There no doubt a top 3 hate team ..... if we get Montreal'd by the goon squad on saturday though im going to ****ing snap
I've always hated the Penguins... Not gonna lie, even before the injuries to our guys, its just something about the organization and the fact the League bums them...
I've never hated the Leafs. They hate us way more for some reason. Our rivalry isn't even relevant.
**** the Pens now though. They've been one of my most hated teams since 2008/09, now it's reached an all new high.
Penguins fans are also some of the most ridiculous in the league.

I'm sorry, but I hate the Habs the most. Then the Leafs.
Cooke's play was an accident, and not intentional.... consensus by everyone. Plus, I like Crosby so I can't hate them. If he gets traded or injured, yeah, screw Pittsburgh.
(and I love Karlsson as a player!)

I don't hate the Penguins and never have, yes they have Cooke, but I won't hate a team for one player. Yes they have been lucky to get Lemieux AND Jagr AND Crosby AND Malkin, but anyone could have got lucky in Pit's case they got relatively few cups. If we had playoff series that actually had intensity I might (the two 5 game series weren't close, or intense)

Pittsburgh is an easy team to dislike. Crosby and Malkin are generational talents but are also huge *****s that get away with lots of cheap shots during games because of their reputation.
Then there's Cooke, Kennedy, Orpik, Adams, Kennedy, Armstrong and Talbot (before), and Letang at times...
Add in one of the most biased fanbases in the NHL and the fact that they knocked the Sens out of the playoffs 2 of the last 3 times the Sens made the playoffs and they're easily my most hated team now.

The Sens might be my team but I also love the Penguins because I love hockey. Crosby and Malkin are just a joy to watch. Period.
There's a case to be made that the Penguins are bigger rivals. We've played them in the playoffs 3 times versus the Leafs 4. We likely have just as many historical injuries against them. Oh and I've always thought Pittsburgh was one of the most overrated hockey markets in the NHL. They would have gone the way of the Hartford Whalers or Minnesota North Stars if they had not tanked to draft a superstar.... twice.

considering that cooke and family run a foundation to help poor disadvantaged people,
why does he keep destroying the careers of star players?

Since the series against the Flyers last year, I've lost a lot of respect for the Pens. And to make matters worse, I know that a healthy team from Ottawa is as good or better than they are right now...or maybe they're still a year away, but it's coming.
Pittsburgh is starting to take the hate mantle from Toronto in my books simply because a) there is a history now and b) they are tough to beat. TO has been a joke of a team since the salary cap was introduced and I honestly don't think things will improve too much in the next 5 years.

Cooke should of been banned long time ago. but from a bruins fan most of us have no ill thoughts toward Ottawa but we feel your guys hate. Anywaz welcome to the dark side. Sorry cooke had to strike again... and it happened to another talented player but at least it looks like your gonna get him back. thats the silver lining.

Rangers fan. Hate the Pens. Malkin is one of the dirtiest players in the league. He could and should have been suspended on a number of occasions. Cooke a complete *******. The league is always giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Look at 1:29 to 1:32, Cooke is trying to strike Wings goalie, Chris Osgood, with his skate! But, few people on here other than Sens fans think that his swipe of his skate on Karlsson was intentional?!? No chance at all, you say?
Look at how many stars on other teams he injuried! He knows how to target certain players. Even if you think it's not intentional, it does seem like it could have been. The replay shows a very peculiar 'pin' of a player against the boards.
This doesn't make me dislike the Pens, however. Not at all. But, Cooke has a history of being a cheapshot artist and I don't understand why Pens fans make excuses for him or don't criticize him at all.

Mario complained that the league needs to do something about the thug tactics employed by some teams in the NHL. Of course, he said that when the Islanders didn't take any bull from the Penguins and the Penguins ended up getting their ***** whipped, and, ironically enough, Cooke threw an elbow against McDonagh when playing against the Rangers just a few days later.
You guys should count your blessings: at least they aren't division rivals. When you have Rangers/Devils/Flyers/Islanders fans coming together and agreeing on something, you know there is something amiss.

Well maybe we'll wait until next year when Karlsson is skating again to count our blessings, but you're dead on about the unanimous feelings toward Cooke in Atlantic division.
I am now fully on-board the hate-wagon.

The team just kicks the crap out of us. We kinda got some revenge last season with a couple of blowouts, but they beat us twice in the playoffs (including one complete embarassment) and lately we can't escape a game without losing a top player. Plenty of reason to hate them.
I like Crosby and Malkin too. Nothing against them at all. The team as a hole is the bane of the Senators on-ice existence.
