What's Dougie ever done to you?

What's Pet ever done to you?

What's..... the rest are fair to be honest

Pet is a filler, if he's a Flames fan I could think of why...he's not a Flames fan

why Byron

Byron is such a lovable player. He's one of our biggest fan favorites here

Why JT? Why Sidney Crosby?

Ya, those 2 are like my 2 favs. And why on the earth is Gardiner on here over Hamilton. You are perfectly entitled to your own opinion, but I am just trying to understand it.

Dougie was money crazy which is why the bruins didnt sign him and traded him instead. (of course now it seems like a steal considering the salarys jumped a huge amount in the past 5 years, but at the time, a .5 PPG Offensive Dman wasnt worth nearly 6 million, crazy right)



Crosby is a great player, but everyone knows he is a sissy, people dont like him because he is so soft and complains about everythin

JT is a snake. He left the Islanders to play in Toronto for money. Hockey isnt about money. Just stay where you were drafted, accept that 9 million $ is a lot of friggin money, and show the fans that love you why you play, stay where they showed you love and gave you their hearts.

I just can’t understand hating Crosby.

I can understand not liking Dougie. He plays the game the wrong way.

Poor Holzer

As a Canes fan, I cannot disagree more.

As a bruins fan, who got to watch the first three years of his career, and then got to see the bruins make a horrible horrible trade involving him, and then got to see how laughably soft he was in the playoffs last year, i think you’re lying to yourself.

He doesn’t play winning hockey, unless you’re talking about draft kings. He’s awesome in draft kings. Against the bruins in the playoffs, every time he was on the ice i thought the bruins were going to score. Thank god for Slavin or the canes would be hooped.

Merk has never played a game for the sharks. I figured Kane would be far more hated.

I honestly don't even hate him just no one else I dislike. Kane I liked in Buffalo so...

I don't really "hate" Crosby. I hate how much he kicked our asses in the playoffs. Kinda correlates imo.

I don't really have to explain Tavares. Crosby just because his performance against the NYR and how I gained some animosity watching him score goal after goal. against us then.

Little overrated and don't really dislike anyone else

I’m a Kane fan too. Good to know another one on here because most people hate him in these parts.

Yeah, pretty disappointed when they traded him but I love Skinner so I'm complacent with it now ig.

"What has my team's players done to you but everyone else on here can disregarded"

I could not disagree more again. Analytically, Slavin was the weak link on that pairing in the playoffs. I think what you saw in Boston is bluring your vision of what you see now. He's one of the best all around defenders in the league. He's better defensively (analytically) than Josi, he's better offensively than anyone (analytically) and in transition, he's in a league of his own (analytically) and stats don't lie. What he was as a kid is one thing, but he's not that now. I'm capable of looking at someone and showing you where they're bad, I have had many a rant about Joel Edmundson for it, but Hamilton doesn't have those holes.

Basically....

Ya ya ya stop. I was a huge dougie Hamilton fan when he was in boston, because he was an offensive oriented second pair guy. He still is. Whenever you say, “analytically,” ask yourself the following question: Am I speaking about an NHL defenseman. If that’s the case, don’t complete your sentence about analytics because it means nothing. Dougie Hamilton was an embarrassment in that bruins series. Slavin was a stud. Dougie Hamilton was the worst player on the ice for either team in that series. He was scared. He was soft. He was disinterested. Re-watch those games. Every bruin went so far out of their way to dump the puck in his corner. Dougie can work on the canes because they have two awesome all around d men in Pesce and Slavin, but if he’s a teams number one d man, that team is not winning anything of importance.

Stop stop stop. When you start to ignore stats, you can stop valuing players. Hamilton analytically is one of the best D men in the NHL, and even without the Analytics, he's a stud. You need to stop looking at him from a 4 game sample size in which our entire D core turned into pumpkins. Hamilton is a stud in both zones, and it's clear you don't A) Watch him enough B) pay attention to enough stats. Analytics give you values for everything that happens on the ice, and he is the best D man in the league in terms of them. Just remember that when you keep saying he's not good.
