I would like to sincerely apologize to a handful of posters, and to the rest of the board as well. Many of the things I’ve written have been downright nasty and offensive. That is not who I truly am, and I take full responsibility for how I’ve presented myself here. I know I am better than what I’ve shown.

I also want to apologize specifically to Dino, Gio, and Jiri. I was especially harsh toward you, and I am truly sorry.

Without going into too much detail, my family and I have recently dealt with a significant level of harassment. I am not sharing this to seek sympathy, but to say that if I’ve made anyone feel even a fraction of how that experience made me feel, that is not okay. This board was not making me a better person and I was not making this board a better place. So, once again, my sincerest apologies.

There was one thing I wanted to do and I wanted to save it for the dog days of summer but I'd rather do it now. I wanted to see out of all the players in the history of the NHL who was CP's most disliked player of all time.

It will be a 32 person bracket poll like my other ones with a nomination period of a few days / a week and then each bracket will take a few days. The brackets will be randomized and no players will be seeded.

I hope everyone can enjoy the poll and that it generates some good discussion. Lastly I am sorry.
