After taking a hard hit in the game, Cory Perry clearly has a temper and his entire career has been filled with questionable antics, which is why he now finds himself cut by the Chicago Blackhawks and without a team, the Arizona Coyotes. Dave Manson Dave Manson just played 66 games with the Coyotes in season 9697 and served 164 penalty minutes after previously playing with Chicago Edmonton and Winnipeg. He came to Arizona with a reputation as someone you didn't want to mess with and once racked up 352 penalty minutes in a single season with Chicago.

This guy was so

Over the course of his career, he was suspended three times, twice for shoving a referee and once for biting Scott Stevens' hand, Boston Bruins Brad Marsha, plain and simple, it's not fun playing against Brad Marsha for two Back-to-back seasons, the league voted Brad Marsha the player it least liked to play with, but of course, everyone loves him. of his team of the 626 NHL players who participated in this poll, 36.5% of them voted for Marshon, which is an increase from the 26.4% of the votes Marshon received in 2022, when 566 players were retired by the NHL PA.

Brad Marsha is easily one of the

most

shocking pests the NHL has ever seen in consecutive polls from 2018 to 2020. Marshon ranked first among the best trash talkers and worst trash talkers in the game, so he's clearly a divisive player in the league. Marshon has served eight suspensions throughout his career. career and was recently found to have the maximum amount for a dangerous trip to an opponent, what makes Marshon even more hated is the fact that he is the leading scorer in the league, he is known for his cheap shots, hitting players opponents, licking faces and was once given the nickname little ball of hate from former President Barack Obama the Buffalo Sabers Matthew Barnaby Matthew Barnaby was one of the heavyweights of his era and he was not the one to walk away from a situation in which that a fight could happen during his 14-year NHL career.

He was in 191 fights and in the top 20 on the list of most penalized players in NHL history to sum up Matthew Barnaby's time in the league. He was a loose weapon. One of his most notable moments in the league came at the end of a game on March 29. 1996, when the Sabers faced the Flyers after Barnaby was tackled, a huge fight broke out at the line, players from both

teams

quickly turned on each other, but Barnaby, to most people's surprise, did not was fighting, he was lying in front of the net supposedly injured at that time. The Flyers were going to fight, but when Barnaby lay down injured, he skated over and tickled him with his goalie stick.

This gesture didn't seem so bad, but Gar Snow seemed to have hit the bear. Barnaby made a name for himself as a troublemaker in the NHL and was able to get under everyone's skin because he played against the Calgary Flames Theo flurry Theo flurry always used his physical game to leave his mark on the game at 5 on 6 he was too small to the NHL but used his bravery to always make an impact and Theo Flurry, an admitted alcoholic and drug addict, has made claims about player management and the NHL hierarchy in his book Playing with Fire.

He claims the NHL would not suspend him for failing drug tests because he was the league's leading scorer in a Dec. 28 game against the San Jose Sharks, his addiction affected his on-ice behavior after he received a major penalty and a flurry of game misconduct penalties allegedly broke the rib of the beloved shark mascot during a flurry of hallway confrontation. He later stated that he simply elbowed Sharky, but the story of the altercation has taken on a mythical life of its own as the years have gone by with all the trash he talked to the public about the NHL, no wonder why it is widely seen as one of the most hated players in NHL history, Carolina Hurricanes, tuo, Ru Tomo rutu. a very talented player and most NHL teams would have loved to have him now just because he was talented, that doesn't mean he was a popular player at the end of the day, rutu was a pest, from annoying Nicholas Backstrom to injuring Dennis Weidman He's also completely annoying, known for throwing an elbow, cutting, or doing anything else that gives him a competitive advantage to get into your head on multiple occasions.

Tomo Rutu would unleash thunderous open ice punches that would bend the rule book at times. so it's no wonder why he is the most hated player in the history of the Carolina Hurricanes, the Chicago Blackhawks. Daniel Carcillo's on-ice play has led him to be nicknamed carbomb, which isn't exactly the kind of nickname you'd want as a professional player. Carcillo was drafted 73rd overall. Overall, he quickly earned a reputation around the league as a fighter, a troublemaker, and someone you really wanted to punch. He was suspended several times throughout his career for a variety of stupid reasons, including using physical force against linesmen, like so many bad players who are a part of historic franchises.

