As a Red Wings fan in Michigan I can honestly say that after he left, he was extremely hated. Chicago released a news story that he would be 'safer in chicago' as in theyd clean him up and keep him out of trouble better because it was a better city than Detroit. He's the most hated a former Red Wing has ever become hated!

[@charlestessier7843]

Here are a few players that definitely need a mention who were hated by opposing teams. Some names will go back in time because as one commentator said, there IS a modern bias. First I'll mention a few on for the team I've rooted for since childhood, the Montreal Canadiens. Mario Tremblay was well known for being hated by opponents while making his presence felt on the ice . Was also a good offensive contributor as well. I would also add John Ferguson in the 1960s. For Toronto Maple Leafs, I'd throw in a Bob Baun and Darcy Tucker. Lastly a big name was left off. He played for both Quebec Nordiques and Washington Capitals: Dale Hunter.

[@henrymanzano2201]

I agree with you on so many of these. Tremblay's lasting legacy will be running Patrick Roy out of Montreal,and basically ending any hopes of the Habs return to greatness (I say this as a fellow Habs fan). John Ferguson was a BADASS!

[@henrymanzano2201]

And Dale Hunter....I don't even consider him a hockey player. Dude was a criminal who just happened to play hockey

[@Scoots_McGee]

Dale Hunter and Raffi Torres not being on this list is a major miss. Then again you could probably make a few of these lists

[@blackace5744]

To add onto this list it shows how little research the people making this video did that they put Pronger as the most hated or dirty Flyer. Based on what it seems like their criteria was the Flyer on this list should be Dave “The Hammer” Schultz who got into so many fights and got so many penalties he actually released a song in the 70s about being in the penalty box.

Kids nowadays have no idea. Messier was dirty as hell. I think his dirty plays were forgotten due to his winning legacy. He played with many talented players and made a lot of points. His antics stand in the shadows of that glory. When the NHL or sports networks talk about Messier they always talk about him playing with Gretzky, winning the cup, etc. but never talk about how many penalty minutes he got, and they never talk about the dirty hits contrary to Scott Stevens for example. So today's kids who never saw him play live a lie and have an unrealistic portrayal of him. It's like Gordie Howe. Howe was super dirty, but nobody talks about it nowadays.

[@tedcity5861]

​@@TheFlamingPikeI'd give him almost as much credit for Edmonton's cups as Grezkey

[@BigMac785]

For anybody that didn’t know. Mark Messier was a total pos in Vancouver. Wayne Maki was a player who in the 60s was involved in one of the most violent on ice incidents in the history of the NHL. He and Ted Green attacked each other with their sticks and beat on each other in the head. In 1972, he was diagnosed with brain cancer and then died in 1974 at the age of 29. He wore jersey 11. The Canucks took #11 and retired it. When Messier signed as a free agent with Vancouver, he demanded number 11 against the Maki family wishes and most of the public. He then ripped the team apart internally. Trevor Linden was captain of the team. He took the captain from him but he created divisions in the locker room. His attitude was so horrible in Vancouver. He basically got both the GM and Coach fired in not even his first full season there. He basically was Lebron before lebron. He wanted GM powers and convinced the owner to get rid of GM Pat Quinn before Quinn got a chance to fire the coach, Tom Renney. Quinn wouldn’t have put up with Messier bullshit as coach. Tom Renney was a rookie coach, fresh out coaching the Kamloops Blazers in the WHL. Messier created divisions inside the locker room. Back when the Canucks visited the Rangers for Messier return game, he had the game winning goal until a late goal allowed by goaltender Kirk McLean ruined that story for him. He complained and yelled at McLean about it. Every single player who was considered heart and soul players in the organization or leaders were traded away. Mike Keenan got hired as coach and gm. He went on a burn it down approach, trading away McLean and Linden. Mark Messier is definitely most hated in Vancouver to this day.

