Low Key Dirty Players

[LMFAO]

The Duncan Keith thread

I can see why fans would hate Ekholm, Subban, or Forsberg, but what the hell did Fiala do?

Daniel Briere

This is easy... Zuccarello

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Wayne Simmonds.

Getzlaf and Kesler are two of dirtiest players that go unnoticed by referees. Is that low key dirty?

 

[Howie Hodge]

How many times per year is this same exact thread made?

As many times as it gets responses.

No different than the redundant trade proposal threads.

Spoiler Alert** It's going to keep happening....

Do Maroon, Kesler, M. Tkachuk, Kadri count? And Marchand?

Or you want an silent assassin? Nurse and Larsson can be pretty nasty.

Kadri is a complete biotch and I hate him.

BUT; I'd take him on my team any day.

Not a low key player but fans seldom discuss how Ovechkin might be one of the dirtiest players in the NHL.

Max Pacioretty is super dirty and I'm not sure he's recognized as that. Retired but it always bugged me that Erik Cole wasn't recognized as being a dirty player (maybe because he was the type to run you from behind then apologize).

Mikko Koivu

I'm a Pens fan.



No argument but he's not as bad as Malkin.



Malkin can lose his mind and do stupid, dirty things.

They both put up with more than most so I understand the retaliation and don't personally mind it. Gordie Howe was a hero for stuff like this. I'm not sure why Crosby is a villain for striking back every now and then.

It's a different game now.

Malkin for sure. And in the interest of fairness I will also offer up Oshie. He's not going to hit anyone's radar as a dangerous player but getting to watch him nightly the last few years I've seen plenty of little annoying things he does out there to piss guys off, which is why he gets beat on so much. You might say that's more of a "pest" but he also brings the big hits that add to the taunting nature of his behavior.

 

[McDLT]

I came to say Malkin - Probably the best player that i would consider to be "low-key dirty". I would also say that the Claude Noel era Jets had a general team strategy of being as dirty as they could without getting caught.

People rarely talk about what a slimy thug Cody McLeod is.

Filip Forsberg

He's more unnoticed for his diving tendencies tbh. I remember one Ducks/Preds playoff GDT where I think one of the Ducks slightly embellished and fell a little too easily and the Ducks got a powerplay and fans from all teams were howling page after page about how pathetic that dive was. Then they completely ignored when Forsberg acted like he got shot in the face and dropped like a corpse when Bieksa waved his stick a foot from his face making no contact at all.
