who’s the most polarizing player on your team?

[Mr Nogatco]

which player on your favorite team inspires the most controversy or debate within your fanbase? what’s the nature of the debate?

not interested in players who are polarizing for non-hockey reasons (e.g., personal beliefs, political stances, etc.)

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Josh "Stone Hands" Anderson


...finally found his niche as a Bottom Six Banger even though he was traded for and paid to be a Top Six Power Forward...

 

[leafsfan5]

For obvious reasons, Mitch Marner

 

[LeProspector]

Elias Pettersson

 

[chris kontos]

Trevor lewis
Lets just say he's in the "sunset" of his career.

 

[Moose Head]

Wifi - some think he’s the special unique player, a unicorn with incredible value. Others see a third pairing guy who’s maybe a better Wade Belak

I’d say that Kyrou is the most divisive within the Blues’ fandom. He had been a purely offensive player for the last couple seasons, but he’s made some positive strides in 2025 on his defensive game.

Back in 2023, Kyrou wasn’t sorry enough when Berube got fired, so fans booed him and he got choked up about it. Some fans still dislike him for it, which is stupid.

 

[Hank Plank]

None, the Flames are completely forgettable and no one cares.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Hamilton
Nemec
Mercer

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

For the Jackets, I gotta go with Provorov

Pros: He always shows up and is consistent.
Cons: He sucks at hockey.

i remember that, people got bent out of shape about the ‘no comment’ response

Kind of ironic because i remember berube had his own brief controversy over a “no comment” he dropped..

berube’s was worse IMO


Edit: damn I think I just broke my own rule about non-hockey controversy

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Jeremy Swayman after the contract dispute and the less than stellar play that has followed it.

Not even close. Anderson is well appreciated by the fanbase, especially this year.

The only good answer for the Habs is Patrik Laine.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Stuart Skinner has seized the crown from Nurse after Nurse has had a pretty good year. Bouchard is not far behind

 

[miscs75]

Pierre Engvall looks irrelevant and scared of any physical contact until mid March when he finally starts to wake up.

 

[Kevinsane]

Philip Grubauer is still beloved by the portion of the Kraken fanbase that doesn’t worry about wins, GAA, save percentage, or goals saved above expected.

 

[johan f]

JT Miller of course.

 

[McGarnagle]

Swayman is a lightning rod

 

[Ulysses31]

rasmussen on DRW. liked by some for his worth ethic but hated bc hes was picked 9th ahead of necas, suzuki etc.

 

[Mr Nogatco]

JT Miller of course.

rangers or canucks?

 

[Luceni]

Probably Marco Rossi for MIN

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Emil Lilleberg has his awesome moments and then braindead moments. Feel like most other Lightning guys are well liked or well disliked.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Patrik Laine
