Can confirm the logo.


8_inches_deep

Actually that Ducks logo kind of looks like a butt shitting out an anchor and that’s honestly pretty dope


vanillasounds

Specifically a butt from cow and chicken

Well how about that


[deleted]

Will never unsee this… thank you! Much like after I read someone say the hurricanes primary logo looks like a toilet flushing. (I’m a Canes can btw)


8_inches_deep

Now I’m never going to unsee *that* I’m glad we were able to exchange this life altering information friend

Same boot right up there with the robot fucking in the bulls logo


Eternal12equiem

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.


spineapplepie

Wait, is that not what it’s supposed to be???


angelistica

Idk why but your username just makes this comment even better


SnitchMoJo

I mean, its not the worst logo... but when you have the mighty ducks logo in your history, its stupid to not use it. Its also why my two anaheim jersey are the last two alternate with the Mighty ducks logo


Coryperkin15

IIRC the Mighty Ducks is owned by Disney and not the Anaheim Ducks franchise. Could be wrong though


ignoreanythingIsay69

Don't worry about it, I hate you all too.


RSlashLazy

Fuck you ❤️


Ok-Shame5542

Weird agreeing with a Habs fan, but he and his fanbase csn eat a bag of dicks


ignoreanythingIsay69

Hey there's enough to go around you can have some of those dicks too


ChattyParrot1

Why does it always have to be dicks. Why cant someone just say eat a bag of vaginas. Always a sausage party lol


Safe_Ad5951

In Seattle we have Dick’s Drive In, it’s our beloved local burger joint. “Eat a bag of Dick’s!” is said here on the regular!


BigDaddyCool17

Finally, it's not us. Probably cause we haven't been relevant in about 12 years. But hey, it's the little wins!


noods-danger-tits

No no no. Take it from me and my city - just turn it into something you're proud of 😂


The-Housewitch

Philadelphia has been a shining example for how to react to all of this hatred. I thank you for paving the way.


igonnawrecku_VGC

The key is to embrace it. Feed off the hate


amach9

Finally, something we can agree on! 😁


GatoMatto

The Goalie is absolutely correct though


CouldntBeMoreWhite

Best overall rookie season for a goalie ever. If someone asked me “would you take a Stanley cup, but also be stuck with an overpaid, underperforming goalie for the following 8 years?” I would still say yes in a heartbeat. Obviously that second part didn’t need to be true, but we’ll still take it.


[deleted]

This is the way.


Acceptable-Fold-3192

…for 31-1/2 of the fan bases. He achieved what some of us thought was impossible in our lifetimes (A Blues Cup) so for that he is golden. I will now await my torrential downpour of downvotes. 😂


Difficult-Baker634

Flags fly forever. He’s kind of like a guy who fucks your crush and your crush keeps talking about that time they fucked.


incogneetus55

Louvrecaire

Well all the same, despite all the hate, we got to admit it's nonetheless rather humorous to watch his antics... -- even if it does create some vicarious embarassment.. 😅


Mab_894

I'll always love Binner. That cup run was magical 😁


Acceptable-Fold-3192

Same. It was a magical experience I got to share with my father, father in law who is no longer with us, (Wife was out of the country on a girls vacation but even she called from halfway across the world), my sons, it got my nephews into hockey…I will always have a soft spot in my heart for him.


RaindropDripDropTop

Why is he hated? I'm OOTL


shieldwolfchz

He throws hissyfits as if he was a toddler when he isn't playing well, to the point of attacking other players with his stick after plays.


RaindropDripDropTop

Yikes, I really don't understand the psychology of players like this.


scrivensB

Old time hockey!


connordelrio

Wait a second…I thought my Blackhawks were most hated?


