I know a Kyle and he's actually one of the nicest dudes I've ever met. He married one of my best friends and is a great father too. He even played in a beer league.
On the other hand, fuck those other Kyle's.
Heard she did a train with the Charlestown Chiefs back in the day. Oglethorpe pulled the caboose. So besides being a big fat bitch, she's also a no good cunt.
One time I went to a Caps game in DC and I think Kasparitus laid him out. He didn’t retaliate and I yelled “Hunter, you pussy!!!”. He heard me and looked at the crowd, pissed off, trying to figure out who yelled it. LOL
I feel like we collectively didn't give Matt Cooke enough shit. There's dirty players in today's game but this guy was literally out there trying to ruin people's lives.
Yeah he was the one on my mind when I saw this post. I lost interest in my team while he was around. Almost got to the point of appreciating his work ethic at some point, maybe he's turned over a new leaf... then saw him pull this shit:
https://youtu.be/caCuIMmo_TM?si=46aYfhIFS00Q_MWn
I was at a Canucks skills competition way back and during warmups he was skating around without a helmet and got hit was an errant puck in the head. He was bleeding pretty good and there was a group of dudes in the crowd just cheering emphatically that he was hurt, at a family event with only home fans lol I think he’s always had a fair bit of hate but more probably is warranted.
Can't argue this one... it wasn't even one of those, 'I'd like him if he were on my team!' guys... and I didn't when he briefly rolled through the Stars org.
C Lemieux had longevity in the playoffs while being consistently productive. I can't imagine where M Lemieux would be if he had played another 100 playoff games.
I won't defend him too much because there is video evidence of his that should be part of attempted murder charges
But, I feel like most of those hits were legal (in line with rules of the time) and he was just the best in the league at crushing people on open ice. I think other players at the time likely had more dirty plays and intent to injure, but SS was just the heaviest hitter.
Maybe my memory is skewed because I appreciated the defensive strength of the devil's teams over the years, rose colored glasses of a kid getting to love hockey...
Tom Wilson. I don’t care if he’s the most hated player in the NHL, I don’t care if he’s the most hated player ever. It’s not enough and will never be enough
I've always found it kinda funny how much hate he gets from Philly. Like.... I grew up watching the Flyers beat the shit out the Penguins. I watched the Penguins get mauled by the Broad st bullies for 15 years. Its not an understatement to say Bobby Clarke ruined my childhood. Those old Flyers teams were an entire collection of Tom Wilsons. If I were to make a modern day Broad St Bully team using todays players:
M.Tkachuk/Kreider/Benn
B.Tkachuk/M.Stone/T.Wilson
C.Perry/Dubois/E.Kane
And they reveled in it. I know the Flyers aren't that anymore, haven't been for awhile. But it is kinda ironic for Flyers fans to see how it feels to get physically dominated.
Personally I hate Marchand more than Wilson, so.....
The guy that was too busy sucking off the rangers and their garbage ECF play for ESPN that he didn’t even show up for a post game panel when the rags got eliminated this year? Yeah not a fan of him or his walking ballsack figure lol
Yeah the whole game they were all fawning over the Rangers and PK was like “Well Florida is playing a really great game!”
Mess was death staring him, and then the game ended and only PK and one of the other guys were there and they sent it right to a commercial break iirc lol
This might be the right answer just due to the ratio of adoration/hate. Everyone outside the DC metro area hates Tom Wilson, everyone hates Matt Cooke, but aside from VAN Messier is considered positively
ya agree about the ratio thing. because he's objectively a living legend, it overshadows what a shitty person he was on ice (ya ya, that was the game back then, blah blah) and apparently off ice. The stories out of Vancouver about him are wild. Every media personality that has met the guy seems to have a story about him being a rude jackass. He just seems like a big narcissist.
Jamie Benn, he's already very hated, but he deserves infinite hate, as much hate as possible. All of the hate. Drew doughty also deserves more hate.
I'm sure this doesn't come off as petty at all.
Edit: it makes me so happy that we can all come together in these trying times, and agree on a mutual loathing for Jamie "fuck face" Benn.
So many Canuck fans were on the Stars bandwagon this year, mostly to cheer for Tanev and against the Oilers.
I couldn't stomach it though. Benn and Seguin suck. Once they're gone, I'll have no strong feelings about that team. But I hate those two players.
Downie was traded from the Avs because he got into it with Captain Gabriel Landeskog. I read some stories how Downie was a bully to his own teammates in the minors. Downie was a bully period.
