It's that time of year when People Magazine puts out the Sexiest Man Alive issue. Per usual, they dropped the ball & failed to include any hockey players. It was not easy but here is a list of the top 10 hockey players who should be in the Sexiest Man Alive issue.
Please let us know what your list would look like.
Stick tap to Jennifer for all her help :D!
1. Shea Weber
What's not to love about the Sicamous, British Columbia native. He's an Olympic gold medalist & captain of his team. His dimples as well as his slapshot can stop traffic. He also grows a beard that makes Billy Gibbons envious. That's what makes Shea the complete package & sexiest hockey man alive.
2. Zach Parise
WARNING: This quintessential All-American boy's dreamy eyes & adorable grin may cause uncontrollable giggling. Teehee, hee, hee.
3. Henrik Lundqvist
The New York Rangers goalie with his signature coif, impeccable style, & brilliant smile causes people to swoon wherever he goes.
4a. Niklas Lidstrom
The 40 year old Swede is tall, talented, humble, & gorgeous. He's the Perfect Human
4b. Loui Eriksson
The 26 year old Swede is tall, talented, humble, & gorgeous. He's the Perfect Human in Training.
5. Vinny Lecavalier
Parlez-vous francais? The captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning does, much to the delight of his fans. It's just one of the many reasons to love the multi-talented 31 year old.
6. Kris Versteeg
Sometimes being sexy is all in the attitude & Versteeg has plenty of it. The 5'10 winger earned the nickname 'Verbeauty' because of his witty since of humor & singing/rapping abilities. His killer baby blues & golden mane don't hurt matters either.
7. Marian Hossa
It may have taken The Slovakian God a little longer than expected to reach the pinnacle. With his fantastic skating ability, soft hands, & winning smile he was finally able to raise hockey's Holy Grail in 2010.
8. Vladimir Sobotka
With filthy stick work, a scoring touch, & such a pretty, pretty face it won't take long before the 23 year old Czech is a house hold name.
9. The Staal boys
Whether they're winning Olympic gold (like Eric), being nominated for the Selke (like Jordan), being a defensive stud (like Marc), or just being delightfully ginger (like Tito). These Thunder Bay, Ontario natives offer a little something for everyone.
10. Tyler Seguin
The 6'1 Brampton, Ontario native, known league wide as Bob, has already accomplished so much in his short career. He was the second overall pick in the 2010 draft and won the Stanley Cup in his rookie season. Which makes me believe this cutie, with washboard abs, is sure to be breaking hearts for years to come.

Um, no.
Why is Tyler Seguin known as Bob?
I feel like Patrick Sharp deserves a mention in this post. Other than that I love it!
where's Sid????
The Perfect Human is actually 41! I cannot reveal why I have this knowledge immediately at my fingertips.
I don't agree with all the choices but I am down with the Weber and the Lidstrom and you KNOW how I feel about my Hot Thunder Bay Man Meat. OMG I got to see Jordan Staal up fairly close a couple of weeks ago and OMG. I can't stop saying OMG. And when it was Eric in faceoffs with Jordan? O-M-G. This just made my Jordan Staal problem 100% worse seeing him in person.
My list would have Duncan Keith. I think Patrick Sharp is a gimme. But Duncs. Oh yeah.
@Esbee oh sweet jesus, I have a serious Staal problem too.
This made my mojito hangover so much sweeter... although I'd swap Hossa and Verbeauts out for either JToews and Hjalmarsson (bit of Swede love).
Also WHY is Seggers known as Bob?
James Neal???
@India--credit MG for the mantle of Bob on our young Baby Ty Ty...she usually refers to players with unusually twee names as Bob to encourage them to man up. No problems there with the manliness as we've seen.
Also, Taser cannot be referred to as sexy because his mom would be disappointed in him. And after being in a hotel lobby with Hossa (alone) I can guarantee you sex drips from every pore. It radiates off of him.
@Esbee--the Staals do absolutely nada for me. But luckily we have a man buffet...some people like chicken, some like spaghetti.
SHEA.
MAN BUFFET. That is the best phrase I have ever heard. Now let me get a clean plate. I am going back for more.
May I please have a heaping plate of Ryan Kesler? I don't know what it is, but IT IS.
@Esbee - I'll second your Duncan Keith, as long as his teeth are in!
EXACTLY Duncan Teeth only.
Keith is a beautiful hunk of man! But he does have the dubious ability to look like a meth dealer from the boondocks. But other than that, he is wonderful.
Um, and if this is a Man Buffet I am hitting it up like its the Golden Corral. And I'm bringing a BIG appetite ;)
Outstanding list, ladies! Particularly and ex-specially your numero uno pick. My Sheanene always comes out on top, even when he's getting to the bottom of some a-hole clogging up Peks' crease. And yes, I just said that and agree that it kinda sounded like a cable TV description for a cheesy budget porno along the lines of "Bite Sized Boobies" or "Teeny Bikini Bang"... But I digress...
I would have swapped out LeCavalier for Sharpie and Hossa for Duncs. But that's neither here nor there. Ain't gonna quibble over here!
And yes thank you Jennifer for the Bob clarification. If your name is Tyler, Craig, Ashley, Magnus, D'Wonwon, Donna, Sharon, Morgan, P'Nina and/or if your first name is also a last name and you happen to have a HYPHEN in your name (that includes you Swedes, as well)...
Your name can and will be changed to BOB. Period. It's about being hockey and being rock and bringing it. Mostly, though, it's about taking pity on your poor public address announcers who have to fricking say fey names like "CRAIG" (when it sounds like "EGG") and "OSKARR-ICKYMANN-LARSSON" I mean seriously people. Give us this day, our daily Bob. Doug. Gordie. Danny. Let's do this.
I think you need to have this "issue" more often than once a year. Or maybe a top 20? Ten does not, in any way, shape or form, begin to even touch on the depth of sexiness to be found in hockey.
Btw - why no Patrice Bergeron? And where is Max Talbot? I know he's a Flyer now, but how could you possibly leave him off this list? Sobotka is ok, but I think there are many players far sexier. Clearly Sharpie if no-one else!
Versteeg, Hossa and Sobotka out; Toews, James Neal and Patrice Bergeron in. There. Problem solved. (Slightly hesitant about the non-King-Hank-Swedes, but I let them slide)
@scarlett HA! Yes I can see the Duncan Keith sexy beast or country meth manufacturer! You decide.
The other day I had a Staal discussion where I had my dad schooling me on who the best looking was. My life is weird.
I can't believe I forgot to commend you guys on how utterly CREEPY the photos are here, as well. Most of the choices are right on point, but the photos are crazy creepy and almost Chester Molester at times.
Makes this piece even better, I say!!!!
