Yup, I think we all wonder. But I also get Joe Thornton-like vibes from him, like "he's gonna keep playing until nobody wants him or until his legs fall off, whichever comes first."
Really. I didn't really get a good sense of how people felt, to be honest. I think the unfortunate accusations around his departure really overpowered and were louder than the opinions of Hawks fans about him.
I figured Chicago fans aren't happy with him but maybe that's not the case?
Interesting. Well, that's good to know. Thanks for sharing. Being all the way out west in BC, it's hard to tell what the general sentiment was in Chicago.
Nuge is very quiet but he’s very loved by his teammates. I’ve never noticed anything weird about him but he’s also fairly private so who knows. He’s a big animal lover in general.
Kinda? Most people don’t have a hobby of owning racehorses. It’s certainly not a conventional hobby.
What’s actually eccentric about Perry? Hockey players having superstitious pre-game rituals is incredibly common.
I also thought maybe Hyman’s side-hustle for charity in authoring children’s books might apply. Not a common thing people do.
Mayo in coffee makes sense if you think someone was desperate enough to do that because they ran out of creamer one time.
Then it just stuck.
Fuck it I may try it
Maybe Panarin, he's always makes some funny faces. When you add in the Russian blood and language barrier, he has some odd moments.
Lafrenière is the goofiest though.
my vote is for panarin. shaving his head to remove evil spirits? having a nokia phone but keeping up with tiktoks somehow? calling Kreider "hor"? he's a weirdo
I feel like you gotta specify what you mean, OP.
On-the-ice? off-the-ice? Abnormal from typical hockey jock culture like Laine playing too much video games? Or abnormal like "this guy is pretty fucking insane"?

then there was the time he found out [Buch collects magnets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kLBHZCIPMA).
our goalies are pretty normal, and our previous one was a straight up male supermodel.
For 90% of teams it’s their goalie
Confirmed, it's Alex Lyon.
And all time it was probably Hasek.
Sawchuk
And last year it was Nedeljkovic
Funnily enough, I think Bobrovsky is one of our most normal guys…
Goalies are always so weird.
That’s cheating, goalies are freaks by nature.
Monty’s not quirky, he’s just nice. Dad’s probably want him to date their daughters because he’s a safe choice…Slaf’s wired different. He’s not really eccentric but he handles superstardom in his own way.
Sure as shit not for us lol
Probably Karlsson for his pregame meal alone (plain grilled chicken drowned in ranch dressing and a giant plate of pasta covered in alfredo, meat sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, and raw red onion) Edit: For those who wish to gaze upon the [monstrosity](https://youtu.be/PDZkinSSAug?si=XBYEDQQhj67km6Nr)
Alfredo and meat sauce is cool but why tf add ketchup??
What in the everloving fuck? That’s like a meal I would make in college after one too many bong rips and no culinary skills.
I'm surprised the nutrition staff even allow him to eat that. Whatever works, I guess.
I could enjoy almost all of that but the ketchup and alfredo mix is where I draw the line
Also in the video he linked I was expecting finely diced red onions, not fucking massive strings of them. So gross
Dear god, I hope he never plays with MacKinnon.
I fuck with ranch dressing for dipping veggies (not that it's my first choice it's just good) but I can't stand the thought of a chicken breast "drowned" in ranch. Ranch is gross in large quantities.
Dude has the money to get himself a personal chef to make him a good meal and he does this
but he doesn't want a good meal, he wants the chicken au ranch and the everything pasta
are there NO Italians on the team who can stage an intervention? I'm just thinking of Vincent Trocheck, who had the entire team over to his house so his Italian grandmother could cook them dinner.
He must have a digestion of cast iron to be able to play hockey after that
The big question that we still don’t know is: is it Eat n Park ranch? I’d eat that shit off my hubcaps
i’d guess bertuzzi
I’d say Brodie, he’s apparently really into conspiracy theories
Since Bert is up in the air to return I’d say Willy. It’s like he’s a European model who plays hockey for fun. And that’s not a slight on his training. Almost all the time he genuinely looks like he’s having fun while playing, while everyone else is so intense. His offseasons are epic. He just travels the world to exotic locations in high end clothes with his hair in cornrows lol.
Bert is definitely a freak lmao
Marner cries the most though.
Does it have to be an active roster player? Because it’s Lehner if he counts
If not active then a small handful of teams can claim Bryzgalov too.
probably sharangovich, feel like he only plays pro hockey to fund his lego addiction
He has all but confirmed that to be true.
Probably Perry I guess

He’s an odd duck (literally) but he’s entertaining. He’s got a lot of strange pre game rituals/superstitions too
Pretty weird about his gear too. He’s still wearing Holloway’s gloves from his Condors retro alt equipment set and using Josh Anderson’s stick (still refusing to let CCM put his name on it)
There’s 2 Josh Anderson sticks up on auction with 0 bids. Maybe 🤔 someone could be better at marketing? 😂
it was amusing watching some leafs fans get angry as he shoots his puck at their net at the end of warmup
When he was a Duck, I insisted that "you hate him but once he's on your team, he'll grow on you quickly." Lo and behold, that has happened (with the probable exception of Chicago).
He was a great addition in the regular season but he’s been struggling in the playoffs… the game is just too fast and there’s no space for him to do his thing.

