I'd like to clarify I am a longtime fan of the Bruins as well as the Leafs so no one thinks I left a glaring omission, that said:
Detroit: the most reprehensible combination of dirty and "respected' I think Ive ever seen. I hated them more when they were relevant but I still can't stand them. Also Datsyuk most overrated player to ever lace em up? Almost certainly. Notable pieces of garbage: Kronwall(epitomizes the dirty/respected anomaly), Ablekator, Bertuzzi, and several others but not too many standouts because its more of a group effort. That said I like Zetterberg and would probably like Pavel if not for, ya know, everyone who does
Vancouver: Love torts and Luongo's new attitude so I've backed down from this a bit. However, obviously their is still alot to hate, I did love their run to the cup finals though it was so ******* poetic. Booking victory parade after going up 2-0, luongo cutting up thomas than getting lit up by a Christmas tree, dirty hit taking out Horton to turn the series around, then the riot. It was one of my favorite hero vs.villians finals in recent memory. Notable ********: Bieska(face/attitude combo of a frat boy, kesler(somersaults), Burrows, Hansen, etc.
Ottawa: remember how I said Datsyuk was the most overrated player of all time? Well let me introduce you to his runner up: you may have heard of him(ad naseum for 3 years) Erik Karlson, and the only reason he won't shatter every record on the books is because he once suffered and injury and is at 62.39 percent for the rest of his career.
And I actually hate these three more than Montreal, mostly because they have faded into irrelevance, however, PK the diva and coward is certainly bringing them into the limelight. Most recently when he started a scrum with Colton Orr only because he knew Parros was on the ice.... leading to his injury.
Honorable mention to the Sabres of the past few years, employing dirtbags because they know they arent going to win games anyway, given the fact that I mentioned Im a Leafs and Bruins fan I don't think I need to tell you why I dislike John Scott.
Cheers
