Bertorama Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ok everyone time for you to vent! Who is that player who just pisses you off more then the tax on your hard earned cheque. Why does this player get under your skin more then getting stuck in line at the grocery store behind that douche who wants everything price checked! I'll start it off. My number two of all time Player Hate goes to .............. Patrick Roy. Yep I said it. He's a talent there's no doubt ...maybe the greatest who played the net but he turned down team canada for the Olympics and btw we won gold that year thanks to Martin the great. He beats his wife? No class. He complained so hard got moved to a diff team because he couldn't handle the heat. Think of the crap Louongo had to go through and he never once acted like Roy. I have a hard time respecting a player who turns his back on his Country and snubs his teammates to get ahead. Not a fan. And more over I certainly player hate Roy as a coach! *Roy out of Olympics CBC Sports Posted:Nov 23, 2001 1:33 PM ET Last Updated:Nov 23, 2001 1:33 PM ET Patrick Roy values Stanley Cup rings more than Olympic ones. Which is why the Colorado Avalanche goaltender plans to pass on a second Olympic experience next February. Roy backstopped Team Canada at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, but announced late Wednesday that he will not compete for a roster spot for the 2002 Winter Games. Though Canada missed out on a medal at Nagano, Roy was an impressive 4-2 with a 1.46 goals-against average and considered the top candidate to start in goal again at Salt Lake City. "I was there before and it's certainly going to give a chance to another guy to play," Roy told reporters following Colorado's 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders at Nassau County Coliseum. "It's very simple. I wanted to take that time to prepare for the playoffs, for myself to have a good playoffs and finish the season strongly." Roy was instrumental in the Avalanche claiming their second-ever Stanley Cup last spring. He also captured a pair of Cups with the Montreal Canadiens, as a rookie in 1986 and again in 1993. Roy revealed that Team Canada executive director Wayne Gretzky "accepted my decision," when informed via telephone early Wednesday. "There's no conflict at all between any people on Team Canada and myself. It's just a personal decision." A 36-year-old veteran of 17 NHL seasons, Roy was one of four goaltenders invited to Canada's three-day orientation camp in September. The others were Ed Belfour, Martin Brodeur and Curtis Joseph, now considered the front-runner to start for Canada at Salt Lake. "Patrick Roy is entitled to make any decision that he wants," Joseph said. "He's done enough in hockey that, whatever decision he makes, he's got a reason for it." Final Olympic rosters need not be declared until Dec. 22, however, leading to speculation that Roberto Luongo might be added to the mix. Sean Burke, who tends goal for Gretzky's Phoenix Coyotes, is another name being bandied about. "When you look at the quality of goaltending there is, I have no doubt in my mind that they'll do really good," Roy said. Roy's 491 regular season wins are the most in NHL history. He also holds league playoff records for games played (219), wins (137), minutes played (13,542) and shutouts (19). Ironically, Roy's shocking announcement comes at a time when he is playing his finest hockey of the season. Roy was named NHL player of the week on Monday after posting three straight shutout victories over the Minnesota Wild, New York Islanders and Brodeur's New Jersey Devils. He is 7-9-1 with a sparkling 2.01 GAA and .927 save percentage for the defending Stanley Cup champion Avalanche so far this season. By comparison, Joseph is 11-6-2 with a 2.18 GAA and .910 save percentage. Brodeur is 8-9-2 with a 2.65 GAA and .894 save percentage, while Belfour is 6-7-4 with a 2.42 GAA and .909 save percentage. "I don't necessarily ask people to accept my decision but, at least, respect it," Roy said.* Just don't get it. He bailed. And now he has no gold medal to his name. Lou and Martin do and I don't care how many cup rings you have Pat. You didn't beat the best in the world. ! Edited by Bertorama, 20 minutes ago.

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Was never a fan of Roenick, but i do recall him being one of the more respected guys in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lychees Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Marchand, nothing really needs to be said that hasn't already. Malkin, mad respect for his skill but mad dislike his stupid dirty cheapshots and hits that he never gets called for (think Willie Mitchell hit from behind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 If a player gets under your skin to the point that you hate them and get irritated every time you see them, then you take hockey far too seriously. I never did like Marty McSorley though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 A player many hated, but I actually enjoyed watching was Sean Avery. Hate Ilya Kovalchuk, and Alexander Radulov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silfverberg Snipes Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 David Booth. My unhealthy hate for him is well documented on this site. I knew he was a plug after his first game, but people seem to be perpetually infatuated with him 'looking like our best player' and 'doing all the right things'. What a load of shit.

Bill Sikes Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Chris Chelios, dirty, obnoxious, and worse yet, nearly indestructable. When he did get hammered he just kept getting up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 mike smith his diving drives me nuts. he has caused 2 undeserved suspensions that I can think of of hand wih his antics. everytime a player goes near him its like hes diving from a star wars explosion. I was embarrassed to have him named to team Canada, but thrilled that he didnt get a chance to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Burrows..........do we really need him? fixed it for you. As for me, I would honestly say its that friggin Mike Milbury. I dont hate any player but he comes the closest. For active player, I go with Brad Marchand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Daniel Alfredsson. Turned his back on Ottawa, didn't even sound contrite, has stupid hair and physically repulses me, I can't stand his face. Besides that, most of the others I hate have retired. Avery, Pronger, Smyth, Sundin...all gone. Oh, Duncan Keith. I'd love to take a pair of scissors to his mop. And elbow him in the face while I'm at it.

ice orca Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Bryan Marchment..suspended 13 times for some of the dirtiest hits in the history of the NHL. Targeted stars like Modano and Bure, just a pure POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 A player many hated, but I actually enjoyed watching was Sean Avery. Hate Ilya Kovalchuk, and Alexander Radulov. Hate the Russians who went home but like the guy who made racist and sexist remarks, fought with his own teammates, and mocked his own teammate for having a disability and an ugly girlfriend. Sounds reasonable xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
