Team: Winnipeg Jets
Uniform Number: 72
Position: Offense-minded d-man, PP quarterback
Nickname: teammates would decide, but considering my last name it’d almost assuredly be “Sparky”
Dream Linemate: Scott Stevens
Rounding out the PP: Mario Lemieux/Wayne Gretzky, Mike Bossy, Brendan Shanahan, Martin Brodeur
Job: fly through the air with the greatest of ease
Signature Move: meh. I’d think good players work, they don’t rely on a trick or two
Strengths: creative passing, positional play, anticipation
Weaknessess: not overly tough, mediocre slapper, unexceptional dressing room presence
Injury Problems? back, wrists
Equipment: Cooperalls
Nemeses: Martin St. Louis, Gary Bettman
Scandal Involvement: Dumping Denise Richards for Jennifer Connelly
Who I’d face in the Stanley Cup Finals: New York Rangers
What I’d do with the Stanley Cup after our victory: Take it with me camping in Northern Ontario, drink a few Labatt 50’s out of it, fall asleep beside it with Loons crying on the lake. (Why are you looking at me like that?)
Would the media love me or hate me? Depends: Does the media like cliches? That’d be me I’m afraid.
