Hockey Player

The Resume

    (February 11, 1985- )
    Born in Kenora, Ontario, Canada
    Drafted 24th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft
    Forward for the Philadelphia Flyers (2005-11) and the Los Angeles Kings

Why he might be annoying:

    He shares his birth name with Kramer of 'Seinfeld' fame.
    He is extremely injury prone.
    Some hockey pundits felt he was too immature to be a team captain.
    He has an extremely frosty relationship with the Philadelphia media.
    He went against tradition and touched the Prince of Wales Trophy and hoisted it over his head (2010).
    He sparked a controversy after he delivered a vicious open-ice cross-check to the head of an opposing player.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was part of a deep 2003 first round draft class.
    He scored a goal in his first NHL game (2005).
    He emerged as a leader with the Flyers and earned a long-term contract extension, which basically would keep him with the team until retirement.
    He is the second player in NHL history to score his first NHL playoff goal on a penalty shot.
    Defying critics, he guided the Flyers to a playoff spot on the final day of the season and an improbable run to the Stanley Cup Finals (2010).
    He was a member of Canada's Gold Medal winning men's Olympic hockey team (2010).