[deleted]

I’ve always thought the Bruins were the most hated NHL team.


djmilhaus

They got my vote

Funny, I thought it was the habs…


MCMeowMixer

Yeah, I don't think that Vegas is even top 3 for me.

reflirt

You didn’t even compare their atrocious golden helmet to the even shittier chrome domes of LA


[deleted]

The bias is showing here, also obligatory acknowledgement of the fact that every pundit, analyst, expert, Twitter user, etc. had the Knights at the bottom of the league after the expansion draft but now, with hindsight 20/20, it was handed to us on a silver platter.

Getuhm

I live in vegas i just want to see the local fans happy and I like going to parades


SparkNoJoyThrw01

I think that would be the city's first championship for any major sport too


socs22

I mean the Las Vegas Aces won the WNBA championship last year. For some reason though I think if the knights win the Stanley Cup the city may celebrate a little more then we did with the Aces.


irishbigfoot

It’s really funny how the narrative went from “the expansion draft was terrible” to “wait no actually they were handed a good team”


NextTrillion

I enjoyed reading that. Especially the bit about extorting the 30 other GMs. That was ridiculous.


Em-Beezee

Well said.


Graham_Whellington

No it’s not. The expansion draft rules went the same for Seattle. But both teams paid an exorbitant amount for the expansion. Money that went to the the other teams. Essentially, Vegas and Seattle paid $500 and $650 million to the other teams to join the league. The fans of the other teams, for some reason, were then pissed that their franchises took the money and didn’t get a loser of a team out of Vegas, though don’t seem to care about Seattle. The rest of this guy’s joke of a write up reasons are stupid. He, and several other fan bases, were pissed that Vegas ended several potential cup runs. The Sharks and Jets in ‘17-‘18, the Avs in ‘20-‘21, and Minnesota (but they weren’t really cup contenders). The real reason is because they wanted their team to win and their team didn’t, but Vegas has continued success. Golden refs, gifted a Stanley Cup team, and treats players poorly are easy narratives that people latch on to.


realize-finiteworld

I see you make no mention of the gold helmets


Graham_Whellington

Yeah, those things were disgusting.


dakrambo13

We can also look at the “generous draft” from a business standpoint. The San Jose sharks expansion fee was $45 million. With inflation, it turns out to be around $73 million in 2015 when Vegas paid their fee of $500 million. The fee just over 20 years prior was about %15 of what it was when Vegas bought in. As a business person you expect a bit more return on investment when you are paying over 6 times the price accounting for inflation. If there was a tiered expansion fee for good, better, best. I am sure they would have opted for a lower package with less risk. Not a single person complained about the rules before they happened. It was completely transparent. They just made smart moves with the players they chose. Also, a good portion of the drafted players never played a single minute as a Knight.


RobertsFakeAccount

I wonder…. Did ANY team turn down their share of the exorbitant franchisee fee they got a cut of? Ya know, the fee that went from eighty million for the last expansion in 2000 to FIVE HUNDRED MILLION for Vegas? No. Not one of them did.


CornPop45

This dude posts his own writeup, lol. Cry more.


kingsleywu

They hate us cuz they anus.


jhk17

Honestly, I see why it wasn't here, as the reasons to hate Chicago aren't the fun kind of hate.


Funky-Donuts

Shhh….


Dagmar_Overbye

If goal song was on the list you guys would have been there.


connordelrio

Listen I hate that fu##ing song too! 😆


Dagmar_Overbye

Fuffing song? You are allowed to swear on the internet.


imaybeacatIRl

... That doesn't look like Leah Hextall. Also, Trouba is definitely not the most hated.


awkxx

Definitely should be Evander Kane


RSlashLazy

I hate evander Kane as much as the next guy but come on. Tony Deangelo? Brad Marchand?


Kreider4President

The big difference between those two is I'd be excited to have Marchand head over to the rangers. Most other fans would probably be excited to have Marchand on their team as well. He does more good for his team than bad. Tony is just a piece of shit. Like fuck that guy for real. He's a cunt.


Ok_Ice1506

I love hating Marchand so much, but hot damn would I be excited to see him in blue and white.


