An Apology and a Poll (Most Disliked Player, finished)

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.

To help me out please try and throw in first names for players with common last names, like Gretzky doesn't narrow it down at all. Brent?

No worries at all, we get caught up in these passionate debates and some times it goes overboard on both sides. Real world stress sometimes comes out online I get it...wish you all the best
Oh and the answer is Ryan Kesler

I appreciate the post and hope things are resolving for you. I dealt with some significant harassment years ago and it’s awful

To both of you (and Gio if he ends up seeing this) I know a message like this doesn't always convey properly over a post but I am sorry for how I made you feel. Jiri I hope your experience was nothing like mine, it can really weigh on you.

Yeah, he was always a POS, but after the most recent news about him... Hard to dethrone the guy.
EDIT: Unless this is just strictly on-ice hockey based.

Can we include Flames players on the list. There have been plenty of whipping boys on CP.