Carcillo won two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks in 2013 and 2015 playing 12 games combined in those postseasons Now retired he has stopped being a pest on the ice and founded the Chapter 5 Foundation dedicated to helping players suffering from post-concussion syndrome. Colorado Avalanche Claude Lemieux Claude Lemieux was a good hockey player who occasionally lost control during games. He was a fierce competitor with the Montreal Canadiens and a supreme antagonist when Claude Lemieux lost his cool. He often crossed the line for which Lemieux was well known. His beef with the Detroit Red Wings while he was a member of the Colorado Avalanche all started when he crushed Chris Draper into the boards from behind during the 1995-96 playoffs.

This was without a doubt one of the dirtiest hits in NHL and Lemieux history. received only a two-game suspension, another dirty play Lemieux was known for was when he bit Calgary Flames Jim Pepinsky's finger during another playoff game, Columbus Blue Jackets Jeff Carter now in this specific situation instead of being hated by the opposing team, Jeff. Carter was actually public enemy number one for All Blue Jackets fans. Carter had signed a massive long-term contract with the Philadelphia Flyers in late 2010 and expected to spend the rest of his career in Philadelphia. On June 23, 2011, Jeff Carter was traded by the Flyers to the Blue Jackets for Carter Columbus to send Jacob vorc the 2011 8th overall pick and the 2011 11th round pick to Philadelphia.

Jeff Carter didn't like being traded to Columbus and basically refused to go. It wasn't until Rick Nash visited Carter and convinced him to play that he finally did, so he still wasn't happy. Carter was reportedly difficult to work with in Columbus and then he was sent to the LA Kings after requesting a trade, the Jackets getting Jack Johnson and a conditional. first round pick in exchange for the Dallas Stars Steve in 2009 Sports Illustrated polled 300 NHL players over who was the dirtiest opponent in the league and forward Steve tied for first place with Chris Pronger, which may have surprised fans since he was generally known. as the leader of his team, however, he was suspended more than once by the NHL for incidents such as opening eyes and taking illegal hits to the head, what makes him even more annoying and more hated is that he can do this and still hurt you on the scoreboard as he did in the 2009-20 season when he scored 22 goals for the Detroit Red Wings Bob Probert considered by most to be the greatest enforcer of all time Bob Probert is fourth all-time in penalty minutes with 3,300, He protected his teammates with fierce loyalty serving as an enforcer for the Red Wings and Blackhawks from the mid-1980s to the early 2000s.

In addition to wrestling, Bob Probert was also a talented scorer and had a soft touch during the 1987 88 season, he scored 62 points, which was third best on the team along with 398 penalties. minutes that earned him a trip to the All-Star Game Bob Probert was an absolute force to be reckoned with and often went toe-to-toe with some of the toughest players in the NHL, including Ty dio Wendell Clark, Marty Murley Stu Grimson and Tony Twist the. Linesman Ken of the Edmonton Oilers Now, if your nickname is the rat, there must be a good reason for it. Linesman Ken had a lot of skill and showed it playing with Boston Philadelphia Edmonton and a couple of games with the Maple Leafs Ken Linman rarely fought but still served 1 .7 127 penalty minutes throughout his career mainly for being the biggest pest on the ice Linesman Ken was charged and convicted of assault when he was a junior player and kicked an opponent in the head with his skate on, plus he was also accused of biting during his career. career and was an unpleasant player who was hit with a pair of four-game suspensions in the 1982-83 season due to all of his antics throughout his career.

Linesman Ken was definitely a rat and lived up to his Florida Panthers nickname Dino Cicerelli, the right winger Dino. Cicarelli was another troublemaker who could play great hockey but was also a loose weapon. The Hall of Famer didn't play much time in Florida as he spent most of his career with the Minnesota North Stars and Detroit Red Wings. Cicarelli was another guy who rarely fought, but he still managed to rack up 1,200 penalty minutes. His most infamous incident occurred as a North Star in 1988 at Maple Leaf Gardens when he attacked Toronto rookie defenseman Luke Richardson, in which he was charged and fined $1,000 and sentenced to one day in jail after being Found guilty, the NHL also suspended him for 10 games for his actions and he was also suspended for three games in 1987 for shoving a linesman, the LA Kings, Marty Murley Marty murle.

