I’m willing to bet that 99.9 percent of the readers of this site are sports fans, whether its hockey, baseball, football, soccer or even tennis. I don’t know, maybe you’re even big into curling, I mean no offense, cause I actually support the gays. But whatever sport it is, the main reason for following so closely is to root for your favorite athlete or team. When they win, you’re happy. When they lose, they’ll get ‘em next time. It’s cheering for your team that makes watching sports so much fun, like you are a part of something much better than your average life. You feel like you are actually a part of the team and say things like “we lost that one to the refs” or “we picked up a great player this off season” like it affects you just as much as the team itself. Now on the other end of the spectrum, while liking one team or athlete, you can sometimes grow very fond of disliking other teams and players. Sometimes this dislike can grow to annoyance, which then goes into full on hatred. Whether they tend to perform very well against your team night in and night out, or maybe even the very way they play the game, everyone has players that they love to hate. Hating on a player can sometimes be as fun as cheering for another, and I would like to share a few of mine with you all. Here is my list of the Top 5 NHL’ers that I Love to Hate.
Starting off the count down at number 5 is Super Pest Sean Avery.
I put him at the top of the list because Avery is actually very effective at his job at times. He can get under the skin of the other team like no one else has in a while, since the days of the great Esa Tikkanen. Plus he also has been known to dabble in the banging of hot celebs (Elisha Cuthbert). But man do I hate this guy. He could be ten times more effective at his job if he had an I.Q. high enough to know when to speak, and when to shut up. This guy just doesn’t seem to know where the line is sometimes, and crosses it often. There is a difference between dressing room talk and sharing everything on your mind with the press. Ya that was hilarious when he said double Dion was enjoying his sloppy seconds in Cuthbert, but the shit caused by that statement could have been avoided. Avery, learn to play the pest role on the ice a little more, and keep the personal shit out of the media. He has the potential to be a solid everyday player in any teams lineup. Just learn when to shove a puck in your mouth before you speak sometimes!
Coming in next on the count down at number 4 is double Dion himself, Calgary Flame defenceman Dion Phaneuf.
A real doucher playing for a real douche team. I hate the Flames. I hate everyhting about their whole organization. Dion fits right in on this team, as you can tell just by his head, that he is the definition of a douche bag. I would like to kick him square in the teeth, just for the way he looks, let alone his arrogant shitty attitude. I’ll bet he rocks a popped collar with his faux hawk, that loser. Every interview I see with him makes me hate him a little bit more. You would think that there is a maximum level of hate that an individual can obtain, but Dion takes mine to new heights on a daily basis. I don’t feel this way about many people, but this guy just gets under my skin. I would have put him number one, but he didn’t deserve to be high on any type of list whatsoever.
Now miving into the top 3, holding down the bronze medal is actually a pair of individuals. Except they are not individuals they are the exact same person, equally skilled and equally ugly as f*&k. That’s right, you guessed it. Number 3 is Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
These two Swedish sisters are decent enough hockey players, but watching them play really grinds my gears. It doesn’t help that they play for the lowly Canucks and that whenever they play the Oilers, they do very well. I have never in my life seen two players cycle the puck so much. And I’ll bet play by play announcers get pretty sick of it too. Daniel to Henrik, back to Daniel…. I mean come on somebody’s gotta shoot, right? But enough said I think I’ve made my point, these two gingers can go blow each other back in Sweden. I’m tired of hearing Lips say how good they are.
I’d like to take this time before I announce number 2 on the list, and give a few honorable mentions that didn’t quite make my top 5. One individual that I just love shouting derogatory things through the tv to is Matt Cooke. I mean I know I’m supposed to hate the game not the player. Screw that, Cooke is a rodent on the ice and I would love to see someone smash his face a little. Also a shout out to Steve Ott and Darcy Tucker. Not only do I hate these guys but I’ve witnessed these guys get booed even by their own fans. Really says something about a guy when your own teams fans cant stand your style of play.
And now back to the countdown, coming in at numero dos, the guy with maybe the greasiest hair in the league, Chris Pronger.
Sorry its such a hideous close up of this f*g, but I had to use it to show the true nature of this beast. I heard when he was in Edmonton, the gap in his front teeth was utilized by homeless people, providing shelter from the frigid temperature of Northern Alberta. This guy has been said to be one of the dirtier players in the NHL, throwing around elbows to the face and using his stick a little too much, both on and off the ice. His reason for leaving the Oilers was kind of funny, knocking up some reporter, but he didn’t really have to go. The guy is just p*ssy whipped by his wife that he loved so much, an yet he cheated on her. He was a big part of the Oilers oh so close Stanley Cup run in ’06, but i was kind of relieved to see him go. Having to see that greasy mullet slicked back every warm up was getting on my nerves. Chris Pronger = Homo.
And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The guy I hate the most in the NHL, and i think many Oilers and non Oilers fans will agree, is the big weasel himself, Dany Heatley.
Who asks for a trade and then excercise his no trade clause when one is made? I’ll tell you who. Dany f*#$!’n Heatley. I guess it doesn’t help at all that I am an Oilers fan, and that’s where he refused to go, but the guy is still a piece of shit. No matter who he would have refused to go to, the way he left Ottawa was despicable, and he should be embarrassed. I hope no one on the Sharks ever lets this guy drive them home from the bar. Dany Heatley can go take a long walk off a short bridge and play in traffic at the same time. I can’t even talk about this guy anymore, my blood is starting to boil.
So there are my top 5 players in the NHL that I love to hate. I guess you could say I wish that these guys were en fuego………..literally. I would love to hear what you all think of my choices, and maybe give a few of your own. Ten bucks says that the Big Show writes something about Crosby. Peace up, A-Town down.
