Poll: Most hated CBJ person in CBJ history

[OldGoaltender]

He sucked as a GM, but he was a good team president and did a lot for hockey in Ohio.

So true. I agree with that. He was a good hockey promoter, GM not so much.

 

[Mayor Bee]

Good coach too. He'd have been great if he wasn't stuck trying to coach the garbage roster that he assembled himself.

 

[NotWendell]

I'd add Dallas Drake and Darryl Sydor to the list.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Half the list should not be there.

Agree...when I think "hate", I think Art Modell. So the only guys that even hit that radar screen are Foote and Carter, and I flipped a coin and Carter came up *ss - I mean tails.

As to inlcuding Priest, he's more about just plain hockey incompetence.

 

[NotWendell]

Seeing Oliwa's name reminds me that the best captain this franchise ever had was Lyle Odelein.

Possibly true which takes us to the beginning.....doesn't say much about our franchise maturing.

 

[Mayor Bee]

I'd add Dallas Drake and Darryl Sydor to the list.

If we go that route, Dwayne Roloson too.

 

[bizzz*]

Ironical that both Sydor and Carter won the Cup just a few month later after they left the Jackets.

George Mathews would crack my top ten. Guy was a complete tool to me and my younger brother when I met him several years ago after a development camp scrimmage.

I'm sorry you had that experience, I have met him several times and he has been one of the nicest guys I've met, he took a good 15 minutes at R bar during one of the lockout events where him and Bill called a game live for an xbox game. He talked hockey, the Jackets, and gathered up Bill and Natalie and took a pic with me. Couldn't have been a better guy. Maybe he was having a bad day or had to run to the bathroom, who knows, give him a second chance.

 

[ca5150]

That's gotta be the most random list ever.

How so? We all have our reasons for hating certain players. I hated Vyborny because he floated and disappeared in big games. I hated Klesla because he was a jerk in person, and played soft for a man of his size. And I hated Modin for similar reasons, he couldn't score, pass or remain healthy and when he wasn't scoring he didn't contribute in other ways like hitting and forechecking, he's the only 6'3 guy that would turn away from hits in the corners. That and he also was a jerk at a Jackets fest.

 

[Asher]

I'm surprised Doug Maclean isn't running away with this.

 

[FakePlasticJackets]

Kiel McLeod.

 

[JACKETfan]

Foote was lowballed and lied to by XGMSH. Nash had the C too when he asked to be traded, and had the contract he wanted! Double standard. In retrospect, Foote was SH's first of many screw ups.

Maclean hands down. Not even close.

 

[blahblah]

I'm surprised Doug Maclean isn't running away with this.

Why? He wasn't a great GM, but hockey is getting bigger and bigger in the state of Ohio (especially the Columbus area) and that was, in part, to the effort Dougie and the Jackets did and are doing in the community. It isn't obvious to those outside of Ohio, but hockey is growing and is actually becoming very competitive. I know a couple of the youth teams that are doing very well in regional play.

There wasn't one thing that Dougie did, until he left, that angered me. He tried to win, he did what he thought was right. He failed. I see no reason to hate that guy. I'll be honest, I've missed his work in the non on-the-ice product.

funniest...post...ever

(Also, voted for Carter, but would like my namesake added. Cringed every time I saw #7 skate out on the ice. Of all the crap we've had at #7, JJ excluded, Quint was my least favorite. He made Heward look like a beast.)

 

[blahblah]

My take on Carter was, bad bad bad fit. Having said that we probably should have know going in it could have went down like it did. He didn't act professional, but we knew he wanted out.

Mason oh Mason... You really bug me.

Can I vote for Filatov's Mom? She ruined that kid... :p

Winner Winner !!!!!!!!

 

[pete goegan]

If we had a poll for Stupidest Polls Ever on HF, this would rank high.

Kiel McLeod.

First I thought of too!

Worse than Scott Lachance?

Worse than Scott Lachance?

Lachance, the pylon that he was, at least seemed to care at times when he was skated around. He didn't play defense well, but it was more diminishing skill than effort.

Quint tried so hard to be offensive that defense seemed to be an afterthought.

He did at least get a hat trick.

Don't be hatin' on Dilly Bar.

 

[cslebn]

Results are in and Carter wins by a long shot.

I'll set up the poll for the #2 person next when I get time(who'd have figured work would actually not give me time to do this during the day)

 

[CentreKeeper12]

Can I hate everybody?