He scored a career-high 15 goals and added 26 assists for a career-high 41 points during the 1992 '93 season. His point total ranked third in scoring by a defenseman, but you have to remember that This was an era full of blue lines where six hit. 80 points list includes Phil Hesley Paul Coffee Steve Duenne Larry Murphy Ray Bour and Gary Suder Mle's 15 goals were even more impressive, as he was tied for 13th most goals by a defenseman. Marty Murly was one of the League's best offensive defensemen in the 9293rd season, however, despite this, he still played with an edge by recording an astonishing 399 penalty minutes, which ranks fifth all-time. for a single season and is equivalent to 6.65 full NHL games sitting in one box.

Murley's grit and hard hitting helped the Kings greatly in the playoffs, as they reached the Stanley Cup Final, where they lost in five games to the Montreal Canadians. Murly especially helped them beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in the conference finals. He then punched Leaf star Doug Gilmore every time he lowered his head, making him look twice. before skating through the neutral zone, his physical play and his repeated hits on Doug Gilmore agitated the Leafs, particularly Wendell Clark from the 1990 '91 season to the 1992 '93 season. Murle did it all for the La. He received votes for the Selki Trophy and led the league in plus minuses. in the 1991 season and remained among the best offensive defensemen in the League during those years, Miori was a dangerous player on the ice and often let his temper influence his play.

After his time with the LA Kings, he would part ways with the great Wayne Gretzky and eventually lost his offensive prowess towards the end of his career. He became an increasingly dirtier player and eventually made one of the dirtiest plays in NHL history which then ended his NHL career. Minnesota Wild Matt Cook. The Minnesota Wild have been a pretty quiet group since then. Entering the league with Matt Cook as its most notable player, however, most of Cook's dirtiest plays came while he was playing for others.equipment. Matt Cook is known for his low headshots and also for cutting Ottawa defenseman Eric Carlson's Achilles tendon with his Matt Cook skate. he was suspended several times for illegal hits on players and basically ended the Boston Bruins career.

Mark Seard with an unnecessary low shot to the head and to make matters worse, Matt Cook wasn't even suspended for it. The Montreal PK Canadians raise the Norris Trophy. In the only award PK Suban received in 2013, he was also honored with being the most hated player in the NHL, at least according to Sports Illustrated. However, he was now loved by Montreal fans during his time with the club for his physical play and offensive talent. Suban did not receive the same warmth from opposing players during his time in the league. He quickly earned a reputation as one of the biggest villains the league had ever seen. suban definitely made it easy for opponents to hate him. he would score great goals and celebrate.

Right in his face, he would throw big punches at them, but he would turn down fights, trash talk and talk trash while he also took dives towards the end of his time in Montreal. PK Suban ended up fighting with his teammate Brendan Gallagher, which ended up leading to multiples on Ice. altercations PK Subban's personality was too big for the NHL and that is why he is the most hated player in the history of the Montreal Canadians. The Nashville Predators. Jordan Tutu. The former Predators forward. Jordan Tutu was considered a predator by some, literally, as he took advantage of flying opponents. at full speed, leaving his feet and delivering late blows when he connected, he often left his opponents dazed and confused at best and shocked at worst.

Jordan 2u was suspended for five games in 2007 for knocking out Dallas defenseman Stefan Robod with a punch to the head at the same time. Last year he also hit Coyotes Daniel Winck in the head with a shoulder check, but he wasn't even disciplined. Fast forward to 2011 and Jordan Tutu was suspended for two games for charging at Sabers goalie Ryan Miller, New Jersey Devils goaltender Scott Stevens, Hall of Famer Scott Stevens. He's not a cheap shot artist, maybe he was the best inspector the game has ever seen. Stevens would never back down, even if it meant killing a player he didn't already have or who hadn't yet gotten the puck.

