Jody Shelley -- Journeyman enforcer. 30 fights in the 2003-4 season. The man with the windblown face. Came to the Rangers and made a difference, but not enough of one, at the end of the 2009-10 season. Quiet and well-spoken in post-game interviews.
Alexander Ovechkin -- Possibly the best hockey player in the world right now. Maybe even better than Sid. Reckless. Out of control. Nearly unstoppable, but starting to get a rep as a cheapshot artist. I'm still pissed at him for that knee-on-knee mugging he perpetrated on Sergei Gonchar last year.
Evgeni Malkin -- Jane's favorite intermission interview quote from Geno, "I'm play one-timer and goalie not see puck and I score." Okay, I'll confess this was really an excuse to post another picture of Jordan Staal and his overbite. And don't let me get started on the dimple in his chin.
Tahir "Tie" Domi -- 5'10" of pure terror. Once beat up a heckling fan who fell into the penalty box, which earned him a fine, but not a suspension, from the NHL. Don't you love the NHL?
Mike Ricci -- What can you say? This is quite possibly the ugliest man who ever played hockey. Geddy Lee doppelganger.
Ken Daneyko -- "Mr. Devil" played 19 seasons in New Jersey. My personal favorite color analyst on MSG, but then again, I've always had a soft spot for broke-down defensemen with a history of alcohol problems. Daneyko cleans up nicely, and looks pretty cute with his teeth in.
Colton Orr -- To quote DownGoesBrown, if you value your hide, never, EVER, look Colton Orr directly in the eye.
Stu Grimson -- aka "The Grim Reaper." 'Nuff said.
Bob Probert -- One half of the "Bruise Brothers." One of the baddest motherfuckers to ever lace up skates. If you knew Probert was coming, the only recourse was turtling.
I couldn't find scary pictures of Dave Semenko or Marty McSorley, but trust me, they were Gretzky's assassins, and you did NOT want to mix it up with them. Also, Joey Kocur, the other Bruise Brother. For some reason, no scary photos of him, either.
