from ESPN,

This week's Big Question: What's the worst thing a fan has ever said to you?

Steve Ott, Montreal Canadiens: "Geez, I've had a lot of shallow things said to me [laughs]. You know what? The funniest thing ever was that I remember I got absolutely cranked in the face by Kip Brennan. He just punched me in the face as hard as he could, and I ate the thing. Some fan yelled over the glass in the penalty box, asked me how it tasted. All I remember is that it was hardest sledgehammer I'd ever taken in the face. I didn't have much to say. That pretty much shut me up for the first time in my life."

Eric Staal, Minnesota Wild: "I remember in Winnipeg once the whole crowd was chanting 'Jor-dan's bet-ter.' That was fun, I actually liked it. That was cool."

James Neal, Nashville Predators: "When we came off the other night in Philly, one of the fans said that Ribby's [Mike Ribeiro's] hair was greasier than a Big Mac. I was dying laughing. It was pretty funny. There's stuff you can't repeat. You get it all there."
