Who do you hate irrationally?

Recommended Posts

Jerome Iginla - He's said to be one of the most personable guys off the ice in the entire league and yet I can't bring myself to like him. Of course, if he were on the Red Wings things would likely be different. Same with Chris Pronger, only I think the dislike is meritted there.

I've got a thing against Steve Ott...

I had a friend who had a boyfriend almost stolen by a girl with the last name of Ott (even had a picture of her on HNIC) so I've hated him since then. Does that still count as irrational?

Now THAT is irrational.

FYI, "I hate Tootoo because he takes cheap shot."

"I hate Perry coz he's a snob."

etc.

NOT irrational.

Red wings fans that after 2 loses begin to think the whole team should be traded away

That was actually my first thought :rolleyes:

IRRATIONALLY (meaning guys you have a legit reason to hate are off the table--meant for everyone saying C. Lemieux, Pronger, etc), here's my list:

Columbus Blue Jackets. It's the reverse-homer thing, if you like someone other than the local team, you hate them extra, even if they've never been any sort of threat to you, never any real incidents between the teams. Pretty much no real reason to hate them, unless you buy into the stupidity that it's a "rivalry" (the honks in C-Bus say so because the Wings are in the same state as UM).

Scott Gomez. Total waste on my fantasy team. Hating players because of what they do to your fantasy team is irrational, IMO.

Scott Niedermayer. I just don't like his face.

Michael Rozsival. Yes, really.

Trevor Daley. This may have been based in rationality at some point, I don't remember.

Paul Kariya. Even going back to Anaheim.

Carey Price. I'm enjoying his recent struggles and have no idea why.

...all wannabe tough guys

Sort of like guys who have to jump people from behind to get their shots in, even when they have the revenge factor on their side? <_<

Sorry, couldn't resist with the avatar and the hate of "wannabe tough guys."

That's just good enforcing, did Claude Lemieux deserve a square off? Draper didn't have a chance, why should Claude?

Are you saying Darren McCarty is a wannabe tough guy? Check his fight card... educate yourself...

TOTALLY irrational....

Jason Woolley - cost me a fantasy league win like 8 years ago by scoring 4 assists in the last game of the year and putting the other guy over me by 1 point. Have still not let go of that. "If I see him, I will fight him"....

Kevin Bieksa - Just because I hate the way Jim Hughson says his name on HNIC games.

Manny Malhotra - the Rangers hung onto this kid like he was made of pure gold, wouldnt trade him, nope, you can't have him, and he turns out to be a total bust. Nice GM skills, Rangers.

Alexei Yashin - Just a *****. A ***** who made WAY too much money and cared WAY too little.

Peter Forsberg - for being the Brett Farve (yes, it is spelled FARVE) of the NHL. Heck, I hate Brett FARVE too.

Stephane Robidas

Michael Sammuelsson - My hatred for him has become irrational I suppose since he is not playing too bad for us and yet I still think he's a complete speed bag.... he sort of bothers me around the face area especially.

I hate all of the Flames and the Ducks, or the Goon Squads as I like to call them. I hope that they just decide one day not to play because they would bring the level of hockey down. And Rick Nash, I hate him too because last year he caused a great deal of suffering to my friend who is a Coyotes fan.

Easy hero, I was just going for reaction points. Guess it worked!

If you don't think what DMac did was total sweetness, find another team I say.

Ditto, and Bush, Boner, Dick, Frist, Allen, Sensenbrenner, Lieberman, Feinstein, Kyl, Cornyn, Sessions, Santorum, Robertson, Hastert, Gonzales, hell, this list would be too long, but sadly it's also quite rational.

But since the hockey part is becoming a bit more fun, I'll add a few more:

Chris Osgood. He sucks and hasn't won a cup in ~381,000 minutes.

Mike Illitch. His damn pizzas need like at least one or two more pepperoni's per slice. Cheap ass.

Bob Probert. For leaving the team instead of staying to beat the crap out of Avalanche players -- especially Roy, until he retired.

Adam Foote. Same reason as some mentioned for Getzlaf. He looks like a dickhead.

Steve Sullivan and Brian Gionta. Belong in the junior leagues with all the other kids that are their height.

Chara. Belongs in the Sequoia forest.

Barry Trotz. Shouldn't be an NHL coach -- instead an iHop mascot with his pancake head.

Derian Hatcher. Sasquatch.

Grant Fuhr. Looked like my friend's pug dog. Not the most sightly dogs. Hate him and pugs.

I think if people were being honest with themselves this thread would be 40 pages long by now.

You think? Once you remove people with valid reasons (of varying validity) like Lemieux, Pronger, Fedorov (if you still hate him, I used to and now don't), Tootoo, Ott, how much is really left? I actually had a fair amount of trouble coming up with mine.

I guess you could assume Kopecky/Samuelsson for 95% of the board. Given what we pay them and the roles they play on the team, hating them is pretty irrational. You could also assume Ovechkin and Lucic for a few people more or less because they get tired of LGW collectively gooing itself over both of them.
