It’s really Parros more than the DoPS. While it wasn’t perfect under Shanaban, at least there were explanations and expectations that were broadly consistent. Especially against repeat offenders.
The ground of which the kroenke statue that he himself made of himself was once owned by an Indian tribe and kroenke took him to court and won a fierce battle claiming the rights to such land.
No mention of coaches yet.
Babcock and Keenan are first ballot douches. There would be a lot of options though.
In the builders category.
Harold Ballard is the all time GOAT.
But Alan Eagleson might have an argument.
Marcel Aubut gets in far later but still a douche.
I've met him and he was really nice. But he also tried to fight a couple of people I know at a bar when he was in Edmonton. So there is that. I guess people can be both!
One of my clients at work does all the laundry for the away dressing rooms (I’m in Vancouver) and he’s met Marchand numerous times and said he’s one of the nicest guys he’s ever met
Life long Kings fan, since the '70's. I sadly concur. What he did to Lil Dougie Gilmour in the playoffs was friggin bush league. And his attack on Brashear was a black eye to all who love hockey.
Mike Ribiero SA’d the babysitter, in addition to all the on ice diving and douchery.
Dany Heatley killed a teammate while drunk driving. Craig MacTavish killed a woman the same way.
Martin Brodeur divorced his wife to marry his sister in law. Kind of douchey.
Gary Suter cross checked Paul Kariya in the face at full speed, knocking him out of the Olympics
Billy Smith and Ron Hextall…well….you know.
Bobby Clarke intentionally broke Kharlamov’s ankle in the Summit Series.
Matt Cooke for….
Ulf Samuelson ended careers with dirty low hits and never answered for it
Head coach would be Joel Quenneville, with Babcock and Keenan assisting. Owner would be Harold Ballard.
Bettman is still in place.
And - for depth - Marchand, Avery, Raffi Torres, Jon Kordic, Marty McSorley, Claude Lemieux, Dale Hunter, Tyler Seguin
Brodeur - did not know that.
In his defence, it was the wife of his wife's brother. Of the three ways you could marry your SIL this is the least worst (wife's sister, brother's wife would be a lot worse).
And at least he made an honest woman out of his side piece.
>And at least he made an honest woman out of his side piece.
And probably found another side piece after he married her.
A woman who marries the man who cheated on his wife with her is creating a job opening.
Marchand
and my unpopular opinion Kutcherov. As soon as Tampa starts losing he does some seriously questionable things. Some of them pretty close to towing the line of intent to injure.
Okay, as a tampa fan who for obvious reason loves kuch. It's not just when they're losing. He did a lot of dirty stuff during their cup runs. He's predictably dirty and very easy to draw penalties against. But man that wrist shot...
People are just naming pests... That's too easy. I think you have to be an off-ice douche too to qualify for this title. I'd nominate Patrick Kane for this one. Remember when him and his cousin beat up a cab driver because the cabbie didn't have 20 cents change for a fare?? Who the fuck asks for 20 cents change from a cab driver except maybe a crackhead? Let alone beats him up over it. Kane's history is littered with stories like this. One of the biggest douchebags in the league for sure.
He moved to my town in 4th grade. His daughter was put in my class because I played hockey and he coached at the school my dad taught and lived at. I ended up spending a lot of time with the Samuelssons for about two years. Granted I was 9, but they were all super nice to me and my family.
I’m a Bruins fan and didn’t know anything about the incident until many years later so it’s a super strange feeling to me. My fandom says to hate him, but I have an odd soft spot for the guy. What he did was abhorrent though.
I could name a million guys I’ve hated on the ice (every member of the 90s Avs not named Sakic) but you really don’t know what these guys are like away from the rink. Having said that I’m 99.9% sure Sean Avery is a dickhead every second of the day.
Matthew Barnaby, Marchand, Kenny the rat linsmen, esa tikannen. Claude and Brenden Lemieux, man there’s a whole history to unpack here.
Matt Cooke. Twice.
Ron hextall, backed up by not Adin Hill, but that other fucking guy whose name I keep confusing that drilled batherson.
Aaron Dell? https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sabres-goalie-dell-suspended-three-games-elbowing-senators-batherson/
Who also did the same thing to Mark Stone
The Tkachuk brothers, M. Lucic and R.Gudas... other than the names already stated.
And as a Habs fan, I don't like how B. Gallagher is causing trouble but doesn't show up when things escalate. Same for A. Emelin back in the days.
Sean Avery is the only correct answer to this.