Pretty sure Probert was feared rather than hated, and as time has gone on is somewhere between beloved and respected. If you're going for a hated Red Wing I would point out that Sean Avery actually got his start with the Red Wings and even then his fellow players thought he was an pile of refuse (an anecdote has it that he went to chirp Joe Sakic and Brett Hull sat him back down and said "YOU don't get to talk to Mr. Sakic.") As a runner up, and this might be recency bias, but Niklas Kronwall was always controversial for his hits. Even when most people acknowledged that the hits were legal, he usually had the opposing team's fans in an absolute blood boiling rage. Then there was an inevitable round two on that fury when Player Safety would review it and determine he did nothing suspension-worthy. This was especially on display when Brendan Shanahan was director of Player Safety and you had the added screams of bias in the decision-making.

[@mangrove]

Vlady moreso than Kronner. Shanahan once said "I used to think that Vlady was borderline dirty, but now that I'm playing with him, I know that he's borderline dirty." With Avery, Hull said that the veterans liked him, but they also kept him in his place. He once walked into the locker room and said "The Big Dog is here." Someone (maybe Stevie Y) retorted "You're not a big dog, you're just a puppy." Hull signed him to Dallas, likely thinking that he could keep Avery on the straight and narrow, which didn't happen, of course.

Ooohh thank you. I forgot about Tikkanen! Yes he was utterly hated. And rightly so.

[@levth01sct]

Regarding Sean Avery, would have been nice to mention the fucking AVERY RULE.

[@neilplace8522]

Agree. Dude was a disgrace to the game as is anyone who would lick their opponents face.

[@doritodumpster]

As a Habs fan, I feel like most hated has to be Mike Ribeiro. He got Jose Theodore slipping in Mtl and was super cocky and a prolific diver (that one against the Bruins being super theatrical). Definition of bad attitude and now might be going away for sexual assault.

[@OtterPlaysYT]

0:31 ah yes Mario vlassic

[@connoraustman8254]

Bertuzzi? No way man, mark messier is the most hated in Vancouver. Just ask r/canucks what they think of messier, and you’ll get hundreds of comments saying “fuck messier” over and over.

[@MacAnTir]

i knew ryan reaves would be on this list. but i didn’t know whether for the leafs or the knights, sure enough it was indeed the knights

[@GameShowMike]

You said Ulf Samuelsson was the most hated Penguin of all time yet the introductory photo is of his son Philip. But all dirtiness aside, Ulf scored the Stanley Cup winning goal just two minutes into game six of the 1991 Stanley Cup Finals which the Penguins won over the Minnesota North Stars 8-0. Cry Ulf!

[@MoneyHoneyBunny]

For all the useless information about some of the players on this list that doesn't really have anything to do with being hated, I'm suprised the Paul Kariya hit wasn't mentioned for Scott Stevens. Sounds like Top 6 is a Devils fan lol the way he only focused on him not being a dirty player. Scott made a few dirty hits, he played forever, of course he did. But I agree he was overall maybe the best physical defenseman ever, along with Chris Pronger, who I also don't think is a dirty player. Other teams fans would HATE them but, yeah, they're hall of famers, legends, champions, and among the toughest men to ever skate... Also, a lot of the teams for these players are incorrect. Like Pronger should be St Louis for example clearly. Some are 50/50 like Tiger was most hated in his Vancouver days in all honesty BUT he did play 1 more season with Toronto than with the Canucks.

[@MoneyHoneyBunny]

Fleury was the biggest little man, and he was 1 of the most popular players for a while. He's been through a lot of shit in his career. The captain and heart and soul of Calgary, I loved how his C was a mini flames logo and not just a normal C shape! Proof of his popularity was how many sets featured big time insert cards of Fleury in the 90s and early 00s. And the guy retired at 34, with over 1000 points, over a PPG, scored 50 goals in a season, won the cup, multi time all star left wing, skill wise he's a 100% hall of famer. He's like Steve Larmer, where he retired very young and could have stayed and padded his stats to 1200 points and already been in the hall of fame over guys like say, Dave Andreychuk.

[@marcinkarwinski806]

Saying that Stevens wasn't a dirty player discredits the whole video. period

[@Wayinsworld]

You never followed up on why Evander Kane was condemned by his own team mates in San Jose. His former girlfriend gave him up for betting on Sharks games. It was over for him in California when the entire team refused to take the ice if he was dressed to play. A gambling addict, Kane ran up huge debts with Las Vegas casino owners, all the while refusing to listen to advice from his team mates.

Ciccarelli wasn't an agitator. He has a premier forward with grit. For Florida I would have gone with Peter Worrell. Even Jovanovski would have been better.

