Jerrydevil Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I stole this topic from the Rangers cafe, but I thought it would be fun here, considering the whole Holik soap opera and more recently, the Danton stuff. It's a tough vote for me, but I'm going with Bill Guerin, who may be a top player now, but frustrated the hell out of me when he was here. The holdout, the costly crease violation in the 1997 playoffs, his inability to fulfill his potential in NJ......I was glad to see him go. It was close between Guerin and one other player, who I'm SURE will be mentioned by someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamode Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I think I will still stick with Dagenais, though there could be some others, let me mull this one over (or someone else will think of a good one). Danton is a jerk with his immaturity but he has been trying on the ice so I can't hate him completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Bobby Holik carved my heart out with a spoon when he signed with The Rags. I hope he turns into Valeri Kamensky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Devil Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I never liked seeing Doug Gilmour in the red, white, and black. No real reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 Don't need a reason, GA Devil. Just go with you gut! Carved my heart out with a spoon.......love that imagery, Blackjack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 The whole Holik episode left a bitter taste for me. Guerin was an @#$% too. I don't think I ever "hated" anyone in a Devil sweater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomezz23 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 holik...i really didnt like him even before the hole off-season thing...there was somthing about him...boy was i right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Hmmm. Lots of morons that I think are doofuses now but liked on the team..(read: Oliwa) I can't hate Holik because in the end he's a great player and I can't hate someone who makes hockey more fun for me. I can hate Mogilny!! But how can you care that much about someone who just doesn't care that much, you know? I can hate Scott Stevens for his conspiracy to get Larry fired...oh wait no -- that's GR who thinks that... Ron low is a moron! Chico is a homer! Hmmmm...this is going to need some real thought -- I'll get back to you later My edit: Holik isn't great. I never thought he was great...but he loves hockey soo - that's what I meant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 As a Devil fan, I know I should probably despise Holik now, but I was such a fan of his while he was in NJ, that's it's hard to put all that behind now. When Holik comes to play in the Meadowlands for the first time as a Ranger, I expect my memory to be shorter though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Odelein of course, he was garbage Kirk Muller, not because of anything he did with us but that whole Islander situation made me see him in a different light. Esa Tikkanen, old Rag scum, always a thorn in our side. Said some bad things about the Devils after his brief stint was over. Smoked Salo, piece of crap and complained about not getting enough ice time. What a liability he was. Walt Poddubny, he was supposed to score 35 goals for us! Tom Chorske, came back and killed us in 96. I hate him with a passion. Sheldon Souray. Never liked his first name, SHELDON?!?! What the fvck is that?

Jerrydevil Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 7, that's the one I was looking for! Odelein is second on my list. He made me cringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamode Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I thought about Tikkanen, too. I have to add Brendan Morrison--thought he was all that and did a Guerin move with the crap with his contract before he got shipped out. Left a bad taste after that.

devilsrule33 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I know just saying, I don't really see why you would want to say who you hated on are favourite team. You guys can say who you want but I won't put a players name down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I think it makes for some interesting conversation. It's been a slow day anyway, hockey season isn't in full swing yet....blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 As Barry Melrose said today a veteran player can controll who is the coach and what coach goes. As PepperKorn wrote today I would post Scott Stevens for his getting rid of Larry and she didn't mention his lack of leadership on and off the ice and in the lockerroom. So my vote is without question, the guy with the money & contract that can't play anymore. Scotty Stevens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Arnott? Oooh wait is this hated by the fans and players, or just by me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueNJ97 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Got to go w/Morrison. What a friggin' ego he has. Guerin was a close second but at least he did SOMETHING before demanding the world. Sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck27 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Holik now has the honor that was formerly held by Odelein. I didn't really hate Odelein because of his attitude, he was a good team guy, but his on-ice play became brutal to watch. Then there's that worthless piece of crap O'Donnell...seems like Lou made that deal just for sake of making one. Ftorek takes the cake for most disliked coach.

NJayDevil Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Former Devil- A tied between Rat Bastard and Claude's terrible brother, you ALL know who I'm talking about...he was probably the worst NHL Player ever Current Devil- White. He tries to do too much and be like Stevens with all these hits but just takes himself out of position and often times takes a penalty for those hits too. Oh and he punches people in the back of their head on the PK after the whistle is blown, yeah this guy is amazing. Miss we could trade him more than Z or any of the Big 3...

Sarge18 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Unfortunately(in your opinion at least) Njay we cant trade White before the big 3. Otherwise there is no young physical defenseman playing for us, and there wont be a nhl caliber one for a few years. White is damn important to the d right now, and from what ive heard is really outplaying both Stevens and Dano as of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 damn it....hmmm, lets get Bouwmeeter!!! and Blake while we are at it, then there would be NO need for White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