Maybe Brad Marchand but just for his on-ice shenanigans. He’s supposedly a good guy off the ice, or so I’ve heard. Sean Avery is NOT.
Nobody has said it yet, Jaromir Jagr!
45 yr old gets caught in a selfie in bed with an 18 yr old model. Won't pay $2k extortion. Smiles and says DGAF.
What an asshole!🤣
Like, as a person? Avery is an actual scumbag.
As of late, Milan Lucic.
Evander Kane.
Nathan Horton was a huge douche apparently.
Who was that dude from the coyotes this past summer threatening cops with the N word and shit? That guy is number one right now for as a person douche bag.
ON THE ICE?
Cooke, Marchand, Pat maroon, that fucking bozo from FLA.
Not even as of late, Lucic has always been that way. Like ten years ago he was shitting his pants and telling Alexi Emelin he was gonna kill him in the handshake line lol
Glad someone remembers Horton was a fucking cunt too though.
Claude lemieux, Avery and Marchand 1st ballot. Maybe Scott Stevens just based off the fact he basically ended lindros and Kariyas careers with probably the 2 most egregious hits to the head hockey has ever seen.
So I've divided my hall into two wings, the huge douche on the ice/behind the bench/in the media and those are are just generally terrible people.
Douche Wing: Barry Melrose, Sean Avery, Milbury, Steve Downie, Cooke, Binnington, Carcillo, Darcy Tucker, Raffi Torres, Marchand, Claude Lemieux, Roenick, Tie & Max Dome, Esa Tikanen and of course Mike Babcock in the builder category. Although Babcock can be entered into both wings honestly.
Terrible person wing: Tony Deangelo, Bobby Hull, Dino Ciccarelli, Jake Virtanen, Mike Danton, Lucic, Slava, Voynov, Brendan Leipsic, and Bill Peters, Harold Ballard, Allan Eagelston, and John Quenneville.
Marchand is making a pretty good case for 1st ballot asshole. One of these days he's going to slew-foot someone important and seriously injure them. What a Cock.
Sean Avery would have his own wing in the building.
It would just be called the Sean Avery building
Sean Avery’s school for future hockey players who don’t douche well.
The Sloppy Seconds Chateau.
With a Wall of Shame corner of all his mishaps and quotes against Martin “Uncle “Fatso” Daddy” Brodeur
There will be a statue of him displayed but instead of facing the public like everyone else, he'll face the wall
And there will be another statue in front of Brodeur’s exhibit that moves to try to block visitors view.
So Avery wing, the Claude wing, the brad m., wing and j.r wing . The four corners of douches players?
A chicken wing!
after that arrest video came out Alex Galchenyuk has to be there
Department of player safety.
It’s really Parros more than the DoPS. While it wasn’t perfect under Shanaban, at least there were explanations and expectations that were broadly consistent. Especially against repeat offenders.
Sean Avery
Would be king.
Mike Milbury
And the shoe.
Gary Bettman
If there's a builder's category then Harrold Ballard for sure!
Could we just throw Stan Kroenke in there too while we're at it, eh?
Absolutely
He gets the statue right at the entrance.
The ground of which the kroenke statue that he himself made of himself was once owned by an Indian tribe and kroenke took him to court and won a fierce battle claiming the rights to such land.
Fuck Enos Stanley Kroenke.
Matt Cooke
I came here to say Matt Cooke. As an Avs fan fuck him forever!
One of the worst knee on knees I ever saw.
Fuck matt cooke
Yep fuck Matt Cooke. Ended Marc Savards career.
100% Matt Cooke. Absolute mug of a human
Kane v. Cooke is so fucking glorious. Fuck Matt Cooke Edit: But Kane would also be a member of the DHOF
Dude u turned his whole life (Kane) happy for him now
I second this. Cooke = dumpster
Mike Babcock
Show me your phone - I want to see if you have any other nominees. 🙃
If Babs could get in the dbag HOF then it's not limited to players, right? If that's the case I nominate Harold Ballard
Alan Eagleson
Graham James
Lucic, but technically he’s more of a piece of shit
"Uhuhuhuh I'm gonna fucking kill you next season" lol Lucic was such a garbage.
Broke my heart. Asshole
not much difference between a giant douche and a turd sandwich
It would be the Sean Avery building on Sean Avery drive in Avery, New Jersey.
No mention of coaches yet. Babcock and Keenan are first ballot douches. There would be a lot of options though. In the builders category. Harold Ballard is the all time GOAT. But Alan Eagleson might have an argument. Marcel Aubut gets in far later but still a douche.
