Our All-Star picks

By S(h)ara and Anne

(but typed by Anne)

Sabretooth's House is pleased to bring you the result of hours of debate and investigation on our own All-Star roster. We've scoured the Eastern Conference, plodded our way through the West. Examining roster photo after roster photo, delving deeper into our investigation so ascertain the most important questions of them all:

Which players would be selected on teams of All-Star Hottness?

S(h)ara and Anne began their tireless search to answer this question that has plagued both woman and man kind since the beginning of the 2007-2008 season. After hours of pouring over photos and searching out evidence to make our case, we feel we have put together 2 rosters that exude a level of sexiness and lovability that surpasses the rest of the players in the NHL.

Stats and skills? Psh, we disregard those here. True, some of these men have both stolen our hearts and some scoring titles along the way, but that is serendipity and nothing more. We've been forced to look away from favorites who are, shall we say, less than aesthetically pleasing in favor of the pure raw, animal sexiness of their teammates.

Here we are pleased to bring you the Starting Line-ups in the East and West teams of Hottness:


The Honor of Hottest Left Winger in the East goes to:

Mr. Chrisopher Higgins of the Montreal Canadiens


Chris Higgins teaches children about computers



Then shows off his badass tattoo and killer quads in the weight room


The honor of sexiest Center in the Eastern Conference goes to:

One Mr. Vincent Lecavalier of the Tampa Bay Lighting:


Enjoy your time on the Throne, King Vinny


Close your eyes, open your arms, and I'll give you biiiiiig hug


Filling out the line as Hottest Right Winger in the Eastern Conference is:


Patrick Eaves of the Ottawa Senators


Yes Patrick, you made the right choice in turning pro, that way you could be on this All-Star Roster


The quirky cuteness of this photo went a long way toward your selection

On to the blue liners.

We are VERY excited to announce that one of our own:

Mr. Nathan "Ol' Blue Eyes" Paestch was selected as one of our Defensemen:


Oh Patches, you're just so darn cute!


I mean, come on! Can you resist?


Boy even has a cute roster photo


Finally, covering the blue line with Mr. Paetsch is:

Mr. Ivan Baranka

What's that you say? He plays for Hartford? He's not in the NHL?"


That's right. 1 game still counts.


Don't fight it, just enjoy


Finally, the sexiest netminder in the East (and, in Anne's opinion, the entire NHL, nay the entire world) is:
Mr. Ricky DiPietro


Even this crappy cell phone style photo can't hide the sexy


You sign that long term contract, Ricky


Here's Ricky composing a handwritten sonnet for Anne, how sweet

Phew. That was quite the endeavor. We have to do some honorable mentions. Those who came this close, but one of those boys just beat them out.

We have:


Zach "Staffy's BFFL" Parise


Buffalo's favorite bird: Paul "Goose" Gaustad

There were others, but there is a plethora of hot forwards in the Eastern Conference.

Onto the West

The hottest Left Winger in the West was a contested battle, but in the end the winner is:

Former Buffalo Sabre: Taylor Pyatt, now of the Vancouver Canucks


Admire the sexy badassedness as TayPie beats the snot out of a Blackhawk


TayPie is economical and gives his teammates a ride home

I didn't crop this photo because I want everyone to see that that is TimmyHo with hair in the passenger seat.

Moving down the line. Hottest Center in the West is:

Mr. Joseph Thornton of the San Jose Sharks

This selection was heavily debated as it was finally established that just because Anne loves Ryan Getzlaf an inordinate amount and he's funny does not make him hotter than Joey and she was forced to concede.


Smile pretty, Thorns!


Thorns doesn't just listen, he LISTENS.


Can many men wear a possibly baby blue grey sweatshirt? Thorns can

Covering the Right Wing for the West is:

Martin Havlat of the Chicago Blackhawks

(One must look past his roster photo to fully appreciate)


Marty really likes the team's new jerseys


Even in the off-season, Marty sexes it up with his athleticism

And, one of our beloved Easterners is now a Westerner and makes this roster as a hot D-man:

Sheldon Souray of the Edmonton Oilers


The pink shirt, the bedroom eyes... le swoon


Supermodel? Soap Star? Sheldon Souray

His partner in defensive sexiness is:

Ryan Caldwell of the Phoenix Coyotes

(Ok, much like Ivan Baranka, Caldy actually plays in the AHL with Syracuse, but he's played 2 NHL games, twice as many as Baranka)


Hee! Look at the smile. He looks like Anne's friend Jack. That's probably why we think he's cute


Here's little Ryan when he was in college, giving a jersey to the commander in chief

And finally, between the pipes we have:

Thomas Greiss of the San Jose Sharks


He was even a shark in Germany! Fate
(Kölner Haie means Cologne Sharks)


German, Canadian, American - all that matters is if yous is hot

Honorable Mentions:

(Anne's personal favorite)
Ryan Getzlaf


Getzy carries the cup through London


Eric "Yes I used to be an Islander" Godard of the Calgary Flames

That's all folks. This took way too long. But Anne would give her left leg to see these teams play each other. S(h)ara would give a limb as well. Sigh.

  1. Wow. Well done girls! It's always good to find NHL hotties I didn't know about! (Hellooooo, Mr. Greiss. And he's German, too? Bonus!)

    Oh, Pyatt. My first hockey crush. Sometimes I miss him. (What can I say? I like them pretty.)

    I have to disagree with your choice for East goalie, though. I'll admit that Pretty Ricky sure is, well, pretty, but Biron was ROBBED! He will always be the hottest goalie there is, at least in my book.

  2. I knew there would be some contention over these selections, haha.

    I did consider Marty. But I wasn't sure:

    Do I love Marty because he's hot, or is Marty hot because I love him?

  3. I do love Marty, but Anne won me over with Mr. Dipietro. I could not deny his hotness.
