Jussi Markkanen and Jamie McLennan

Jussi Markkanen and Jamie McLennan have both decided to leave the NHL and head on over to play some international hockey. Markkanen has signed with Jokerit of the Finnish Elite League. It's a one year deal. Jordi is already in mourning and to be honest...I can't blame her. Jussi was a great goaltender and seemed fairly happy in Edmonton. Jamie McLennan who is probably best remembered for his 18 second appearance in the playoffs...has signed in Russia.

"It was always in the back of my mind that it would be interesting to play overseas near the end of my career," said McLennan via e-mail, "so, when the opportunity was there, I looked at it."

I always liked McLennan he's never really played too awfully much and was quite the floater here in the NHL but he was at least good for a laugh...

Western Conference All-Star Squee Team!

While one could argue that the Oilers are the sexiest team in the league..I am pretty sure I could make a sexier one.

GOALIE - Jussi Markkanen yeah, I had to go with the Oilers backup. He is one of the sexiest goalies in the league. And, I am pretty sure my mom would kill me if I didn't choose him.

DEFENSEMEN - John-Michael Liles, from the Colorado Avalanche...seriously this guy is a beauty. Sure he may not be the best defenseman in the league, but he is decent offensively and he is great to look at on the ice. Rusty Klesla come on, I HAD to choose ond of my boys...can you blame me?! I mean seriously. I love seeing this guy and his eyes are GORGEOUS!! And, even though I witnessed his little diva moment in the locker room...I am ok with that. I still love him!

CENTER - Craig Conroy I have a thing for older guys I'm not going to lie and I am a total sucker for his adorable smile.


LEFT WING - Jeff Cowan come on girls throw their BRA'S at the guy...how can you not love the guy.

RIGHT WING - Patrick Sharp seriously, this guy is great. He is pleasing to the eye...and just because he is on the Blackhawks doesn't mean I can't think he is hot...right?!
