Your team’s 3 most embarrassing moments

[Score08]

Couple doozies right here.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

1. Putting a literal garbage company ad on the Red Wings jersey
2. Calling yourself Hockeytown and trademarking it.
3. not retiring Fedorov’s number

 

[Devil Dancer]

For the Caps id go:

1. The limo incident

2. Dale Hunter boarding Turgeon

3. Decades of playoff failure before 2018

 

[Toby91ca]

1. Trading Kravtsov
2. Sending down Rempe
3. Buying out Henrik Lundqvist so we could keep Georgiev

HM Trading Buchnevich for Blais

Must be close to perfect history if this is all you can come up with

 

[End on a Hinote]

Canucks:

3. Dan Cloutier's allowed goal from Nick Lidstrom at the blue line in game 3 of the first round (2002).

2. Signing Mark Messier (1998).

3. Game 7 SCF. The game itself and what followed (2011).

 

[NHL1674]

2003 Minnesota Wild

They become the first team in history to win back to back playoff series after being down 3-1. How do they follow that up in the 3rd round with home ice advantage? They not only get swept by the Ducks, but they scored ONLY ONE SINGLE GOAL in the entire series. One goal. One single humiliating goal.

Still hurts. Damn you, Giggy!

Anaheim Ducks vs. Minnesota Wild | Conference Finals, 2003 Stanley Cup Playoffs

 

[TageGod]

Ralph Kreuger.
Terry Pegula thinking they could win a cup after signing Taylor Hall.
Jack Eichel Surgery situation.

HM ROR losing his love for the game in Buffalo.

And people were still frustrated with Giguere getting the Conn Smythe, smh. Giguere in 2003 was carrying the Ducks single-handedly to Game 7 of the SCF.

As ticked off as I was about that at the time, he definitely deserved it more than anyone. He was a wall.

 

[NVious]

1. Trading Kravtsov
2. Sending down Rempe
3. Buying out Henrik Lundqvist so we could keep Georgiev

HM Trading Buchnevich for Blais

1.Not retiring JT Miller's jersey after his first game
2.Not sitting out as a team until the league retires his jersey too
3.Not launching a Rangers led insurgency against the US government to make JT Miller the God King of America forever.

 

[GRob83]

For the Caps id go:

1. The limo incident

2. Dale Hunter boarding Turgeon

3. Decades of playoff failure before 2018

Peter Bondra scoring his 500th goal as a Blackhawk.
Forsberg for Erat trade.
Tikannen missing lay-up in 98 Cup Final.

 

[Elvs]

 

[Thallis]

1. No showing a whole draft
2. Binnington/Kadri incident
3. EJ blowing out his knee on the golf cart

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Edmonton Oilers drafting all those busts with the boat load of 1st overall picks they had. The only one who was not a bust is McDavid.

Ryan Nugent Hopkins is going to play his thousandth game next season and chances are really good he hits a thousand points in his career too.

Taylor Hall has 700 points and only one player from his draft class has more.

Ignorant post.

The actual list:

The Decade of Darkness
Tier 2 fans
Demanding Mike Comrie's bonus back

 

[dr robbie]

The first thing that came to my mind was the entire 2012 Pens v Flyers series. I felt dirty just watching it at the time and not knowing if we were going to win by or lose by 10 goals.

HM: The Mighty Ducks home opener with all of the Disney characters still gives me second-hand embarrassment.

 

[Ceremony]

1. Jersey ads
2. Statue of liberty
3. Hmm. The Valentine's Day Massacre after Forsberg retired. Zanon flipping out about reporters standing on the logo. Duchene's 30 goal celebration. A game during 2016-17 when there were more Chicago fans in the building than Colorado. I might be missing one or two.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

The early days of the Pittsburgh Penguins were marred with incompetence and a disappointing on-ice product they thought maybe a real live Penguin Mascot would help turn things around. Boy were they ever wrong….

2. In the shortened 2012-2013 The league leading Penguins made huge splashes at the trade deadline, acquiring captains and other roster players like Infinity Stones. They picked up Brendan Morrow, HOFer Jerome Iginla, Doug Murray, and Jussi Jokinen to round out an already incredibly strong team. They were poised to go all-in and were surefire favorites to win the cup…

After easily handling the Islanders and rolling over Ottawa the Penguins went on to get swept by the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference finals, scoring only 2 goals in 4 games. All but Jokinen left the Penguins after the embarrassment.

I’ll come back later on when I decide on #3 as these two already made me sad lol.

 

[LuckyPierre]

Spartan guy introduction
Chris Phillips Stanley Cup clinching own goal
The life and times of Pierre Dorion

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

habs fan:

Ribiero writhing on the ice

Habs fans call 911 over Chara hit

Kovalev embellishing a tap on the wrist that leads to a Bruins goal.

I don’t know how many people actually called 911, but that one has always bothered me, as it was most likely a small number of fans making the rest of us look ridiculous.

 

[Nicko999]

For the Habs it' Marc Bergevin.

#1, 2 and 3 combined.

We will still pay for his moves for years to come which will prevent the Habs from being competitive.

 

[leafsfan5]

1: Losing to a Zamboni driver
2: Blowing a 3-1 lead to Montreal
3: Losing like 10 straight game 7s

 

[Juxta Position]

Edmonton Oilers drafting all those busts with the boat load of 1st overall picks they had. The only one who was not a bust is McDavid.

being a franchise for over 100 years and until recently, your greatest goal score was...Rick Vaive

 

[PuckG]

Basically the entire decade of darkness, but let's see here.

The Miracle on Manchester. Game 5 against Anaheim, and losing to the 2020 Blackhawks.

The entire decade of darkness, terrible trades/decision making like three picks for Griffin Reinhart or losing youth like Holloway/Broberg, and letting the Canucks series get to game 7 last playoffs (now we’re stuck hearing injury/Demko excuses every chance we get).

All together, that probably counts for like 20 embarrassing moments though.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Pick any first round exit....then multiply by 3.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

- 1971 Finals game 7. Hawks lead 2-0 in the 2nd and then Esposito gives up a goal to Lemaire from center ice.
Montreal comes back to win. It would take 39 more years for Chicago to finally win another cup.

- Phil Esposito trade. As bad as it gets.

- Aldrich scandal


HM:
Tearing down the 90's team with Roenick, Chelios, etc.
Bill Wirtz not televising home games.
The clown taking Adam Pardy's helmet.
etc.