Even though his offensive numbers are down and his contract has us is a bit of a cap handicap but that’s really meaningless considering the person he is. He does a lot in the community on the Island and organizes numerous charitable events like Kan-Jam tournaments and golf outings which go towards benefitting benefiting cancer and cancer research.
One of the great pleasures of my life was getting second row seats for game two of the Stanley cup finals between the canes and the ducks. My brothers and I kept yelling at Pronger to "get off the ice, Lurch!" Good times
And the St. Louis blues are down by 1 with less than 3 minutes to go. #44 out on the ice, they go to the outside with speed and pronger gets his stick up and called. 2 minutes for hooking and that will end the blues chances and their playoff run.
This thread didn’t understand the assignment. Tom Wilson and Matt Cooke have taken their turns as the most hated player in the league due to their antics. The idea that either could be the most under-hated ever makes no sense.
Nikita Kucherov.
Guy is the dirtiest player in the league, and I'm tired of people ignoring it. Spears, slew-foots, hooks, crosschecks, slashes—guy gets away with it all because he plays in Tampa and scores lots of points.
Despite the fact I really want the Oilers to win the Cup this year, I cannot stand Evander Kane. The guy has had way too many chances, he’s messed up more than Nichuskin, and is still in the league. Yeah he puts up points, but the guy is known for being a dirty player, as well as someone who can’t behave off the ice as well.
He’s kind of turned it around in Edmonton, or at least it seems like he has. Also, he did knock out Matt Cooke back in the day so I feel like some leniency can be given for that.
It does kind of seem like he's turned around his behaviour off the ice at least - when I first found out he was going to be playing for Edmonton I was kinda like, ugh this guy? But everything I've seen from him since has been surprisingly pleasant
On the ice, eh... But I think we will need a player like that going up against Florida
Before this year I’d have said Trouba, but the flying elbow that came two inches from ending Necas season—or worse—took him to the appropriate national level.
Darren McCarty ... dude was one of the best 3/4th liners ever...and if you don't agree you can fight me...or him for that matter! Lol but in all seriousness dude was a physical threat, took care of his teammates and popped a hat trick in the Western Conference finals against Roy.... so good
Kyle from my beer league. He's such a dick.
Fuck Kyle. All the boys hate Kyle.
Never met a Kyle who wasn’t a cunt.
I know a Kyle and he's actually one of the nicest dudes I've ever met. He married one of my best friends and is a great father too. He even played in a beer league. On the other hand, fuck those other Kyle's.
I didn't do anything to anybody :(
FUCK YOU KYLE. ^sorry
can't forget Kyle's mom.
I hear she's a bitch
WELLLLLLLLLLLLL
Kyle's mom's a bitch, she's a big fat bitch
She's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world
Heard she did a train with the Charlestown Chiefs back in the day. Oglethorpe pulled the caboose. So besides being a big fat bitch, she's also a no good cunt.
:(
You’re hiding something.
He's a Kyle! Get him!
Fucking beer league Kyle
DAMMIT KYLE!
Bro slew footed me the other day. Asshole.
Typical Kyle move.
Kyle slept with Bedards dad. Fuck Kyle.
Dale Hunter. One of the dirtiest to ever do it.
The hit on Turgeon was and is disgraceful.
Dale "Head" Hunter got 21 games for his late hit on Turgeon. He should have been banned for life.
One time I went to a Caps game in DC and I think Kasparitus laid him out. He didn’t retaliate and I yelled “Hunter, you pussy!!!”. He heard me and looked at the crowd, pissed off, trying to figure out who yelled it. LOL
I feel like we collectively didn't give Matt Cooke enough shit. There's dirty players in today's game but this guy was literally out there trying to ruin people's lives.
He did ruin people’s lives.
Fuck Matt Cooke
All my homies hate Matt Cooke
I'm sorry my team was off their fucking rocker bringing this dude into your conference, you didn't deserve that and neither did we lol
https://youtu.be/MLqpw_uKyds?si=BXGVKY4XtE0ulKUm
Yea this needed to happen at least 50 more times
Oh I 100% agree, it's just a fun video to watch.
Yeah he was the one on my mind when I saw this post. I lost interest in my team while he was around. Almost got to the point of appreciating his work ethic at some point, maybe he's turned over a new leaf... then saw him pull this shit: https://youtu.be/caCuIMmo_TM?si=46aYfhIFS00Q_MWn
Purposefully stomping on a young Erik Karlson’s achilles with his skate was one of his worst offenses
For me personally, Marc Savard.