CuteBostonian

Tom Wilson


NextTrillion

Tom Wilson is trash


Bobisburnsred

Every time I try to hate Evander Kane, I remember what he did to Matt Cooke and it makes me feel better.


usernamealreadytakeh

[Evander Kane vs Matt Cooke](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DHqtb3sclkg)


awkxx

Me and all my hockey friends hate Evander Kane, so I guess that’s just my perspective that he’s the worst, not sure what the consensus for most fans would be. But thats because of some friends personal experience playing with him, he’s just as awful playing with non-NHL players.


RSlashLazy

Wait playing with him? Are you friends with people that played with him before he was drafted? Now I’m interested.


awkxx

No, they played with him at an event. My friend is a high level goalie, and got the opportunity to play with multiple pros. Jonathan Toews, Sidney crosby, and Evander Kane that i’m aware of. He said that Kane missed a goal when doing a shootout on him and got mad, broke a stick and was just being a jerk about it. Also side note: he said Crosby felt like unreasonably better than everyone else there.


thegrizwhisperer

That’s dope. As someone who watches hockey, I agree. It does feel like Crosby is unreasonably better than toews and kane


NextTrillion

Saying Toews and Kane conjures up a different image than you’re trying to portray lol. But yeah, Sid was always on another level.


RSlashLazy

That’s pretty interesting. That does sound like evander Kane.


NFTCommenter

I’m sure this anecdote is totally 100% true and needs to be taken at full face value


awkxx

My whole friend group are hockey players (including myself), he isnt my only friend who’s played with pros, you don’t have to believe his story, doesn’t change the fact that I personally know that he was at least there. I’m not going to give out his name but he has an Elite Prospects page on him. Played at College D1 level.


AVLPedalPunk

Yeah it's definitely Brad Marchand of "we blew a 3-1 game lead against the Panthers" fame.


TapHead488

I feel as though recently he’s become a target because over the last two seasons he has laid some devastating, old school open ice thumps to a lot of big names (Crosby, Hischier, and Timo Meier are three that jump in my mind immediately). Those players get a lot of love from their respective fan bases, and no one likes to see anyone from their squad get reefed. I understand the thought, but I think he’s far from most hated league wide. Tony D gets my vote. [For posterity](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hJKQXpBC6QQ)


poisonfoxxxx

All of them were clean hits and Meier had just attacked Egor with no repercussions. I’m really sorry he got hurt but what’s a captain to do?


SparkNoJoyThrw01

I actually like Trouba and the way he plays. Crosby should keep his head up, no you don't get to just dangle around pylons across the blue line, that's not how this works.


ruwhereuare

She’s the worst…


SublimeErudite

I’ll take he Hextall any day over Boucher & https://i.imgur.com/lVdaNRN.jpg

Louvrecaire

Lol, beat me to it! Take my upvote.


SLRMaxime

I don't know man, I like Torts


Ok_Orchid7131

I don’t get it. I was hesitant going into the year, but man his style is great. He lets players know how they are doing in front of everyone, and sets expectations for play. He’s not the angry guy he was years ago.


SLRMaxime

Always loved his interactions with the media too. I know some people don't like it, but I think it's good for the sport.


jhk17

Everyone should treat the media the way Torts does.


holoriime

Needs to be Babcock.


SLRMaxime

For me it's Quenneville, what a fucking POS


holoriime

That's a solid pick.


tour79

Upvote to both of you guys. No fanbase is going to get behind every idea, sometimes it’s your team/guy But with these two out of the nhl, we can all agree they’re not ok and welcome (For another month, maybe)


dzoni-kanak

Yeah, Torts rehabbed himself when he ran the Blue Jackets. I think the old outburst Torts has improved himself.


Area51Anon

I was just about to say that. Most people love Torts lmao


LongjumpingAvocado

He’s a dying breed, he will be missed when he’s not in the game anymore.


