And to be fair to me, I did not specify what % people might expect them to have, and what % most of them do have. Some people pointed out that Kane looked flabbier than they expected. I'd say that sufficiently entails "surprisingly high body fat". At any rate, I'm not in the mood (ever) to google "shirtless hockey players", so I don't intend to present any further evidence on the matter. All I will say is that some of the guys I've seen - Brodeur, for one, and Donovan for another, could even be called "chubby". Kind of surprising given a lot of fans think these guys are the trimmest of the trim.

Haha. I don't know if you've been following but Azure and GreenTeaFrapp conveniently ignored all the facts, so I figured I'd stoop to their level. Pretty spot on I'd say.
And by the way, some key things you should know about creatine:
-It "augments" only the first ~
10 seconds of
high intensity physical activity; it has a very specific purpose!
-You're paying a lot for very little
-It will likely inhibit your own phosphocreatine synthesis! This means if you stop taking it you'll likely see a bigger decrease from your norm than the increase you saw from taking it
-It can cause muscle cramping and dehydration
-When used properly in the right conditions (of which few exist) it may give a slight edge. This is definitely worth it for athletes like 100 meter sprinters, or olympic weight lifters.
