25 Favorite American NHLers

This is something I did on tumblr when I had photoshop, before the trial expired. This is the list I made (keep in mind this was about a year ago, I perhaps would change a few players) (oh I also didn't include the obvious like Tim Thomas or anybody I had already named in my 25 favorites):

"Review of Literature Found in my Basement" Volume 1: "Hockey Now!", Part 1: Masked Marvels

Hockey Now! by Mike Leonetti with photography by Dan Hamilton. 1999, Buffalo, NY: Firefly Books Ltd.

1. Masked Marvels! - Top goalies
2. Rearguards! - Defensemen who are on the ice in all key situations
3. Blueline Attack! - Defenders who can lead the offense
4. Power Forwards! - Players willing to use their size and strength to get the puck
5. Play Makers! - softest hands in hockey
6. Snipers! - pure goal scorers
7. Hit Men! - players who change the course of a game with a crunching checkk
8. Young Guns! - new players with star potential

Can you guess the players that lead the league in each category 13 years ago?

The first chapter, Masked Marvels, looks at the 11 best goaltenders as of 1999 and is reviewed below.
