kind of miss those days when the Habs had a few guys who, at the very least, were willing to drop the mitts....didn`t make me hate them any less though
In those days I could at least grudgingly respect Montreal [very grudgingly]. Not anymore.
I've always thought it took a lot of guts for Clarence Campbell to suspend him. I can't imagine Bettman having or even finding the stones to do something like that. Or any other sports commissioner for that matter.

Pastafarian!
This is as funny as the OP, which is hilarious!
I'da put Knucklehead first, but W/E.
Interesting thing is, I hated that they always beat the Bruins in the 70's but really didn't hate their individual players. Perhaps I was too young. Nilan was prolly the one that got my hatred going, and it's only snowballed!
I used to love it when they'd bring up a goon to beat up Miller, and the goon never got a chance cuz LB would pummel him first!
And no one was more deserving of having their head slammed into the boards by Cam than Claude Lemieux...oh the glee when Markwart turned his eye into a mouse for him!
They say hatred is an un-healthy emotion. I disagree, Hab hatred is truly one of life's greatest joys!

The bolded goes back to the legendary playoff game where Bowman sent Bouchard out to fight Jonathan. Bouchard had 7" and 30 lbs on Cherry's personal bulldog, but Stan still twisted his head off like a bottle cap.

Great and hilarious list, I hate Claude Lemieux the most of any of those guys on the list, the guy was just pure garbage even when he left the Habs.
Sort of like Cooke, no matter where he goes I hate him just as much.
Remember when he caved in Drapers face, what an ***hole.

Yes. I also remember the payback he got the following year- IIRC it was Darren McCarty who hammered him. Claude of course turtled...
I really don't get the Patches hate around here, the dude is GOOD. He's also been pretty quiet over the past couple of years other than the ever present Chara-push.

Great topic Sarge! Agree with every single habs player mentioned.
I remember my friends warning me before that game about Fletcher and his 17" biceps. Played one shift, took a beating from Byers, and was never heard from again.
Lyle Odelein was a dirty p.o.s. Always had that ugly grin on his face.

How on Earth did we forget Lyle Odelein??!!

Yeah, Maxim Lapierre too! And I remember getting pissed every time Naslund played against us and nobody was able to hit him as he skated around like he was on a huge pond.
Maybe 5 years from now, I'll make a list of 40 and some new ones will be there.

I remember a game 5, mid'80s.....coulda been the Steve Penny year, or maybe Roy was already playing, but it was a best of 5, and late in the 3rd, maybe OT.
Naslund gains the zone, and I said to my buddy, Naslund's gonna score.
I HATE being right!
Gotta admit, he was a good player, but I hate him.

Some old B's-Habs history discussed here...once you get past the Scorpions/hairbands talk at the top of the segment. (starts at the 3:05) You get some Gilles Gilbert, Moe Lemay, Brian Propp, etc. talk in there plus my thoughts on Kings and Jonathan Quick if you have time to listen.

Carboneau was a guy who drove me nuts.
I also really had a disdain for the uni-brow J.J. Daigneault
About Lemieux. I agree with most you said but man the guy could really elevate his game come playoff time. But the draper thing will always stick out in my mind.
I don't really have the hate for the others as you do.
Never really a Patrick fan but thought the way they treated him at the end was terrible but I think that's all on Mario Tremblay.
I always liked Price until 2 days when "they were pretty lucky."

Nice list otherwise
Lucic trains in the off season with Gally and his father......Lucic put a big push for the Bruins to draft him.........