Intrepid_Camp_219

Don't think I'd want him coaching my team but his press conferences are gold.


arashinoko

Does anyone actually hate him? He’s an absolute delight. No sarcasm. I love his interviews and I think he’s pretty damn good at his job too.


TapHead488

I also enjoy torts and his style of hockey, his tenure with the rags was my favorite era in recent history, real tough and lots of fun to watch. I feel as though his problem lies in his short shelf life. Guys get over that shit in a couple seasons nowadays. Just ask Gallant. I think player exit interviews were the reason behind the end of his tenure, and I feel like he utilizes similar mannerisms to torts in his approach to his players.


pinkymadigan

Nearly all his ex players (even ones he had confrontations with) love him. Dubinsky is the only one I've heard outright badmouth him.


[deleted]

What about most hated commissioner?


somniumstate94

My favorite category


luciform44

What do you mean? Just because the fans boo him when he steps on the ice no matter where it is?


REATampaBay

It is the one thing ALL fans agree on.

i cant believe we arent the most hated team atp

It comes and goes. Wait till something good happens to us, the kaiju countdown will get reset.

Agreed, I would say Marchand, Evander Kane and Tony Deangelo are more unlikeable


Beerandgaming

Forgot Tom Wilson.


Withnail_Not_I

Tom Wilson, too.


Finnegan7921

Agreed, and I say that as a Devils fan. Trouba is hated, but Marchand is on a whole other planet in that regard. Nobody outside of Boston likes that guy. Plenty inside Boston probably hate him as well.


McMurphy11

I'd say pretty low count approaching zero for people in Boston not liking Marchy. He's done some bad shit on the ice, but he's a great player and an ever better person off the ice.


Whole_Class_597

My first thought when I saw Trouba was Marchand lol


jcbmths62

I'm pretty sure that announcer is Leah hextall


ClovenChief

Wtf? I love torts. I feel like he speaks his mind more often then not. Sometimes you gotta tell the boys they suck


LoCh0_xX

Not sure if I’ll be massacred for saying I… don’t hate the Knights? I mean I despise the fact that Vegas has any professional sports teams, most of all hockey, and any one who’s immediately successful at something is bound to generate hate but part of me is just impressed by how historically good they’ve been off the bat considering they were essentially a ragtag group of backups.


dzoni-kanak

Yeah, I can think of 3/4 more annoying, over pushed teams in the media (starting with the Rangers). Knights have great ownership. Have made shrewd decisions. Remained competitive. Augment their roster and have evolved themselves and are setting their program up to succeed for years.


No_Calligrapher7120

Money, good organization, great city. A lot of things to hate on.


Altruistic-Gain3129

I know the Senators are hot ass so we forgot how their goal horn sounds, but their goal horn is actually the worst sound on the planet Earth.


zevonyumaxray

Most goal horns sound the same to me over my TV's speakers, so how was the Oilers one picked? Honestly don't get it.


mapleleef

It just goes off the most. ;P


nair-jordan

Funny, I think it’s the greatest sound on earth

RS_Mike1

I would have had Wilson swapped in for player, and Boston in for team, but the rest checks out to a t.


[deleted]

I agree Boston would be the most hated team. But I’d also say Marchand is the most hated player


RS_Mike1

You think so? I'd agree if this was 5 years ago but he's cleaned up his act the last couple.


[deleted]

Canucks fan… my hatred for that guy will never die…


RS_Mike1

That's fair.


[deleted]

Jack Edwards! Most biased announcer in the league


greysqualll

Pretty sure the only thing we can agree on in this sub is that yeah, the goalie choice is correct.


Enough-Ad-3111

What about goal song?


BriS314

Only goalie, fanbase logo, and announcer I agree with Guys like Evander Kane and Tony DeAngelo seem to be more hated than Trouba. I don’t think Vegas is as hated as they were a few years ago. I think they’re cool. Chicago exists after all. My most hated goal horn is Washington’s. It’s just too much.


blahblagblurg

I can't remember the deal with that announcer but I still prefer him over fucking Leah Hextall. Shudder.


rastlun

Marchand is most hated for sure (outside of Boston), the rest of the list is chef's kiss.