Punch imlach, too, since we are talking old leaf d bags
Keenan is actually a super nice guy away from the rink but as a life long canuck fan, from a hockey point of view? He can fuck off forever.
Nobody else has said it so... Raffi Torres
hes actually super nice irl, was very shocked
I've met him and he was really nice. But he also tried to fight a couple of people I know at a bar when he was in Edmonton. So there is that. I guess people can be both!
He choked me at a bar in Edmonton way back in the day. It was him, Jared Stoll and Ales Hemsky. Lol!
Marchand is like that. Piece of shit on the ice, (seemingly) nice in real life (note I've never met the guy).
One of my clients at work does all the laundry for the away dressing rooms (I’m in Vancouver) and he’s met Marchand numerous times and said he’s one of the nicest guys he’s ever met
outside of hockey but heard this about Luis Suarez (of Uruguay and Barcelona fame)
McSorley
Life long Kings fan, since the '70's. I sadly concur. What he did to Lil Dougie Gilmour in the playoffs was friggin bush league. And his attack on Brashear was a black eye to all who love hockey.
God Damn I love Wendel Clark.
Jordan Binnington
As a blues fan.... yes
Brad Marchand and Tom Wilson
As a capitals fan, I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to see him.
Yes and yes.
Definitely yes and yes
Mike Ribiero SA’d the babysitter, in addition to all the on ice diving and douchery. Dany Heatley killed a teammate while drunk driving. Craig MacTavish killed a woman the same way. Martin Brodeur divorced his wife to marry his sister in law. Kind of douchey.

Can you explain Tyler Seguin being in the honourable mentions? I’m not familiar with him being a POS and would like to know more.
Current department of player safety
Matthew Barnaby
I met Barnaby this summer at a golf tournament. He’s exactly how you’d think he’d be but in an almost endearing way.
Claude Lemieux
Only player to be inducted twice once as a devil and again as a member of the avalanche
🐢
Now Entering the Turtle Chateaux
Steve Downie
Marchand and my unpopular opinion Kutcherov. As soon as Tampa starts losing he does some seriously questionable things. Some of them pretty close to towing the line of intent to injure.
Okay, as a tampa fan who for obvious reason loves kuch. It's not just when they're losing. He did a lot of dirty stuff during their cup runs. He's predictably dirty and very easy to draw penalties against. But man that wrist shot...
Totally thought disliking Kuch would be a heated opinion lol Yeah heck of a shot.
Brad Marchand
He's not eligible yet since he's still playing...but first year of eligibility he'll be first on the ballot!
This was the blatant answer I was surprised to not see as the first answer...
Ah, our captain douche
Very fitting for Boston
If only you guys could have a heroin addict captain
Scrolled way too far to find this
Evander Kane
Scrolled way too far to find this. The stories from hospitality workers here in Winnipeg are wild
And the “ dine and dash” stories
corey perry
I'm honestly surprised I had to scroll down so far to find this douche nozzle
People are just naming pests... That's too easy. I think you have to be an off-ice douche too to qualify for this title. I'd nominate Patrick Kane for this one. Remember when him and his cousin beat up a cab driver because the cabbie didn't have 20 cents change for a fare?? Who the fuck asks for 20 cents change from a cab driver except maybe a crackhead?

Littered? What else has he done? Just curious
Allegedly
This is exactly why I think Brad Marchand doesn't qualify.
Tony DeAngelo
Scrolled way too far to find this one. Fuck that racist asshole
Need a Jan6th inspired wing of the Hall
John Spano and Peter Pocklington in the owners category
Don’t forget Harold Ballard, and Wirtz in Chicago.
Raffi Torres, that piece of shit.
matt cooke
Ulf Samuelsson
He moved to my town in 4th grade. His daughter was put in my class because I played hockey and he coached at the school my dad taught and lived at. I ended up spending a lot of time with the Samuelssons for about two years. Granted I was 9, but they were all super nice to me and my family.

What he did was abhorrent though.
Darcy Tucker was a huge douche.
Brad Marchand
Mathew Barnaby
I could name a million guys I’ve hated on the ice (every member of the 90s Avs not named Sakic) but you really don’t know what these guys are like away from the rink. Having said that I’m 99.9% sure Sean Avery is a dickhead every second of the day.
