I think it might depend on what level you're playing at as well Liam.

We've all played in club games where one player makes all the difference to that team. Dropping Benson or Pig into a A/B grade game for instance?

On a completely facetious note I'd like to introduce a new type of player. The Anti-star. This was the type of player I was before I got fat/lazy/crap. I was certainly not a *STAR* as I would never ever win you the game. Basically I was/am useless for scoring goals when you needed them. I was, however, the guy you wanted on your team when you were about to be thumped when I would turn into a puck catching net so that the team could go down a relatively respectable 7-0 instead of 15-0.

The anti-Star: Stopping your goal difference from getting embarrasing. DISCLAIMER: Does not apply in test hockey where I got embarrased plenty...
