"ESPN's Kristen Shilton and Greg Wyshynski caught up with dozens of stars at the NHL Player Media Tour near Las Vegas last week and asked all the pertinent questions: What did they like about the new CBA? Who will take advantage of the new relaxed dress code? Are they happy with the current playoff format? Plus, their favorite "cheat meals," pregame pump-up tunes and weird equipment quirks."
""I'll go with my most recent: I had just a massive plate of chicken wings on Sunday to watch some NFL football. Like every other American. I'm a Giants fan. We scored less than a touchdown in Week 1. I'm not a hot chicken wing guy. I like the flavors. I went honey buffalo and garlic parm. It's so good." -- Charlie McAvoy, Boston Bruins"
