Hockey Players Have Surprisingly Average, If Hairless Bodies

As a nice middle-of-the-road counterpoint to the flab of Terrence Cody and the idealized manhood of Greg Oden, here are some Blackhawks shirtless in a limo.

The vital Canucks blog Orland Kurtenblog got their hands on these beauties today, which, best they can tell, were taken during Chicago's road trip to Vancouver this weekend. And sure enough, Patrick Kane, seen above (with pants unbuckled), told ESPN Chicago how much he loves the Pacific Northwest.

Kane likes coming to Vancouver. "The weather is pretty nice right now and you see a lot of pretty girls walking up and down the streets so obviously that's a good thing. And it's a hockey city too, so you have fun with that."

Well, I'll say this for Kane: at least he's not taking taxis any more.

John Madden, meanwhile, gets his flex on while holding a champagne flute, and Kris Versteeg doesn't mind being touched. All are auditioning for the Flyers, apparently.