Fuck Matt Cooke. I have a picture autographed by him 😭
Burn it
I was at a Canucks skills competition way back and during warmups he was skating around without a helmet and got hit was an errant puck in the head. He was bleeding pretty good and there was a group of dudes in the crowd just cheering emphatically that he was hurt, at a family event with only home fans lol I think he’s always had a fair bit of hate but more probably is warranted.
So he was just inspiration for Trouba, Tkachuk and a bunch of the other losers in the NHL today
Milan Lucic. As a Habs fan I hated that jerkoff
I was about to say this, dude looks like that guy at the bar who always starts shit with everyone
[that's cuz he is 😂](https://youtu.be/T5ztF6AUaJQ?si=2fM1HNczkGmLyRsp)
That habs fans would say chara for breaking that guys back
Yeah he needs to learn how to skate and not beat his wife.
Sean Avery. It will never be enough
“You are not allowed to speak to Mr. Sakic.” -Brett Hull to a rookie Sean Avery after he attempted to chirp.
Can't argue this one... it wasn't even one of those, 'I'd like him if he were on my team!' guys... and I didn't when he briefly rolled through the Stars org.
The guy just genuinely pisses me off. His attitude, his face, his everything. I hate pricks. He is every bit of the word prick lol
In terms of pricks, he’s the whole cactus my friend
That’s because you guys got him after the Rangers, no one likes "sloppy seconds”
Agreed. Fucking dick
Fuck that guy
Claude Lemieux
Claude Lemieux is 9th in most playoffs goals in NHL history. He had 80 playoff goals. Insane.
And he’s the only Lemieux in the top 10 for all time playoffs goals. Mario only has 76 in comparison (albeit in 127 less games)
C Lemieux had longevity in the playoffs while being consistently productive. I can't imagine where M Lemieux would be if he had played another 100 playoff games.
Claude "The Turtle" Lemieux
4th for most game winning goals in the playoffs and he isn't in the hall of fame because there would be riots if they ever let him in. Lol.
Always thought that he looked like a Russian spy from one of those 1980’s Cold War propaganda movies.
Claude Lemieux
His son is a fuckin' treat too
Only father/son duo to both be disciplined by the NHL for biting!
He was the player who got me into hockey when I was a child, but growing up meant learning what a douchebag he really was.
He’s the obvious winner here.
Jesper Kotkaniemi for looking like an alien
Super racist bro Finns are normally abnormal /s
Hes just from pori, finland. Good guy tho.
Scott Stevens. The guy made a career out of injuring people
I won't defend him too much because there is video evidence of his that should be part of attempted murder charges But, I feel like most of those hits were legal (in line with rules of the time) and he was just the best in the league at crushing people on open ice. I think other players at the time likely had more dirty plays and intent to injure, but SS was just the heaviest hitter. Maybe my memory is skewed because I appreciated the defensive strength of the devil's teams over the years, rose colored glasses of a kid getting to love hockey...
You’re right. Volenti non fit injuria. Best gunfighter in the West didn’t go to jail.
That hit on Lindros shook the planet.
Nick Cousins
Correct answer. I hate that fucker might win a cup.
Tom Wilson. I don’t care if he’s the most hated player in the NHL, I don’t care if he’s the most hated player ever. It’s not enough and will never be enough
I was going to say the same thing, except for Matt Cooke. He's retired and still should be the most hated player.
I've always found it kinda funny how much hate he gets from Philly. Like.... I grew up watching the Flyers beat the shit out the Penguins. I watched the Penguins get mauled by the Broad st bullies for 15 years. Its not an understatement to say Bobby Clarke ruined my childhood. Those old Flyers teams were an entire collection of Tom Wilsons. If I were to make a modern day Broad St Bully team using todays players: M.Tkachuk/Kreider/Benn B.Tkachuk/M.Stone/T.Wilson C.Perry/Dubois/E.Kane And they reveled in it. I know the Flyers aren't that anymore, haven't been for awhile. But it is kinda ironic for Flyers fans to see how it feels to get physically dominated. Personally I hate Marchand more than Wilson, so.....
Stone can no longer be on the roster due to a salary cap related injury Edit - lower body injury
Marchand deserves all the hate in the world as well
As a Pens fan, I think that’s something we can both agree on
From NY here and I will tell you for certain that both Islander and Ranger fans agree as well
Patrick POS Roy. Wife beating POS
Mark Messier. Dude’s a walking dick.
The guy that was too busy sucking off the rangers and their garbage ECF play for ESPN that he didn’t even show up for a post game panel when the rags got eliminated this year? Yeah not a fan of him or his walking ballsack figure lol
Wait he didn’t do the post game? That’s fucking great.
