Who is going to be the most HATED and LOVED player these playoffs?

[Gruyeriev]

Loved: Some unknown player who kicks it up a couple notches.

Hated: Georgiev, but exclusively by Avalanche fans.

Haha. Good point.

I’m hoping beyond our own fan base maybe Manson or Colton stirs the pot. I was thinking… without Kadri or Landeskog who is going to take a run at Hellebuck?

 

[JKG33]

Hero: Skjei
Bozo: Miller

 

[NailsHoglander]

Kaprizov leads Wild to conference final

 

[Ghetty Green]

Canucks:

Unexpected Hero- Garland
Villain- Zadorov

Jets:
Unexpected Hero- Lowry
Villain- Stanley

Oilers:
Unexpected Hero- RNH
Villain- Agreed it’s probably Kane

I'm expecting Lowry to be their most impact full Forward

 

[PettersonHughes]

That’s a solid answer. Love Zads but never count out him doing something really stupid.

Sneaky real villain for the Canucks - Demko’s health. If he comes back and is lights out like earlier in the year they could go far. If he struggles coming back or it’s up to DeSmith they could lose to Nashville

For a guy his size, Zadorov is surprisingly clean, so I have my doubts about him. His headshot on Raymond which cost him 2 games was his only disciplinary action over his career (1 suspension, no fines). If anything, I think Dakota Joshua has sneaky villain potential for the Canucks if he decides to throw his weight around and be a shift disturber, since he plays that rugged game that helps teams succeed. Real villain though, I have my sights on Myers, if he misses his assignment or gets flustered I could see him revert back to Tyler Minors mode a la Bubble, and I'm thankful we have Cole there to rein him in, or he'd be running around like a giraffe with its head cut off.

[Hank Plank]

Hated: Pissy, the guy is a flat out dingus of the highest order.
Loved: Matthews just to make people mad.

 

[Craig Button]

Hated: Refs

Loved: Refs

 

[dalewood12]

Loved: Joe Pavelski
Hated: Corey Perry

 

[Connor McConnor]

Hated has to be Mark Stone

 

[HockeyVirus]

In Leafs land Marner is going to be run out of town. It's been building for a while, if he is anything other than dominant leading the Leafs to a final 4 appearance he is done in this market.

He's just so soft at times. Splitting Matthews and Marner really shows the difference in their abilities to play in physical games.

 

[Sayba]

Hated - Tom Wilson

Loved - Breadman

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Loved: I don't know.
Hated: Nick Cousins.

Came here just to say this. Pretty sure Florida has my favorite players overall, but Cousins is a huge downside.

 

[crump]

Loved: Hyman he’s so universally adorable.
Hated: Aho’s. Cause they are both Aho’s.

 

[VaporTrail]

Most loved Rempke...Most hated Marner

Loved: whoever knocks out the Leafs

 

[Channelcat]

Heel:
Marchand
Pionk

 

[Buck Naked]

Adam Lowry is gonna be the new Phil Danault. The trendiest player to love in the playoffs.

 

[CaptainUgly]

Hated : Max Domi

 

[miscs75]

Good chance we face Anthony Beauvillier in the playoffs after trading him earlier this season for a bag of pucks.

Watch him absolutely light us up out of nowhere.

I hope he does. He was solid for the Isles in both ECF runs.
