Poll Question:
Who is the best player to screen and bug the goalie?
And why?

| Holmstrom wins by a smige over Smyth, I just think he does it a little more effective. |

| Tomas Holmstorm lives in front of the net! Nothing stops him, what an under rated player. |

| Holmstrom. He practically spends the whole game in front of the net. Definitely an annoyance to goalies. |

| This is Smytty's raison d'etre. He'd be unheardof if he was not the best at it. Holmstrom does it well for a Euro, but, HEY!, It's a Canadian game, and nobody does it better. |

| I would have to say Ryan Smyth, when ever I'm playing hockey, if someone is infront of the net bugging our goalie we call it the Smyth. |

The only reason that Holmstrom is getting vote on here is that he is playing right now and Smyth is not. There is not a player in the game that even comes close to Smyth in front of the net. If you took that away from Smyth's game, he's not even an AHL player.
This is Smyth by a landslide. Huge Landslide.
I Love your Kids, IHC is the man, and The Oilers Rule. Does that make me insane?? |

I think Holmstrom just because he has a bit more size than Smyth. Smyth does create more traffic than Holmstrom though.
Forecheck+Backcheck= Paycheck!!! |

Well, if your going for size, why not pick Chara? |

If you're talking about deflecting and screening shots, then smyth and holmstrom are way above everyone else. But goalies are pretty big targets for trash-talkers, I've heard that Sean Avery can be a real pest to goalies (well he is to everyone)
