Can't forget Babs benching Modano so his career finished at 1499 games

[@anthonylarson7919]

yep Babcock for that alone is a first ballot hall of fame POS

[@chr970]

Yeah that was really strange.

[@reyrey5639]

Mucks was the GM in Ottawa Bryan Murray was the head coach

[@joedavis4257]

You showed Marc Crawford and didn't even mention him trying to go over the glass to get at Scotty Bowman in 1998.

[@DeadPandaSociety]

Bill peters really should of been on the list or a dishonorable mention at the very least.

[@shawnwharry952]

did you watch the video? he was on the list.

[@lakeeriesailor2852]

can add Ted Sator (NY Rangers and Buffalo) and Orval Tessier who once told the media that his players needed heart transplants after they dropped the first 2 games of the 1983 semi finals.

One of the funniest PR stunts I remember was one game when the Oilers gave every fan a cardboard mask of John Muckler. I can only imagine what it was like for the players to look up and see 18,000 Mucklers staring back.

[@mikesutton748]

Jesus get the info correct if you’re going to do a video. Muckler didn’t coach Ottawa to the finals. The late great Bryan Murray was the coach.

Like so many lists like this it only goes back ~20 yet the NHL is basically 100 years old. Really folks ... were there bigger assholes than Imlach or Eddie Shore etc? These guys would keep yours for a pet. If you doing it all time then make it so. Gee whiz.

[@broadstreet21]

Respectfully, while most of these coaches are rightfully hated, some don't exactly belong on this list. Muckler was unorthodox, but I don't believe he was hated by his players. Crawford was disliked by some players, but not the Canucks, certainly not after having played for Keenan who was a nightmare. If anything, it's the Avs fans who hate him for ditching them in 1998, then ordering Mmoore's attack. But the real undisputed most hated coaches of all time will include Punch Imlach, Jack Adams, or Scottie Bowman (well in Bowman's case, fans didn't hate him, just his players 364 days a year). Nobody could stand Adams or Imlach though.

The title says Most Hated in NHL history...I think Eddie Shore has to be on this list.

[@rd9793]

John Brophy was never a Rangers coach.

[@thetruthhurts6652]