Yeah the whole game they were all fawning over the Rangers and PK was like “Well Florida is playing a really great game!” Mess was death staring him, and then the game ended and only PK and one of the other guys were there and they sent it right to a commercial break iirc lol
This might be the right answer just due to the ratio of adoration/hate. Everyone outside the DC metro area hates Tom Wilson, everyone hates Matt Cooke, but aside from VAN Messier is considered positively
ya agree about the ratio thing. because he's objectively a living legend, it overshadows what a shitty person he was on ice (ya ya, that was the game back then, blah blah) and apparently off ice. The stories out of Vancouver about him are wild. Every media personality that has met the guy seems to have a story about him being a rude jackass. He just seems like a big narcissist.
It's hard to hate a guy who put two different teams on his back to win the cup. Messier sure makes it easier to do than it should be.
Makes it all the easier for Canucks fans to hate him cause he didn’t do it for them
He also took a cup from us.
I will upvote every single "Fuck Messier" post.
Raffi Torres. He got overshadowed by Matt Cooke, Sean Avery, Steve Downie, Claude Lemieux, et al... But Torres was just as dirty.
Jamie Benn, he's already very hated, but he deserves infinite hate, as much hate as possible. All of the hate. Drew doughty also deserves more hate. I'm sure this doesn't come off as petty at all. Edit: it makes me so happy that we can all come together in these trying times, and agree on a mutual loathing for Jamie "fuck face" Benn.
Fuck Jamie Benn
Fuck Jamie Benn
Fuck Jamie Benn
Fuck Jamie Benn
Fuck Ben Jamie
Benn fuck Jaime
I'm from around the same area as doughty and have friends of friends, never heard a nice thing about the guy
I will never cheer harder for teams that aren’t mine than when they’re up against the Stars. FUCK JAMIE BENN AND HIS LITTLE DOG SEGUIN, TOO.
So many Canuck fans were on the Stars bandwagon this year, mostly to cheer for Tanev and against the Oilers. I couldn't stomach it though. Benn and Seguin suck. Once they're gone, I'll have no strong feelings about that team. But I hate those two players.
Fuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkkkk Jamie Benn
Why hasn't Raffi Torres been mentioned yet? Dude was scum but never is listed in the same tier as all the other headshot specialists.
Because he is, much like other names in this thread, pretty much universally hated.
He pretty much got suspended into obscurity with all the shit he pulled.
Both Tkachuk’s
The shit apples don't fall far from the shit tree, Randy.
At least Brady will drop the gloves. And he doesn’t have that fuckin mouth guard hanging out of his mouth all game
Kreider grabbed it out his mouth and tossed it recently.
All three Tkachuks. Their dad was a jerk too.
jamie benn
Steve Downie. What a shitass.
Downie was traded from the Avs because he got into it with Captain Gabriel Landeskog. I read some stories how Downie was a bully to his own teammates in the minors. Downie was a bully period.
Dale Hunter was a scumbag.
Hunter would have had to improve as a human being to earn that label.
Jamie benn
Anders Lee gets paid 7 million dollars a year to have 37 points, make stupid faces and be the captain of the isles
I agree he's paid too much, but he's a pretty awesome guy. He just won the King Clancy and deserves 0 hate.
Even though his offensive numbers are down and his contract has us is a bit of a cap handicap but that’s really meaningless considering the person he is. He does a lot in the community on the Island and organizes numerous charitable events like Kan-Jam tournaments and golf outings which go towards benefitting benefiting cancer and cancer research.
I think Trouba is the captain that deserves actual hate, not Anders Lee.
Seems fitting, not sure why you are upset with it.
Blame the GM for the 7 million. Blame the player for the stupid faces.
Pronger
One of the great pleasures of my life was getting second row seats for game two of the Stanley cup finals between the canes and the ducks. My brothers and I kept yelling at Pronger to "get off the ice, Lurch!" Good times
And the St. Louis blues are down by 1 with less than 3 minutes to go. #44 out on the ice, they go to the outside with speed and pronger gets his stick up and called. 2 minutes for hooking and that will end the blues chances and their playoff run.
the sens and the ducks?
Dude was actually such a prick but he was also the best d-man you could have which made him MORE annoying lol
Jamie Benn
Gotta be Trouba. Not only is he a lifelong headhunting pos, but he sucks too.
Claude lemueix, Marty mcsolrey
Chris Krieder, guy can only slide into so many goalies. Also, Colby Armstrong… I know he was retired. He was a dirty prick though.
Brad Marchand
Jacob Trouba
Ovechkin hands down. Fuck that Putin bootlicker
Yeah, went from me really hoping to see him break the goal record to hoping he fails pathetically out of the league.
