Repeat offenders: My 5 most hated hockey players

*Honourable Mention: Steve Ott

Mike Modano said he was embarrassed to be a part of the Stars after this game. 'Nuff said.



5. Jarkko Ruutu
Not only is he one of the ugliest players in the league, but he's a diver, and cheapshots are right up his alley. Way to target Kovy's knee completely unnecessarily. Granted, Chris Simon stomping on Ruutu's ankle was a tad extreme, but there's a reason he did it.



4. You're tough Carcillo, REAL tough. Clearly had Gaborik in his sights from the top of the circle and rips him away from the crowd. And Carcillo loves celebrating his own fights by throwing up his arms in celebration to the crowd. Clear sign of a total jerk



3. Steve Downie

This little punk entered the league by leaving his feet like he was competing in a high jump competition. It's sickening to watch, and that's far from the last time he's been dirty. He's a slasher, a slew-foot artist, and suckerpunched Jason Blake for no reason. ZERO respect for this scumbag.



2. Matt Cooke

The reason I made this list is because Cooke's hit on Savard was utterly distasteful. Watch the video: knee knee knee, headshot, headshot headshot. Get out of the league, you don't belong.



1. Sean Avery

If you love hockey as much as I do, you shouldn't like/support Sean Avery. He's everything that's wrong with the game. If you like Avery, I don't want to be your friend. He's a human joke. And my most hated thing in hockey by far...turtling. Ooooooooooh that gets me mad. You shove Kariya into the boards, you back it up.
