Not hate, tough love I think. kidding
It's not Blackwell rational people dislike, he is fine. It coaching deciding to do silly stuff.
Similarly Pionk, I don't think anyone hated him, he was playing above his head at the time and the Rangers management not having a better option was the issue.
Same as Trouba, it's not dislike for him, it management not having a replacement for Pionk, them always liking Trouba which led to Trouba and his contract.
Smith, Shattenkirk, too, Rangers brought them in and put them above where they were playing prior and they did not do well with that.
Glass, etc
It's not the player, it's always either coaching or management that leads to the "whipping boy" thing.
