I also wonder how the Draisaitl vs Fleury matchup will play out. Obnoxious opponent from your biggest rival vs a very well liked player of the flames who took a major turn as a heel post hockey career.
Anyone who votes Fleury over Pissy needs to turn their Flames fan card in.

Thanks for putting this together Bagger, brings some fun to the board during an otherwise boring time, especially for Flames talk!
I will say though there were a few brackets I didn't vote on because I'm too young to have seen either of the guys play. So if you're seeing some skewed numbers between brackets in this round it's probably other people following my method.
Thanks, and you’re welcome. These polls have always been about entertainment and discussion so feel free to vote however you wish, even if that means skipping a bracket. I (personally) vote on every bracket by going with my gut. There’s no right or wrong way here.
There was, it blew up into dozens of pages in a very short period and got shut down due to some people taking it too far (hey it wasn’t me this time!). The thread was locked but the poll did finish with fairly low participation.
That thread is a laugh. Can’t believe I missed the whole thing (I think we were on the road RVing at the time so probs wasn’t paying attention at all.)
i too found some of these hard to. choose and some were obvious. I would be curious, but not willing to the work, to have a straight up poll, with the least hated as a 1 and the most hated as a hundred and then see where the rankings play out. Not sure if there is a site that would do that but that would be interesting as well. Thanks again Paper. This is fun.

That's a couple of heavyweight tilts right off the hop!
Why the hate for Benn? I don't recall anything specific about him to dislike, other than playing for Dallas.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
Dirty as hell on the ice. Dbag off the ice. punchable face.
probably my least favourite active player, and by a fair margin. Pissy would be next
mmmmkay. Nothing like Marchment, Sameulson, Kesler or Lemieux for the on-ice dbaggery though

My Fleury dislike runs really deep. But it's all post-hockey based. IMO he was the most talented Flame ever. So, I struggle with how to treat it.
I voted Fleury too and probably for similar reasons. I also think with everything that’s happened to him and the resulting drug and alcohol issues I can understand a lot of his problems. While Draisaitl is whiny and annoying Fleury turned out a lot worse.

Fellow Benn haters, Was it a flame who he continually pushed the butt end of his stick into their face while they were on the ice?? Maybe it was his blade. Can’t find the clip.
For my very first live game in the Saddledome, a splurged for a ticket behind the players bench and ended up sitting right behind Boogaard who stood the whole game and maybe played like 3 shifts. I couldn't see jack #### the whole game. He was a big man.

You should have just yelled at him and told him to sit down. Then lean over the glass and maybe pour a beer on him. That probably would have worked out swell.
Kesler and it’s not even really that close for me. That guy is the biggest ######bag both on and off the ice, I think I have a high degree of respect for opposing players, and the game in general, but zero respect for Ryan Kesler. He can suck it
A lot of those guys I don't even hate. Kesler though, he's probably #1 for me. Evander Kane right behind, or even more hated if you count off ice stuff