[@SMG41]

there were alot of things correct on this list and ALOT of things wrong. however, the most egregious one is definitely saying that every wants Marchand on their team. he is the only player in the nhl who I would absolutely not want even if he scored 100 goals for us and got us a cup. he doesn't belong in the league. period.

[@dstcoyote22rants]

Sean Avery was hated on EVERY team he played on, and fans pretty much disliked him even if he played for his team.

[@Unholy_Louie]

Max Lapierre was a fun guy to watch in the pre 2010 chaos with Habs. I don't have the best concept of time, but I don't remember anything related to him after he got trade or something. No idea he played for the Blues and had such a poor reputation lol. I really thought he played in Europe not long after MTL but I'm probably mixing stuff up. Definitely wasn't following trades and stuff back then, only watched the playoffs like a poser ;)

[@D-Fens_1632]

I definitely remember him as a Blue, he was kind of an embarrassment but I don't remember anyone really hating him. I think he got dumped on Pittsburgh and nobody noticed. Might have been one of the numerous trades to bring back Perron.

[@jamiereid7428]

I remember him as a Canuck for a couple seasons. He was a tight bastard, but I liked him on my side lol

[@disneyjohn8536]

Gary Suter should be on this list. First player I absolutely hated for his cheapshot crosscheck on Paul Kariya after Kariya scored. Plus he aimed for Gretzky's lower back and injured him.

[@incumbentvinyl9291]

''Kracken's'' Wow, just wow...

[@rollnryan27]

[@henrymanzano2201]

It's. Players. Who. Were. Hated. Most. Around. The. League. Not. By. The. Fanbase. Besides,no one outside of Vancouver cares enough about the Canucks to really hate them. You guys are one of the most important cities in Canada,so,of course,you have to have a team. Other than that,no one thinks anything about the Canucks, except for the Cup riots and the Bertuzzi incident,which was A CRIMINAL ACT- assault,any way you slice it. Your franchise is forever stained by it,and deservedly so

[@walkingcorpse2704]

Actually, 2 games prior to the Claude/Draper hit Kozlov pushed Footes face into the glass causing 7 or so stitches. There was no penalty call. Later in that game, Claude tried to fight Kozlov but he wouldn't, so Claude sucker punched him. That game was the small spark that started the animosity between the 2 teams.

For future lists like this I have a couple of suggestions-which you are obviously free to ignore; after all, it’s your channel and your content. Still, here me out: 1. Lay out your ground rules. It can help you out in more ways than one. For instance, a quick “we’re only talking about players who are retired. If you want me to make a list of active players who are the most hated, let me know and give me a suggestion for your team.” This sets up the video, has a Call To Action to encourage engagement, and builds in a promo for another video. 2. If you’re going to throw in a change-up (Columbus and Mr. Carter), make more of a deal about it-even maybe use it to make a CTA for another video (“If you want to see a video of the players hated most by their own fan base, let me know below, and tell me who your team’s most hated player is”). 3. Make 100% sure that you have the right images. Everyone comments here about “That’s not Tony Twist, that’s X” is someone who cared enough to post the comment. They’re potential subscribers-don’t risk losing them because of a badly chosen or poorly cropped photo. Good luck with it, bro. I’ll follow along for a bit & see how you’re growing with your videos. KZbin needs more hockey history channels! ✌️

Loved carcillo as a flyer. He was a straight nut. Now he's doing great things. I hate Carter. When he was a flyer I worked in the neighborhood he lived in. He lupul and Richard's all lived in the same building and hung out in the area full of restaurants. Lupul was super cool. Richard's and Carter were tools. They treated restaurant staff very poorly. Carter was awful

Good decision by Carter to want out. He was a key player for the LA Kings in those Stanley Cup runs.

[@Scarredfan]

A-@top6Hockey, if you're going to make a list like this and really want it viewed you need to put show the situations and cheap shots that occurred to make them a hated player. Your commentary is very good but there severely lacks the visual of the players making such offenses.

I would say Bob Probert was more feared than hated. He was never really a dirty player, just tough and talented. More good clean fights than cheap shots. He did headbutt Bob Mcgill during a fight but the next day in the papers he said it was because his arms were tied up. 😂
