BigTed3 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 With the Bruins in town and Lucic dirtying it up all night, it made me wonder whether I dislike him the most. Then I saw Julien crying on the bench. Then RDS showed the replay of Chara breaking Pacioretty's neck, which reminded me of Thornton sucker-punching Orpik on the ice. The thought of a guy lying on the ice made me think of Brad Marchand, the hypocritical diver. It's a hard choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs_93 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Chara. Forever Chara. I don't care what good he supposedly does or might do in the future, I'll despise him endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Where's the " All of the above" option?? Because that poll would be unanimous, and thus not that interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habs1952 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Chara, by a whisker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabsRuleForever Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I voted for Julien. First of all he shouldn't have been fired. Second of all he's turned into a real heel since he joined the Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manatee-X Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I went for Julien as well. It may also be a bit of a jealousy thing since I do think he's a talented coach, but boy of boy do his press conferences put me on edge. I swear that, somewhere, an angel loses its wings every time Claude Julien says the word "embellishment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrsmarkov Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Where's the " All of the above" option?? Haha that's what I was looking for. Oh man nvm I just realized Chara was on it. You're all probably going to stone me, but I like him. *Goes in hiding* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColRouleBleu Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I voted Marchand. I can deal OK with apes but I despise rats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Surprised by how much "love" Marchand is getting... which is not to say I thought he was popular, but didn't think he would be such an outright leader over the others.

powerplay2009 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Chara made me throw up in my mouth just a little bit more than Marchand did. It was close though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaas Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Chara by a mile. now, if you were to ask the question: which Bruin would you most like to have on your team, my answer would once again be chara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh now that would have been a really interesting question, especially since we'd have to pick someone . Chara would be my choice too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer for the poll was also Chara because I will never forget what he did to Pacioretty. As much as I hate the personalities and antics of the others, I can't rank them ahead of a player who deliberately tried to injure another player and almost killed him by breaking his neck. As far as which of those players I'd want on my team, I'd actually take Lucic. A couple of years ago, the answer would have been Chara, but I think he's past his prime. He still provides size and a shot and so on, but he looks like a pylon at least once or twice every game and he's terrible at fishing pucks out of the corner because they seem to get lost in his feet.

Flying_Lion Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 This one was tough, especially after reading some of the responses. I've never forgotten the 'Chara Incident' but I don't think, in all honesty, he intended to injure Pacioretty as much as it turned out. Sure, he wanted to hurt him. And sure, he was pretty callous afterwards. He could've shown some concern but I think Chara is - more often than not - a classier guy on and off the ice than Marchand, who was my selection for this poll. Marchand would've skated back to Pacioretty's prone body and posed over top of him. If you look at the "Personal" sections of their respective Wikipedia articles, you'll note Chara's ambassadorship for Right to Play amongst detials about his life outside of hockey compared to a whole lot of crap about Marchand's nicknames: 'Nose Face Killah', 'Little Ball of Hate'. To me, that says enough. It's not my place to forgive Chara and I'm not sure I ever would but I like to think there's a piece of him that feels bad about the severity of the result of his actions. I'll wager good money Marchand still brings it up excitedly before and after games against the Habs and Chara would just rather not talk about it anymore.

HabsRuleForever Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 It doesn't matter to me if Chara is sorry, what he did to Patches speaks for itself. As a Habs fan, as a hockey fan, as a human being, I can't & will never forgive him nor should I care if he shows any remorse. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_133 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have no real issue with any of the Bruins, I suppose Marchand is the most annoying on the ice but in general, whatever. So none of the above. Wish a few of those guys were in Montreal though, especially the coach since we had him and blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanCountingHab Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I had to vote Marchand and it was actually a fairly easy decision for me. He seems like the worst person of the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought I was the only one who believed Chara didn't intend to hurt Patches the way it was led to look. I seriously can't imagine how anyone could compare him or put him higher than Lucic and Marchand. It seems Lucic deliberately tries to hurt players every single game, there's no quitting with him. The crazy part is that Lucic is so friendly off the ice. Mind blowing. He deserves as Oscar for his on ice resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manatee-X Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 It's kind of funny to see the disparity in everyone's opinions . For example, I wouldn't really say that I dislike Lucic very much at all. Or Thorton for that matter, when it comes down to it. He seems like a bit of a jerk and he plays for a team that I don't like, but I think that if he played for, say, Dallas or something I wouldn't even think twice about him.

CANADIENS27 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Because that poll would be unanimous, and thus not that interesting. Maybe "All of the Above" can be a writein option, with an exception or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrsmarkov Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 The bruin I'd most want on the Habs is Bergeron, but out of this poll, I'm not sure. From the poll I'd choose Chara, but if I could choose any Bruin I'd also choose Bergy. Quality player and quality guy. He's definitely wearing the wrong colours.
