I've looked back and didn't find a thread about this.
Which Hab have you hated the most and why? Or maybe, if "hate" is too strong a word, who has disappointed you the most or someone you just couldn't stand?
There could be more than one and it could be a player or players from another era or several eras. It could be someone who played in your lifetime or someone you looked into from another era.
The "worst" for you can be someone who has some qualities but perhaps didn't put in effort consistently. Or, someone who you couldn't relate to for some reason or who drove you nuts cause he seemed to get preferential treatment from the coach or the GM.
Or it could be someone who produced in meaningless games, or who was an early season producer and then disappeared for months. Or who you kind of liked as a Hab but you really hated when he wore another team's colors. Or who flat-out disappeared in the playoffs or who was a shameless diver and faker and it embarrassed you as a fan of the team.
Or still, could even be someone who was consistently orbiting the planet like Rene Bourque:
A site attempted a list of the worst Habs, a couple of years ago: Top 15 Worst Montreal Canadiens Players Ever
It could also be someone you hated from the get-go, that the Habs landed in a trade and who you had a strong feeling that it wouldn't work out: Montreal Canadiens: Five Worst Trades of the Last Decade
Or, it could also be a draft bust: Montreal Canadiens Worst 5 Draft Busts During the 2000’s
Maybe someone who was picked ahead of several other much better players who had meaningful careers but the Michael Busto they went for, has always drawn your ire since he continues to be a reminder for who they passed over or perhaps, it was a high pick that just disappeared.
Yet again, it could be a player you used to like but who became long in the tooth, unproductive or lazy in the latter part of his career when he was getting ice time on account of past services rendered, reputation or coach's preference. Maybe his worst years drove you to hate the guy despite his better earlier career. Or maybe, he never produced as a Hab and he was both underperforming and grossly overpaid.
So who's the Hab player you've really despised and why? Or perhaps several players.
Please let's leave out any race and/or language-related comments or any reasons that violate or may be interpreted as infringing this site's rules.
And let's keep it to players only, not GMs, nor coaches nor anyone else who was or is known for his work while wearing a suit.
