Gaborik's Skating, Boogaard's Toughness Praised

CBC's Hockey Night in Canada and the NHLPA conducted a poll of NHL players on a variety of issues from best ice to which Canadian city deserves an NHL franchise and a few Rangers popped up as #1....

- Who is the toughest player? Derek Boogaard, New York Rangers, 23%

- Who is the best skater? Marian Gaborik, New York Rangers, 26%

- Who is the league's fastest skater? Marian Gaborik, Rangers, 37%

- Which coach demands the most of his players? John Tortorella, New York Rangers, 28%

...to me the best answer was that the Islanders (27%) were the team NHL players would least like to play for. Hilarious.
