Hockey Player

The Resume

    (May 20, 1983- )
    Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
    Drafted 10th overall by the New York Rangers in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft
    Goaltender for the New York Rangers (2001-04)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was rushed into the NHL spotlight months after being drafted.
    Many pundits felt that he should have spent the 2001-02 season starting with his junior team instead of being a backup goalie in the NHL.
    He burned out midway through his sophomore season (2002-03).
    He jeopardized his playing career following a weight room accident.
    He attempted to bench far more then he could handle, which caused him permanent nerve damage in his catching shoulder.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a standout goaltender in the Western Hockey League.
    Despite being born in Montreal, he grew up in a small resort town west of Calgary.
    He earned All-Rookie Team honors (2002).
    He attempted a comeback in the minor leagues using two blockers instead of the blocker/catcher after the injury made his catching hand useless.
    After announcing his retirement at 22, he earned a college degree in business management.
