Which team do you think is the dirtiest?

[Midnight Judges]

Marchand and Wilson make Boston and Washington the favorites here.

yeah but the Caps also have Gudas. That's gotta count for something.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Not enough love for Winnipeg here

Yeah. And plus they don't even pay their chefs on time.

Who are you referencing on Winnipeg? Trouba is in NY and Buff isn't playing. Those are the only two my mind jumps to

 

[TeddyBare]

Rangers

• 1st in "Game Misconduct" penalties
• 2nd in "Misconduct" penalties
• 1st in "Major" penalties
• 1st in penalties taken

Chara gets away with something every time he steps on the ice, so I wouldgo Boston... Not to mention some of the other shenanigan makers on the team.

The whole team.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Rangers

• 1st in "Game Misconduct" penalties
• 2nd in "Misconduct" penalties
• 1st in "Major" penalties
• 1st in penalties taken

Thats because we have a tough team. We don't have a dirty team. I'm not sure we have any dirty players on our team.

The results are feeding my victim complex breakfast lunch and dinner. Go B's you whiners

It's actually hilarious that this poll is as decisive as it is. But it really speaks to a shared reality for so many other teams...that the Bruins always seem to get the benefit of the doubt, and consistently seem to have flagrant infractions overlooked for some reason. It's far too bizarre a phenomenon to be just a weird coincidence or something. That team is just dirty, and they typically get away with it, to an absurd degree.

 

[Sigh]

I wish the Bruins were as dirty as they are in HF's imagination land.

 

[Thenameless]

Well, I guess everyone else is playing for second.

 

[sufferer]

Tampa from my viewings, and it's not particularly close. They remind me a lot of the 2011 Canucks, not that I don't think they can win the cup.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I wish the Bruins were as dirty as they are in HF's imagination land.

Seriously, Bruins barely even hit anymore

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Nashville.

Nashville has the biggest group of crybabies and wusses in the game, but I don't know if they are dirty.

 

[Merrrlin]

Calgary, Boston, Edmonton are all at the top of my list. Basing this mostly on bullshit slashes, dirty hits, and other annoying shit that makes me fume while watching

 

[Tkachuky]

Flames *points at turtle & Gio*

Surprised you can see past Kassbum.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Seriously, Bruins barely even hit anymore

I think most people consider hitting to be a part of the game.

 

[BostonBruins11]

Bruins could have a team full of Marner's / Sedin's... soft as butter and people would still call them the dirtiest team

Ehlers is a total goon.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Vegas imo is one of the most underrated dirtiest teams in the league. Last year in playoffs they were easily the dirtiest. Dunno why Boston is getting so many votes. I've watched probably 20 of their games this year and they really don't play that brand of hockey.

Simple. Look at the teams who are considered rivals, and who the Bruins won against in 2011.

Some very large and active fanbases on here - Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver.

The Bruins have one of their softest rosters in team history even after adding Ritchie and Lauzon recently.

 

[pcruz]

Sure but that's mostly reputation from the Lucic/Thornton etc. days. Sure they have Marchand and a couple more guys who'll give you hard time but they don't really stand out from other teams anymore.

Really?

Backes.
Kurali
DeBrusk

Chara sucker punched Tavares in the playoffs last season and locked him flat on the ice, no penalty. He’s had a few questionable, if not outright suspendable hits this year as well.

Backes isn't even on the Bruins.

You're going to need to cite some examples regarding Debrusk aside from the mythical nonsense against Toronto.

Kuraly??

Chara?? Several outright suspendable hits this year? What aside from the crosscheck is remotely close?

 

[Sigh]

If the standings hold, Tampa wins this poll next year, guaranteed.

You currently employ one of our top 2 "dirtiest" players. The other just took the year off and has a reputation for being dirty because he hit too hard.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

I’d say Tampa. Kucherov one of the low key dirtiest players in the game and Cernak following in his foot steps.

Yeah, the Lighting have a few scumbags. Sergachev, Kucherov, and Hedman come to mind
