[Winged_Wheel88]

I did mine slightly differently:

King - Lidstrom (For obvious reasons)
Queen - Karen Newman (Our National Anthem singer, tho I personally can't stand her)
Rook - Helm (For his ability to zoom down the flanks)
Rook - Mursak (See above)
Bishop - Datsyuk (For his ability to zig-zag)
Bishop - Zetterberg (see above)
Knight - Kronwall (for his ability to deliver hits by leaving his feet)
Knight - Howard (for his ability to leap out of crease and beat the fuck out of someone)
Pawn - Cleary (Finally we get to the pawns...the grinders of the game)
Pawn - Miller
Pawn - Eaves
Pawn - Abdelkader
Pawn - Emmerton
Pawn - Filp
Pawn - Huds (Check....Swede...)
Pawn - Holmstrom

Also, here's an awesome Red Wings commercial:


(For those who do not know, Hudler is from the Czech Republic.)

 

[ritari330]

Caps-(baised on their abilities and how the chess peices can move)

King-Laich (Can do everything a little bit)
Queen-OV (Can do a whole lot but ultimately gets used poorly)
Rook-Carlson (defensive peice that can attack, top defensive pairing that can attack)
Rook-Alzner ( ^^)
Bishop-Backstrom (The peice no one sees and can help set up other peices)
Bishop-Johonnson (Quite a bit of potential but hasn't quite lived up to it yet)
Knight-Green (The Knight that you use early and then you lose for the rest of the game )
Knight-Wideman (The Knight you use 2nd once your first knight has been captured (by injury)
Pawn-Chimera (The pawn that will end up taking a Rook or a Bishop)
Pawn-Orlov (The pawn that you end up exchanging for a better peice once it reaches the other side of the board)
Pawn-Perreault (The pawn you use first that ends up being taken early)
Pawn-Knuble ( has the ability to do more, yet he is only a pawn)
Pawn-Semin (Tons of ability if he can ever get to the otherside and become a queen, but he always ends up doing something stupid, you'd gladly trade him for a Bishop)
Pawn-Hendricks (sacraficial pawn used to set up the other pawns moves)
Pawn-Ward (the Pawn that isn't moved for 80% of the game, but can be sneaky and take a peice or two)
Pawn-Erskine (The pawn that isn't moved unless absolutely necessary)

Scratches (Halpern, Hamrlik, Schultz)

[Slimpikins]

Bishop: Pavelski (sniper)
Knight: Boyle (versitile)

I didn't want to put Handzus as a pawn but I couldn't really bump any one from their spots either. So he is in limbo for now.

 

[forty_three]

The Blue Jackets would all be checkers.

 

[filosofy29]

Sharks

King: D. Murray (doesn't move well, but takes out anything within a space from him)
Queen: Couture (Probably the most important piece for the Sharks right now and has the most well-rounded out game)
Rook: Marleau (Very fast and good in straight lines, can take it coast to coast)
Rook: Burns (Can go coast to coast)
Bishop: Havlat (Very slippery East West game).....piece sometimes inexplicably breaks.
Bishop: Boyle (Very slippery East West game)
Knight: Thornton (takes two steps forward in the regular season then jumps over to the side in the playoffs)
Knight: Clowe (versatile, tough and more important piece than he seems)
Pawn: Vlasic (will be upgraded once he reaches the end of the board)
Pawn: White
Pawn: Desjardins
Pawn: A. Murray
Pawn: Vandermeer
Pawn: Winchester
Pawn: McGinn
Pawn: Mitchell

Using Ritari's methodology. Some important pieces left off, but where does a Goalie fit in?

 

[Automattic]

Yes, that is correct. They were all chess pieces last night. Not one of them would move on their own...

 

[IPostedWhat]

Queen: The entire Buffalo Sabres team
Knight: Milan Lucic
Bishop: Sheriff Shanahan
Pawns: The rest of the NHL


Knight jumps Queen! Bishop jumps Queen! Pawns jump Queen!