Personally, I don't believe Scott. Stevens was a dirty player, but he earned his reputation by dominating those he played against. He was the toughest player on some very good Devils teams, including three that won the Stanley Cup. Scott Stevens played in over 1,600 games and delivered some devastating hits in that time. him, one of the most hated and terrifying players you can ever play against the New York Islanders. Darius casparius Darius casparius was one of the best pests to play with, he was a solid defensive defender and played hard every night, casparius was able to outrun people. skin with his 100% effort on every play, he finished his checks and destroyed anything that moved on the ice, he was a brutal hitter and made people feel his presence, on top of that, he also talked trash, however, the Most people hated him for his brutal hitting which sometimes went overboard some of these hits may have been illegal but it was simply the way he played and he didn't compromise his style for anyone.

Darius Casparius was a tough guy who pissed off a lot of people during his time. In the NHL, New York Rangers Shawn Avery, former Rangers forward Sha Avery had a habit of annoying everyone, even his own teammates. Avery was an unpleasant character both on and off the ice. He was known for trash talking, lunging, throwing punches, late punches, hacking. and turtles in general, he became a supreme Pest on the ice. In fact, he was suspended for six games in 2008 as a member of the Dallas Stars for comments he made about ex-girlfriends. He was also fined by the league for diving.

Suspended by the LA Kings, Avery led the league a couple of times in penalty minutes, but was perhaps even more controversial and hated for his off-ice comments. Ottawa Senators Chris Neil Chris Neil was one of the longest 10-year tough guys the NHL has ever had. seen primarily due to his ability to score points on nights when he is not creating havoc Chris Neil was a true IFI tough guy and took his role very seriously, hit hard and never minded sacrificing his body for the team. Chris Neil was known. By waiting for a player with his head down and attacking, we have seen many times that he is a reckless inspector, but sometimes he just wants to hurt people.

Philadelphia Flyers Chris Pronger Former Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger has a lot of competition when it comes to dirty Flyers players over the years, however, all you need to know about Pronger is that he was suspended for the na on nine different occasions for a variety of dirty plays, the worst was stomping on the ankle of Vancouver's Ryan Kessler with his Chris skate. Pronger was another player known for his cheap shots, regardless of which team he suited up for for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Al Samuelson, former defenseman Al Samson was well known around the league for hitting low and targeting the opponent's knees, one of his most famous victims was former Kanuck and Breu power forward Cam Neely Al Samelson bothered DOI so much during the course of the 1995 season to the point where DOI punched the big defenseman, knocked him out, and gladly served an AME suspension for it.

Al Samson served 2,453 penalty minutes and a couple of short suspensions for stick-related violations San Jose Sharks Brian Marchman Brian Marchman was a hard-hitting defenseman who played with several different teams, however, the problem with Marchan's hitting was While most of them were short and earned a reputation as someone who wanted to make contact with his knees, Brian Marchman often targeted the other team's best players and injured several of them with his blows, including partially collapsing one of the lungs. Mike Gartner was suspended a total of 13 times in his 12 years in the NHL and was a repeater. offender for elbowing and throwing The Seattle Kraken Yanni gourd even at 5'9 and 175 pounds Yanni gourd proves time and time again to be one of the hardest fighting players in the NHL in the current game, he is a leader, a hard worker and is the firebrand for the Seattle Krakens, Yanni Gourd will mix things up with anyone anywhere at any time and does so effectively.

One of his redeeming qualities is that he takes as many penalties from opponents as he takes himself. Every NHL team needs a shaker, a power creator and Yanni Gourd is that guy for the Kraken. For long-time hockey watchers, his behavior is a refreshing throwback Maxim Lapier of the St Louis Blues, despite a fairly mild suspension history, there appear to be only a few hockey players more hated than Maxim Lapier, perhaps either because he is a barker, he is known for talking trash and annoying his opponents. and when called to fight because of his late punches or dives, he would turtle.

Lapier was a troublemaker who did whatever it took to get under his opponent's skin and was generally despised by any team that played against him, the Tampa Bay Lightning, Steve Downey. Forward Steve Downey came to the NHL with a reputation as a dirty player since his youth days. He was able to maintain his reputation upon entering the league, as he was suspended for 20 games before even playing his first regular season game after his suspension. Hit Ottawa Senators Dean McCammond in the head with an illegal hit during the 2007 preseason. 2 2008 Steve Downey was also fined for jumping on the bench during a fight and was also suspended for 20 games while playing in the AHL for cutting a linesman Downey.

