Favorite player on your least favorite team?

[TeslaCoilFan]

All my hated teams are in the Eastern Conference for some strange reason.

Penguins - Carl Hagelin - liked him from his Ranger days
Bruins - Bergeron - just a great all around player/person
Red Wings - Witkowski - liked him from his time with the Bolts, just a regular Joe kinda guy.
Capitals - Ovechkin - just because

Flyers fan and I'm choking back feelings of vomiting just thinking about liking a Pens player, but I can begrudgingly admit that I've always respected and admired the way that Phil Kessel goes about his business. He's a hard guy to hate unless you're in Toronto apparently. I've liked him since he was drafted last in the ASG and had an IDGAF attitude.

Kessel wasn't really even hated in Toronto. The media sure loved to shit on him all the time though. I think when he was in Toronto he was pretty reserved and hated the media. Since he got traded it seems like he's able to be himself more. He never really showed much personality at all in T.o, and with good reason seeing how the media treated him.

For me it's Bergeron on Boston. Got to watch him play a season in junior before he made the Bruins team the next season out of nowhere.
On Montreal it's probably Price.
Andersen on the Sens.
McDavid on the Oilers.
Boeser on the Canucks.

I don't "hate" all those teams, my buddy is a canucks fan so I've got a tiny soft spot for them.

As a Flyers fan it’s hard to be a fan of anyone or anything in Pittsburgh. Probably easier to go with a younger guy that hasn’t done anything other than be really good to piss me off, so I’ll go with Matt Murray. Not the best year last year, but sadly I’m pretty confident he’ll bounce back and have a damn good career.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Giordano for the Flames

 

[TheAngryHank]

Murrys glove hand.

 

[Freedom]

Philly: Voracek. I always like him as a player and as a person

 

[HansonBro]

Hard to place a team at the bottom for me. Maybe Boston lately and i do like Debrusk and McAvoy.

 

[SenzZen]

Marner

 

[Kamiccolo]

I strongly dislike Boston but I hate to admit if Marchand was on my team I would love him.

 

[SlapshotTheMovie]

Brian Boyle. Miss him every day.

 

[HighNote]

The Blackhawks suck.

Until recently I hated Toews the least, but I'd say Kunitz now. He's alright...for now.

 

[Bounces R Way]

McDavid would be a fun player to watch if he wasn't an Oiler. The embodiment of everything the game is moving towards, high speed, great puck skills, and the hockey IQ to go with it. Just wish he was a little less of a stale ham and cheese sandwich off the ice.

 

[Apocalypse Dude]

Mark Stone and Bo Horvat.

 

[Silky mitts]

Letang because he gave up every huge goal last year in the 2nd round

 

[LAINEC]

Pulju. I fear that Oilers ruin him.

 

[member 116861]

Jared Spurgeon

 

[Machinehead]

Brian Boyle is the only Devil I can't despise.

He was a good Ranger and he's been through a lot.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Kopitar

Runner up: Hertl. Man I'd love him to be a Knight.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Philadelphia - Gritty

Washington - Orlov

I agree with Gritty. Best thing to come out of Philadelphia

Washington - Hmm. Holtby maybe? that's a tough one.

 

[SDBondra]

Guentzel

 

[Bouboumaster]

Hate the goddamn Ruins, but Bergeron is one of my favorite players.
Total class act, and he's one of the best in the game, to boot.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Toronto - Matthews/Marner

Bruins - Charlie Mack/Pasta/Chara

 

[Volica]

Leon Draisaitl.
But not with his Deutschland Dangler nickname. That blows. His original nickname, the super offensive one.

 

[Leafsfan13]

Boston - Bergeron
Montreal - price

 

[Filthy Dangles]

can't think of anyone on the devils or islanders i like