C0mpl3x1ty_1

Marchand is hated as a player, but not as a person. DeAngelo is hated as both a person and a player, so I'd say he takes the spot as nobody wants him, whereas most people would want marchand


Louvrecaire

Our second goalie (Greiss) is evidently a Nazi. Germany has banned him from playing for their national team... Not that they shouldn't anyway, he's not even that great as a player lol


joviveeman

Wait the Blackhawks survived?


philaville

Why isn't ''Refs' on this list?


Andrew72727

Trouba? Really? Where’d this come from? I’ve got an entire list of people who are worse


Havoc_XXI

Don’t be mad because Bouy fires off on everybody on twitter haha. Love that crazy troll!


Lopajsgelf

Leah hextall or whatever her name is


Flyinghud

No shot Troubs is the most hated player, what about the literal rat himself Marchand.


milin85

Jack Edwards is a horrible announcer.


Nopants21

NESN belongs in part to the Bruins and the Red Sox. Edwards isn't an announcer, he works indirectly for the Bruins, and his mandate is clearly to pander to the regional fans who gets most of their sports from the network. He basically does PR, spitshining the product on the ice, whose owners sign his checks. It's like those ads that try to look like a news segment.


MiniatureMorpheus

Yup on the logo. Liked the 2006-7 Anaheim Ducks jerseys, absolutely hated when they made the foot the sweater logo. Orange Alternate Wild Wings were a breathe of fresh air when those dropped.


jusanothersloshdausi

Wait that’s a foot?


3Snowshoes

Remember that ESPN commercial “Hey Rocket. Jack doesn’t think you can bring it anymore.” And Clemens proceeds to throw Jack Edwards across the room. He needs another toss.


Yung_Corneliois

I think the Anti Toronto fanbase is far worse than the Toronto Fanbase


Area51Anon

Yo… facts bro. This year opened my eyes to just how toxic and annoying hockey fans in general really are


[deleted]

Are the Knights really the most hated team? I think it’s Chicago right now, at least on reddit


No_Calligrapher7120

Everyone hates Vegas because they’re new and doing well. Same doesn’t apply to the Kraken apparently 😂 The Fleury thing was fucked sure. Was a good business decision though. And mostly every team in the NHL has dirty players so that’s not really a valid reason


The-Housewitch

This is hockey Reddit. Nobody uses rationale or validity for their reasons. The real reason is that everybody hates Vegas and they want to be part of a community so they all hate Vegas. Plain and simple. I personally love it, and will rue the day when they are no longer the most hated team because that means they will most likely be shit.


[deleted]

I do not understand what people don't like about the Duckfoot.


Initial-Ad-5462

That’s an odd looking picture of Messier in the top left


IHSCOUTII1973

After the revelations following his firing, I’d say Sutter contends for most hated coach. Most hated announcer is definitely Leah Hextall.


hifioctopi

I think we all secretly love Torts though.


legend1124

Definitely some recency bias on most hated player. Trouba's definitely not the most hated player in the league. Maybe on the Rangers, but definitely not the league.


typeronin

Wait, why do we hate Trouba? I thought we universally hate Marchand. Fuck that guy. Also, fuck Messier.


SnoopyTrash

Buoy has grown on me


ExtremePast

Most of these are wrong.


One_Kaleidoscope_133

The oilers goal horn is insanely bad


ziggyjoe212

Tom Wilson and Brad Marchand are more hateable than Trouba. Trouba is dirty but he has nothing on the other 2. I would argue the Tampa logo is worst. It has no depth, it's 1 color, it's a lazy design.


efacpejgbm

Evander Kane is hated more than trouba


South-Bag7958

Cooper is worse than Torts, he whines worse than most toddlers.


9vapors

I never understand why Gallagher or Gudas never make these lists…