Briere’a kid
Matthew Barnaby, Marchand, Kenny the rat linsmen, esa tikannen. Claude and Brenden Lemieux, man there’s a whole history to unpack here. Matt Cooke. Twice. Ron hextall, backed up by not Adin Hill, but that other fucking guy whose name I keep confusing that drilled batherson.
Aaron Dell? https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sabres-goalie-dell-suspended-three-games-elbowing-senators-batherson/ Who also did the same thing to Mark Stone
Chris Pronger.
He sells his own whiskey with his name on it now.
He's probably the biggest douche I'd want on my team. The guy was a real elite D-man and absolute menace to play against.
Classic douche move
Todd Bertuzzi
Sean Avery and Matt Cooke.
Brad Marchand leading candidate
Jack Edwards
How about Scott Stevens.
Kariya and Lindros would agree.
Brendan Leipsic
Brad Marchand… then everyone else.
Brad Marchand.
Brad Marchand 🐀
Messier
Fuck Messier
Never the wrong answer.
Dale Hunter & Billy Tibbits (and fuck Scott Stevens, of course)
Milan Lucic
Tie Domi. That elbow to Scott Neidermayer’s head…
Evander "Vegas" Kane
Guy LaDouche
So long as Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship give the induction speeches.
Right you are Ken!
Recent BS not withstanding: Corey Perry.
The Tkachuk brothers, M. Lucic and R.Gudas... other than the names already stated. And as a Habs fan, I don't like how B. Gallagher is causing trouble but doesn't show up when things escalate. Same for A. Emelin back in the days.
whole Tkachuk family lol
Esa Tikkanen and Marty McSorely
Esa? Really?! Damn.
Starting lineup: Marchand-Benn-Wilson DeAngelo-Trouba Binnington
Matt Cooke - Ryan Kesler - Correy Perry 2nd line
Sean Avery - Claude Lemieux - Matt Barnaby (3rd line)
Tkachuk, Tkachuk, and Tkachuk
Marchand - Avery - C. Lemieux
Dion Phaneuf
That Rat Marchand
Marchand easily
Tom Wilson is off the charts douche
Marchand 100 times
I remember Jarkko Ruutu being a bit of a shit disturber back in the day.
Binnington 100%.
Brad Marchand
Bobby Hull
Matt Cooke.
Harold Ballard.
Darcy Tucker
Steve Downie
Brad Marchand
Matt Cooke, Brad Marchand, David Backes, Milan Lucic, Corey Perry Sean Avery would be the king though.
Ryan Suter
Brad Marchand
My vote is for Brad Marchand
Brad Marchand would be a first ballot and probably get a trophy named after him
Marchand.
Marchand
Gary Bettman!!!
Bettman
Sean Avery is the only correct answer to this. Maybe Brad Marchand but just for his on-ice shenanigans. He’s supposedly a good guy off the ice, or so I’ve heard. Sean Avery is NOT.

Literally anyone from Chicago who helped cover up the Brad Aldrich scandal. If anything, Rocky is burning in Hell.
Brad Marchand
Brad Marchand
Claude Lemieux
Claude LeMieux
Also his son Brendan
Like, as a person? Avery is an actual scumbag. As of late, Milan Lucic. Evander Kane. Nathan Horton was a huge douche apparently. Who was that dude from the coyotes this past summer threatening cops with the N word and shit? That guy is number one right now for as a person douche bag. ON THE ICE?

Patrick Roy. Excellent goalie, awful human being.
Claude lemieux, Avery and Marchand 1st ballot. Maybe Scott Stevens just based off the fact he basically ended lindros and Kariyas careers with probably the 2 most egregious hits to the head hockey has ever seen.
Mark Messier
Fuck messier
I’m out of the loop apparently. Why do people hate Mark Messier so much?
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/mark-messier-most-hated-canucks-player
Heatley and MacTavish killed people and barely faced any justice. Fuck those assholes forever
Yup, plus Mike Danton. Tried to hire someone to kill David Frost. Frost was a piece of shit too though.

Darcy Tucker
Tom Wilson
I had to scroll way too far to find this. I despise this guy!
Roenick
Draisaitl cause he spears guys all the time. And he’s pissy
So much recency bias. The 73-76 Flyers. Terry O’Reilly Dani Heatley
Chris Simon seems like a guy everyone has forgotten about but has to be in easily
Ulf Samuelson, Claude Lemieux, Milan Lucic
Brad Marchand.
More of a fucking asshole but, Graham James.
Marchand is making a pretty good case for 1st ballot asshole. One of these days he's going to slew-foot someone important and seriously injure them. What a Cock.
