Most Hated Players...

Off the top of my head, I believe the 4 players I hate the most in the NHL are (in no particular order)...

Chris Simon (although I liked him as a Ranger)
Rick DiPietro
Chris Pronger
Martin Brodeur

And this April, all is right with (my end of) the world. Simon is being sat in the playoffs in favor of seven-goal scorer Aaron Voros. Rick DiPietro can't even play golf because his hip is injured. Okay, I made that up, but it could be true. Translation: He has no second season. Marty the Overrated has given up 2 goals in 2 games to Sean Avery, and Chris Pronger, he of an unstoppable defense, was on the ice for 3 of Dallas's goals in Game 1 and has been on the ice for 2 of Dallas's 5 goals tonight. 

Quick note on Brodeur: When the Devils win, it's because of him. When they lose, it isn't his fault. Just ask him! When the Devils beat the Rangers, it's because he outplayed Lundqvist, and it's extra sweet because of who they defeated. When the Rangers go 7-0-1 against the Devils (or 1-4-3, depending on who you are a fan of), it's because the Rangers got lucky, or it just doesn't matter, because it's the regular season and only playoffs matter. 

When the Rangers beat them in the playoffs on goals he lets in, he blames the offense for not scoring. Hey, Marty. You play on the Devils. Your team hasn't been scoring for 10 years. Now, you just happen to be facing a goalie better than you.
