Unsung Hottie - Mark Eaton

This one comes by request (anything for my readers)!!

You don't hear alot about Mark Eaton let alone that he's a hottie, but I guess that would make him "unsung" in alot of different aspects since he's an important part of
the team's system (even though he's been a healthy scratch the last few games).

One of the things I like alot about Eaton is that he's American. There aren't many of them in the NHL, so they're automatically a favorite of mine if they've been born and raised in the good ol' USA!! He's from Wilmington, Delaware and played hockey for one season at the University of Notre Dame.

He's a gentleman and won an award for playing as such during his 1996-1997 season in the USHL by winning the Curt Hammer Award for most gentlemanly play. I believe he's married and has 2 kids (4 and 7 months), but I haven't been able to find much more on that. In fact, I couldn't find alot on him, so this post

Eaton is cute - for some reason my hottie of the moment is TK. I was doing a search on him but could not find out very much about him.

Keep up the good work.

0 goals, 0 assists, +/- 0, 10 penalty minutes, gets paid way too much for doing noting. We only play him so we can trade him for something better, which lost us Sydor. Can't wait to get rid of Eaton, he's the only part of our team dragging us down.

I guess there always has to be a "whipping boy."

Mark Eaton is not having the greatest year, but there was a time when he did help the team a great deal; however, "Uusung Hottie" is on a different level than what a player does for the team (this is HftL for crying out loud).

I can't argue that he hasn't been doing well but it's not worth ridiculing him (there's just too much depth on the team to allow average players to make more of themselves); not to mention this is his first season back from an injury. And Sydor didn't want to be here which is why he was traded -- I don't think that's Eaton's fault at all.

THANKS for posting a comment!!

Sydor didn't want to be here because he was getting scratched for Eaton. That's why he got traded. I understand that Unsung Hotties is based on looks or whatever, but Eaton is just really not a good player. Eaton is ALWAYS back from an injury (Puck Daddy even made an 'Eaton Award' for jokes about fragile players) and has never really contributed much to our team. He's given us 6 assists in the past two years. Not worth two million.

Boucher is an awesome addition. He's what we want from Eaton but don't get.

Life_As_A_Redhead said...

uh, I haven't seen anything that impressive out of Sydor (in Dallas), yet...

But I'm willing to give him time...

Kimberlass said...

Yeah, it takes a while for people to adjust. We're still waiting for Boucher to really jive with our lines to, but the potential is nice. It was a really fair trade, something fresh for both teams.

eaton is an UNSONG HOTTIE!! DANG!! and i think he does help the team alot. our team is full of talented players and not everyone can play every single game espically defensemen. they take one heck of a beatin blocking shots getting back on break aways and alot more and i think eaton does that. yea he hasnt played his great season but give the poor guy a break he missed almost an whole entire season with an injury, he is coming back a new man and the coaches like that. he is doing what he is payed to do and i believe he should be given more credit for his great work. all the games i have watched that he played in, i have seen him block about 6 shots a game (im guessin). he helps out our goalies so much! its not his fault that we are stacked on defense and on offense and when whitney and gonchar come back, we will be stacked even more. give eaton a break he is a great guy and a great player and i love him for that. EATON DEFINATTLY IS AN UNSUNG HOTTIE!!
