So Rockets fans who is your favorite all-time Rocket?

I would have to say Travis Moen. The kid came to play night in and night out. Never took a shift off. The same style that has got him to the NHL level and made him an effective role player.

My pick would be Carsen Germyn. I loved watching him play. He had talent, a good shot and tough for his size. He backed down from nobody and played hard all the time.

As for my favorite CURRENT Rocket......Kyle Cumiskey! What a hell of a skater!

Ahh current is good too. I would have to say Brett Palin. Guy is a rock on D and a good leader and mentor for the young players on the team!

There have been so many, I can't decide between Parker and Cutter.

Other notiables, JD, Hannan, Moen, Germyn, Wade to name a few.

> :) So Rockets fans who is your favorite all-time Rocket?

Scott Parker......The fans used to laugh whenever he came onto the ice , in the beginning he could hardly skate, and couldnt fight. Skrlac used to openly taunt him until he finally broke Skrlacs jaw.....Look how far he's come since those days.

My second is Cutter, not only was he honest, he was a giant killer.
Who will ever forget the absolute pasting he unleashed (as a rookie) upon a much older and more experienced AJ Baines in the Loops.

Magic moments!

Current.......Comeau...LOL...Thats a bias of course....but in all seriousness...I'll have to say Current is Westy...

and of all time......hmmm

Mosie! How can anyone disagree that he has been the most inspirational player for this team of all time. Never quits, comes out every shift like it's his last, and holy **** can he move on the ice. Weaving in and out of players like a needle to fabric. Not to mention he is a Very well spoken person.

Notables: Cutter, Parker, Guard, McLeod, Shultz and Chucky Kobasew

Here is an idea for you all to ponder.... Let me know what you think.

Maybe I can do a fan poll type of thing here for fans favorite top 10 (or more) all-time Rockets. Like do a poll for #1, list off about 10 names, fans have say 3-4 days or whatever to vote, then close the poll and move on to #2.... what do you all think? his way we can get a nice list of everyones top 10 all time players.

My favorite would have to be Kiel Mcleod. I'll admit he didn't have the heart of a guy like Cutter, but when he decided to come and play I just loved to watch him. Huge punishing hits, and one of the hardest and quickest wrist shots I've seen since the Rockets have been here. When he brought his A game he looked like a man playing amongst boys.

A close second would be Cutter and Parker.

My all time favorite Rocket would be: a toss-up inbetween Travis Moen and Ryan Cuthbert.

My favorite CURRENT Rocket would be: hmmmm, Troy Bodie or Craig Cuthbert (I can't help but like a kid who is EXACTLY like his older brother! haha) :)

Kiel at times could dominate, but even now he isn't making a big name for himself in the AHL. Rumors still have it that his groin is a problem, just like it was a problem while he was sitting out for the Memorial Cup run a couple years ago.

He didn't miss the M-Cup run because because of a groin injury Jovo, he missed it because of Mono.....and thats the facts.
