Inspired by the current events transpiring in Ottawa.

I was just thinking about how much I disliked Eugene Melnyk and this got me thinking about how much I also disliked Daryl Katz (the Edm owner).

Of course Rogers and Bell are also very disgusting but I feel like I only hate them because of the telecom situation, not really because of how they run the Leafs, so I don't really dislike them in this context.

Jeremy Jacobs. This guy the nosferatu of the NHL.

Still boggles my mind he's in the hall of fame. Actually it's disgraceful. Like what has he done for the league?

Wild owner, most canadian team owners except Winnipeg, Jacobs, and Kroenke. Pegula looks incompetant but is likeable.

Always thought Katz was a cross between Bono and the Sesame Street bipolar pianist ;)

Bill Wirtz when he was alive was one of the worst, I didn't care for the Hawks but what he did to fans that wanted to watch the game on tv in Chicago was moronic. What a tool.

Eugene Melnyk is such a whiner, if he just disappeared and never showed his face, it'd be better for the Sens to have that quiet owner.

When the rumors came up that he was going to buy the team and there was a video of him at a conference or whatever, he had this smug look on his face that I really hated. It was like "I'm gonna move this team one day the second it goes off track"
I loosened up when I found out he was a local guy.

A better question might be, who are some likeable owners? Katz, Molson, Melnyk all seem like dick heads. Don't follow other teams enough to judge their owners.

Ilitch was a good guy from what I can remember, always gave back to Detroit in some form, Lemieux/Burkle have done wonders for Pittsburgh in various ways, countless others.

JACOBS! I may be heavily influenced by a personal experience last year. It put an end to 3 generations of die-hard Bruins support

Can it be anyone but Melnyk?

Hard to say whether he's a bigger whiner or idiot...there are such great cases for both.

It has to be Melnyk.

The way he runs the organization is awful, and he's super unprofessional whenever he opens his mouth. His constant bashing of Leaf fans and what he says about Penguins players (Crosby being a whiner, the Cooke investigation, stuff after the Crosby slash) are notable examples.