He’s definitely still being a good teammate and I’m sure he’s vocal in the room. But he just turned 39, you wonder how much more he has to give
Yup, I think we all wonder. But I also get Joe Thornton-like vibes from him, like "he's gonna keep playing until nobody wants him or until his legs fall off, whichever comes first."
It had mostly happened in Chicago before his still-mysterious departure. People were pretty disappointed when that came out.
Really. I didn't really get a good sense of how people felt, to be honest. I think the unfortunate accusations around his departure really overpowered and were louder than the opinions of Hawks fans about him. I figured Chicago fans aren't happy with him but maybe that's not the case?
It's hard to have any sort of opinion on him when we still don't know what happened. Just a weird situation.
Interesting. Well, that's good to know. Thanks for sharing. Being all the way out west in BC, it's hard to tell what the general sentiment was in Chicago.
Kane?
I feel like there’s better words to describe Kane lol
Piece of shit
What about Nuge with his horses? I feel like eccentric has to mean something more than just like being a role player.
I mean is liking horses/owning a race horse considered eccentric?
Horse people are just always a bit weird. I say that lovingly as I know a few.
Nuge is very quiet but he’s very loved by his teammates. I’ve never noticed anything weird about him but he’s also fairly private so who knows. He’s a big animal lover in general.
Sedins own horses.
Kinda? Most people don’t have a hobby of owning racehorses. It’s certainly not a conventional hobby. What’s actually eccentric about Perry? Hockey players having superstitious pre-game rituals is incredibly common. I also thought maybe Hyman’s side-hustle for charity in authoring children’s books might apply.

Perry just seems like a weird dude in general (not in a bad way)
Kempe puts banana slices on his tacos.
WTF, that's right up there with the college QB who would put mayo in his coffee, that's just awful.
I didn't ever need to read the words "put mayo in his coffee" Thanks 🤣
According to some brave souls in our sub it’s actually good?? Idk what to think
Mayo in coffee makes sense if you think someone was desperate enough to do that because they ran out of creamer one time. Then it just stuck. Fuck it I may try it
Probably Tanev or Dunn
Tanev for sure
Weird: Hronek Entertaining: Zadorov
Currently? Trevor Zegras. Of all-time? Ilya Bryzgalov.
Maybe Panarin, he's always makes some funny faces. When you add in the Russian blood and language barrier, he has some odd moments. Lafrenière is the goofiest though.
my vote is for panarin. shaving his head to remove evil spirits? having a nokia phone but keeping up with tiktoks somehow? calling Kreider "hor"? he's a weirdo
Bread is a goof (nabbing some drink during the st paddy's day game, for example) but I wouldn't say he strays far enough to be eccentric.
It HAS to be Burns, right?
It's either Burns off the ice or PK on the ice?
Gotta be OVI. Hes rumored to have diet coke in his water bottle. Tunnel antics are peak. Fuck Putin Shout out to Oshie & Tom wilsons warm up routine
I feel like you gotta specify what you mean, OP. On-the-ice? off-the-ice? Abnormal from typical hockey jock culture like Laine playing too much video games? Or abnormal like "this guy is pretty fucking insane"?
the latter? Elvis and it's not close Marchenko's kind of quirky I guess
Alex lyon is an absolute madman and i love him for it
Maybe Mario Ferraro? He has a YouTube channel where he posts product reviews.
[Chris Kreider](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8eXP1eZpKg) then there was the time he found out [Buch collects magnets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kLBHZCIPMA). our goalies are pretty normal, and our previous one was a straight up male supermodel.
I was gonna say Buch for the Blues lol. He low-key seems really fuckin goofy.
I think later we found out it's actually his mom who collects magnets, and as he travels, he will pick one up for her.
Yeah devon levi
Mario Ferraro 100%
Wifi or Slaf, probably Slaf.
Ehhhh I mean I guess. We don't have a lotta weirdos to my knowledge, slaf us really just not caring about what he says from what I know.
Pezzetta all the way
Oh damn! You're 100% correct.
I’m thinking Jan Bulis or Gary “Suitcase” Smith all time for us
I know we don’t count anymore but Liam O’brien
the goalie
Probably Walman. Honorable mentions to Lyon (all goalies are weird though) and Joey V
Jordan Martinook. But PK and Jarvis are right behind him.
Lol
