No one has done that as far as I have seen.The hate isn't for the player.
He's an electrifying generational offensive defenseman that's worth the price of admission almost every single night and teams are lucky to have him and fans are blessed to watch him.
The hate is for the boisterous opinions that feel the need to suggest every other dman sucks in comparison and shout down any dissenting opinions with insults.
Nope still my favorite D although I will admit it's hard to watch him with San Jose.Paul Coffey was hated too for winning Norris trophies and other reasons. People can either accept there is more than one way to play the position and be recognized, or they can't. Outside of EK65 play on the ice, never heard much negative or concerning issues about the guy.
Everyone who puts up great numbers is compared to Orr, Potvin and Bourque, who were able to play great in both ends of the ice. Even Brian Leetch was suspect in his own end as well.
It's not the player, it's the game. The hate is a much bigger issue than just EK65.
Why do you care? Coaches keeps playing him. I think they know what they are doing.His level of not giving a shit about defending sickens me TBH.
Stop. No he wouldn't.If he was Canadien he’d be considered the GOAT
He won this Norris trophy easily, sorry y’all’s favorite Canadien couldn’t score within 30 pts lmao
The silliness of that statement. It's a pitched debate among Canadians as to whether McDavid is #5, and he's no McDavid.Stop. No he wouldn't.
It's not true. He's as great a poke checker as Lidstrom. In the halcyon Sens days he was a plus whatever. Even on the Sharks at -14 that isn't bad. What is true is he takes risks. As do all the offensive defensemen. Look at Ottawa's run to game 7 OT of the eastern conference finals, and tell me he's bad defensively. He willed Ottawa to that when the Sens had no business being there.I don't think he's hated. People just point out the fact that he doesn't play any defense when he is on the ice. Which is the truth.
Seriously lol. Great explanation here for the difference between “fan” and “Stan”The hate isn't for the player.

Won’t happen but I really hope the Oilers can get him somehow.Exceptional talent and seems to be back to his old form, a bit sad that we won't see him in the playoffs.
its died down some, but definitely earlier in the season I was seeing plenty ofNo one has done that as far as I have seen.
at all, in fact.
most people think EK has had a massive bounce back season and deserves the Norris, and the future belongs to Makar, Heiskanen, Fox, etc.