He has a well-earned reputation as a dirty player and has been lucky to escape punishment with several cheap shots during his career. Toronto Maple Leafs Tiger Williams. Former Toronto Maple Leaf Tiger Williams was no angel and that is why he is an all-time NHL leader. in penalty minutes with 3,966 or 4.12 minutes per outing in 962 games played in his career now Williams earned a lot of those minutes by fighting, but he often got into fights with guys who weren't known for dropping the gloves. Tiger Williams didn't really care. who you were or what you did, all he wanted to do was solve problems by fighting, making him the most hated player in Leaf history, the Vancouver Canucks, Todd Bruzi, Todd Bruzi is the most hated player in Vancouver Canuck history for instigating one of the most vicious. attacks in NHL history Todd Bruzi assaulted Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore in 2004 in what appeared to be a premeditated ambush that ended Steve Moore's career and the incident was eventually settled out of court about 10 years later Todd bruzi was charged with assault by bruzi also served a 10 game suspension early in the 20012 2002 season for leaving the bench to join a fight, however the steve moore incident was much worse leading to toer tuzi in this video Las Vegas Golden Knights Ryan Reeves For many years Ryan Reeves was known as a ridiculously tough fourth liner who racked up penalty minutes and had hundreds of hits each season, but he didn't regularly cross the line after joining the Golden Knights in the 2018 trade deadline, Reeves' reputation began to change, he was no longer a player who only played a physical type of hockey, but began to find himself in the press for negative reasons, making late hits. to the head and simply dirty plays that left numerous players on the ice and seriously injured.

All you have to look at is the 2021 playoffs to see where Reeves' bad reputation comes from. He took a dangerous hit on former Minnesota Wild defenseman Ryan Sweat. that left him face down on the ice after hitting his head on the net and then followed up with a retaliatory hit on Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ryan Graves, which ended with Reeves ripping a clump of hair from his head. There is a fine line between being a tough player who will defend his teammates and someone who makes plays with the intention of getting injured during his time with the Las Vegas Golden Knights, Ryan Reeves had fallen on the wrong side of that line, The Washington Capitals, Chris Simon, Chris Simon was an unpleasant player who was involved in numerous foul incidents on the ice, he was suspended eight times by the NHL during his career, including a 30-game suspension in 2007, which was the longest of The story at the time the suspension was for stomping on firebrand Yaro Rutu and he was also banned for 25 games after chopping Ryan Halwig on the head.

Chris Simon had a habit of pointing his stick at other players' heads, but on top of that, he was also suspended for kneeling and uttering racial slurs. Chris Simon served a total of 65 games suspended throughout his NHL career with the Winnipeg Jets Evander Kane now, this is another example of a player who was not liked more in his own locker room than in the league during his time in Winnipeg, Not everyone got along in the Evander Kane locker room in particular. He reportedly had problems with several of his teammates during his tenure in Winnipeg, which spanned Four Seasons from 2011 to 2015.

The Atlanta Thrashers were also difficult to deal with according to former NHL forward Nick Anthropov Nick Anthropov, who was a teammate Kane's team member from 2009 to 2013 spoke about their previous encounters, recalling the famous incident when Dustin Bufflin threw Kane's clothes in the team shower according to Nick Antropov Evander Kane didn't listen to anyone so much that Dustin Bufflin threw all of his things in the team hot tub Evander Kane reportedly wore a tracksuit to a pregame meeting while the Jets were on the road in Vancouver in February 2015, which did not meet the team's dress code requirements, prompting Bufflin to confront his teammate and ended up sitting out the game against the Canucks after reportedly missing out. the team bus to Rogers Arena and skipping a pregame workout without notifying his coaches, who finally contacted him an hour before puck drop and informed them he wouldn't show up at the time Anthropov said he tried to show him to C the ins and outs of doing things the right way, but no matter how much he persisted, Kane simply refused to listen, in the end the incident turned out to be the last straw for Kane, causing him to request the trade, something which he did twice during his time with the Jets.
