What Five Current NHL Players Do You Hate the Most?

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

A few years ago, I started a similar thread, and Chris Pronger wound up being the guy more people placed number one on their list, than any other player.

I thought it'd be a fun idea to start a similar thread, to see where people stand today. Oh, I also decided to include only NHL'ers, which is why Forsberg didn't make the list.

My list:

1. Chris Pronger

2. Sidney Crosby

3. Jordin Tootoo

4. Barrett Jackman

5. Milan Lucic

[Rick Zombos Ghost 82]

1. Pronger

2. Crosby

3. Ott

4. Sedin twins

5. Kane

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

In no particular order:

Crosby

Tootoo

Pronger

Jackman

Perry

Runners up: Carcillo, Getzlaf, Hartnell, Ribeiro, Morrow, Lappy, the rest of the Flyers, the Blackhawks, the Pens, and everyone not a Wing.

2. Perry

3. Jackman

Pronger, Perry, Ott, Jackman and Tootoo would all be honoured to be on anyone's list of players they hate. It just feeds into their game.

2. Crosby

4. Ott

I'll go with...

1. Pronger

2. Perry

3. Getzlaf

4. Tootoo

5. Hartnell

[XxGoWingsxX 0]

1 - Lilja

2 - Franzen

3 - Zetterberg

4 - Williams

5 - Kronwall

i hate those five for being injured lol. But really, here's my real list

1 - Shea Weber (lilja was becoming one of my fav wings when the fight occured)

2 - Chris Pronger (no explanation required)

3 - Sydney Criesby (Way too overrated and overhyped. I personally think malkin is better)

4 - Mike Ribeiro (everytime we play dallas this guy just irks me to no end)

5 - Jarrko Ruutu (i don't know why but i just wanna sucker punch this guy)

Now, for something a little different here's a list of NON wing players who I DO LIKE.

1 - Scott Hartnell (i'd love to have a guy like scotty in a wings uni)

2 - Evgeni Malkin (I don't hate the pens, i just hate crosby)

3 - Brooks Orpik (love his no give up attitude)

4 - Jonathan Toews (I think kane is overrated and toews, underrated)

5 - Dustin Bufglyen (reminds me of a young Homer with a mean streak)

[Broken 16 381]

Hate is such a strong word. The only player that comes close to getting hatred from me is Kane. Just because he is such a weasel.

But in the spirit of the thread I'll say that I hate:

Tootoo

Niedermayer (even more with the grey beard)

Perry

Malkin (strong Dbag factor)

[thedisappearer 291]

Perry

Pronger

Kane

Tootoo

Ott

[matt198913 932]

ok well i got 5

1. Crosby ( just cannot stand him)

2. Dion Phanuef ( one of the most overrated players in the league)

3. Pronger

4. Mike Commodore

5. Corey Perry

[Z and D for the C 712]

Turco

Pronger

Perry

Sedins

That order.

Getzlaf is actually one of my Favorite non-wings. I'd take him for my team in less than a second. I love him.

I also like the player Crosby, just not the leagues marketing of him.

1. Ott

2. Perry

3. Jackman

4. Crosby

5. Tootoo

This is also my five, in no order though.

[BeeRYCE 2]

It really saddens me that Crosby is hated by so many. I mean seriously, he is a blast to watch play, and it might be because he "cries" or whatever, but he just overall has a passion for the game.

[Travis 576]

Corey Perry

Ryan Getlaf

Chris Pronger

Jordan Tootoo

Sydney Crosby

Darcy Tucker

Niedermayer

Avery

Though when I don't have to hear about Crosby non-stop it's not so bad. I will say that after the whole, Detroit sign incident, Guerin made a strong push for the Top 5.

*edit: Had to add a few more after I thought a little more about it.

How are people still spelling SIDney Crosby's name wrong? I mean people pretty much hate him because they see his name everywhere, but still manage to get it confused with a city in Australia.

They are usually the same people that think he "sucks". They aren't exactly at the top of the genetic pool, what do you expect?

what did lilja do that you liked so much? get burned? cough up the puck? losing battles? getting his clocked cleaned for trying to be an badass when he is just a soft european and he clearly showed us why teams tend to stick to north american hard nosed D, and though there are rare exceptions (charas a perfect one) your phaneuf bouwmeister weber suter whitney pronger SCOTT STEVENS are way more common for good reason. lilja reminded me way too much of kuznetsov, krupp, none of which were worth salt and neither is lilja.

watch a couple of lilja highlights for me and tell me you still like him... heres some fights that he had, seems to end up on the bottom in just about every youtube fight video on there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEjI56zWOZM

and this one right here is my favorite right here, tune into the 7:20 mark and watch whos guy ends the season for the red wings.... your beloved lilja. this is the lilja pattented dont pick up your guy / let him walk to the hole and end the game move.

classic lilja doing what he does best.

[GSBrooks13 204]

I dont know if hate is a good word. I dont really hate anyone.. but here are the top 5 I dislike.

1. Ott

2. Pronger*

3. Crosby*

4. Malkin

5. Neil

* These players will be removed from my dislike while the NHL is on break for the olympics

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Tootoo - the suckerpunch king

Kane - if cherrypicking won playoff games, this kid would have a Conn Smythe

Ott - dirty player and "tough guy" with non-fighters

Ribiero - just plain don't like him. probably because I lost all respect after the stunt in Montreal.

Rutuu (Jarkko) - dirty player
