Great GREAT list. I'm sure "but he has a metal plate in his face" is making his way up the list, as well. Hated Naslund and Svoboda, as well. I'm sure I can think of a bunch more!

I was curious if he'd make the list. All he really ever did was skate pretty and score some goals, but damnit, he always annoyed the hell out of me.

Claude Lemieux was in a (d-bag) class by himself.
Good post, but can't believe you forgot Mario Tremblay.

Funny you mention that because they had a guy named Bill McCreary that played there in the 40's or so and I initially had him there with a comment about him being there to:
"Commemorate the unity that Referees and The Habs have shared over the years".
But I realized that I forgot someone and he played outside the time frame that I said I would use, so I cut him out.

^This. Metalhead is atop the current "hated Habs" list. He's spineless & talentless. He loves to tiptoe the line with borderline dirty & dangerous hits, yet flatout REFUSES to answer for them.. I despise this kid.

Yeah, I think he was ending his career as I was starting to watch. A lot of guys that I could have put in there were left off because I couldn't think of anything relevant or clever to say about them. (Of course some may say that about the whole list)
or Saku Koivu
Nilan butt ending Middleton was the single most dastardly act, ever. I still can't believe he was a Bruin.

Never met him but I swear what you describe is exactly what I envision his personality to be. I guess sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.

Remember Steve Fletcher...enforcer brought up during 1988 playoffs and subsequently unable to do much vs LB (victim of the LB-patented uppercut)?

As I was making the list, in my mind I was thinking that was Paul Stewart (who became a Referee as I'm sure you know) but then I remembered he served the same purpose for the Nordiques, not the Canadiens.
I then remembered Fletcher but his career was so short, he didn't seem worthy of a mention.
That was a fun time to be a fan. We often forget (or maybe are too young to remember) that a lot of the minor leaguers were mythical creatures that most fans hadn't seen play or fight. You couldn't go to youtube and watch all of his fights.
Back then you read in the paper or heard on the 6:00 news or pre game show that they brought up a minor league enforcer for tonight's game. When it happened, the feeling you got was almost indescribable. How big and tough is he? Do you think he can take Miller or Byers. I hope he doesn't cheap shot Neely or Bourque.
Fun times.

Probably the best part was we were out to eat in New Canaan and after listening to Pacioretty brag about how awesome a time Sioux City was, how awesome Michigan was gonna be for hopefully only 1 year, and pointing out for the 7th time he was a 1st round pick he finally got around to asking my buddy how we knew each other. My buddy said college. He asked where I said a "Curry College, a small school outside of Boston." Pretty condescendingly he asked "How small?" I said about 2000 students. His response was "wow, that must suck". I just replied "well, it works for me". Rolling his eyes Patches just ended the conversation with "I guess...". I would have kicked his ass but the fact that he's about 7 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier and in much better physical condition kinda threw a wrench in that plan of action. I had to settle for wallowing in self loathing because I wasn't an NHL prospect and I went to a crappy small college
. All while thinking is it a possible for a human to be anymore full of himself?

Met my share of people like that. Sadly, when it happens I find myself going to a bad place in my mind. Thinking about possible tragedies that they could endure some day or how great it would be to outlive them.
Not my best moments but they got me through it.
i could watch these all night
miller goes down, getting punched while laying on the ice refs let it go, he gets back up starts tattooing miller and then refs jump in
This list is seriously awesome. I'd like to add Tomas Plekanec and Chris Higgins to mine. There's not enough hate to go around for Komisarek though. A real joy Lucic broke him, and it was gravy he signed in Toronto and sucked there too.
Edit: you do have Plekanec. Still, what a rotten twit he is.

My mind goes there to, but I never thought something like the Chara/Pacioretty incident would happen though. All I'll say is I didn't have as much sympathy as most fans did (no happiness yet no horror as shared by many but I was emotionally indifferent). Oh and the hate and spite filled texts I got from his friends were a riot. Almost as if I hit him. Even two people unfriended me on fb, but alas it is in the past and the two people that unfriended me got over it, although my buddy always asks me if I really have to wear my Chara jersey when I'm down in New Canaan. Life's a funny thing though you meet it a kid who is a great hockey player and drafted by the Habs but still never think he'll be their leading goal scorer let alone become the center of such a circus like Chara/Pacioretty and eventually go on to be my most hated player.

I don't know why but my hatred for Komisarek really waned over the years. I think I just kind of pitied him toward the end after Lucic neutered him.