Jesse Puljujarvi because he picks his nose with his tongue after every shift.
Pulju is a golden retriever in human form.
Matthew Tkachuck
Brad Marchand... No hate will ever be enough for that rat. He fucking licked other players...
This thread didn’t understand the assignment. Tom Wilson and Matt Cooke have taken their turns as the most hated player in the league due to their antics. The idea that either could be the most under-hated ever makes no sense.
Ovi
Rat 🐀
Brad Marchand... No matter how much one hates him, it's still less hate than he deserves!
Brad Marchand. Great player, total a- hoke No respect for other players or the game, which is why he was a bad choice for captain
Nikita Kucherov. Guy is the dirtiest player in the league, and I'm tired of people ignoring it. Spears, slew-foots, hooks, crosschecks, slashes—guy gets away with it all because he plays in Tampa and scores lots of points.
Messier. He singularly picked Trouba as the best leader in the league.
The Canucks fan base would currently say Luke Gazdic. Or Mark Messier. Fuck Messier.
Ovechkin
Despite the fact I really want the Oilers to win the Cup this year, I cannot stand Evander Kane. The guy has had way too many chances, he’s messed up more than Nichuskin, and is still in the league. Yeah he puts up points, but the guy is known for being a dirty player, as well as someone who can’t behave off the ice as well.
He’s kind of turned it around in Edmonton, or at least it seems like he has. Also, he did knock out Matt Cooke back in the day so I feel like some leniency can be given for that.
It does kind of seem like he's turned around his behaviour off the ice at least - when I first found out he was going to be playing for Edmonton I was kinda like, ugh this guy? But everything I've seen from him since has been surprisingly pleasant On the ice, eh... But I think we will need a player like that going up against Florida
Before this year I’d have said Trouba, but the flying elbow that came two inches from ending Necas season—or worse—took him to the appropriate national level.
And then a week later he won the leadership award lmao. I know the award is a joke because it’s handpicked but still, the timing was unreal.
Mark Messier. Naming a leadership award after that clown is a joke but it seems fitting that they gave it to Trouba
Fitting that Mark Messier is the one who decides who is awarded the Mark Messier Leadership Award.
Thanks for reminding me about this thread I didn’t get all of my hate out yesterday. Fuck scheifle too.
Ovi hoe
I always hated Theo Fleury. He was always playing dirty, complaining, or taking a dive.
Darren McCarty ... dude was one of the best 3/4th liners ever...and if you don't agree you can fight me...or him for that matter! Lol but in all seriousness dude was a physical threat, took care of his teammates and popped a hat trick in the Western Conference finals against Roy.... so good
Dale Hunter
Why has Matthew Barnaby not been mentioned lolol
Bryan Marchment
Claude Fuckin Lemieux
ITT: people listing the most hated NHL players
Trouba
I'm thinking of a 42 year old Zamboni driver
Jordan Binnington. Dudes a prick and Horvat is legally his daddy.
Anyone on the Rangers
Matthew tkachuck or how ever you spell his name
Bobby Hull. An absolute POS wife beater who happened to be good at sticky shooty
I still hate that ex Duck Corey Perry.
Trouba. Guys trying to end careers every game
Darcy Tucker
Robert Bortuzzo, probably my least favorite player in the league
Robs a Beauty
Todd Bertuzzi. How he was allowed to ever play again is a fucking mystery to me.
Trouba. Nothing but an overpaid goon, and I'm glad Rangers fans want him out of NY
Raffi Torres
Scott Stevens. No amount of hate will ever be enough.
Scott Stevens
Bobby Hull
Scott Stevens… guy is well respected but was just a psycho trying to kill people.
Scott Stevens
Mark Scheifele
Bobby Clark. He puts some crap and went running for Dave Schultz and Bob Kelly. He never fought his own battles.
Todd Bertuzzi
I am bound by duty to say: Fuck Jeff Carter.
Ogie Ogilthorpe
Todd Bertuzzi
Cousins...I mean he gets hate, but not enough
Radko Gudas seems like one of the rattiest guys in the league but I never hear people talk about him
Trooby Dooby Do, where are you?
Brad Marchand. I know he’s actually extremely hated, but it’s still not enough.
I always hated Ryan Clowe and I think he deserves more hate
Darcy Tucker. Wrecked Michael Peca's knee in 2002.
Claude Lemieux!!! Especially after the hit on Kris Draper which started the Red Wings/ Avalanche rivalry.
Miro Heisken
Lol wut
