Captain Pat Verbeek called it 'the best thing that could happen to the Whalers' and that McGuire was not respected by the players and was mocked by the other teams.
In addition to this, NHL Commissioner Gary Betman ruled that McGuire would forfeit half of the remaining salary owed to him by the Whalers in the season for providing confidential coaching evaluations to the Edmonton Oilers.
These evaluations were prepared while he was still employed by the Whalers organization. ShitStain would be a total disgrace as a GM. See below for all you need to know about ShitStain coaching resume. Enjoyed this post? Never miss out on future posts by following us! No comments. His very public dispute with Eric Lindros is the biggest reason that Clarke is on the list. Glen Sather's free-spending ways might finally be starting to work out, bet let's not forget that this is the same man who signed Chris Drury, Scott Gomez and Wade Redden to outrageous contracts.
It caused the NHL to have to use replacement officials the NFL knows how that works out dressed in horrendous yellow practice jerseys. John Ferguson Jr. Convicted of criminal charges even before taking control of the Maple Leafs, Ballard pretty much wrecked the Leafs reputation in the '60s, '70s and '80s. Hamiltonians might love him for trying to bring an NHL team to the city on multiple occasions, but as for the rest of the league, he's loathed for trying to do business the way it's not supposed to be done.
Peter Forsberg. Ron Hextall. Chris Simon. Mike Ricci. A first-round pick that became Jocelyn Thibault was eventually traded for Patrick Roy. Farwell must have thought he was getting someone better than Wayne Gretzky in the deal.
The Flyers never made the playoffs under Farwell's reign as general manager. The Nordiques went on to move to Colorado and won two Stanley Cups. John Tortorella is a good coach, there is no denying that. It's his harsh delivery no matter who he's talking to, whether it be his players or certain members of the media, that puts him on the list.
If Tortorella were to lighten up just a bit, he would be looked upon with a little less hate. Or as I like to call him, "Captain Obvious". Whenever Pierre McGuire is calling a game, you know there will be more than a few instances where he talks about something so obvious that it's astounding that he brings it up.
McNall pretty much put the Kings into bankruptcy in the '90s. Being convicted of conspiracy and fraud is the reason he's on the list, though. Randy Cunneyworth has done nothing himself to be hated, it's the reaction of Montreal fans and the entire province of Quebec to the hiring of Cunneyworth that places him on the list. He might think it's a sign of respect, but the way he calls everyone "Mister" just gets on everyone's nerves.
Whenever you don't let home games be broadcast on local television, there's something wrong with you. He was also blamed for letting the Blackhawks best players of the '90s leave via free agency or trade because of his frugality. Cliff Fletcher embodies the plague that has surrounded the Toronto Maple Leafs for years.
Fletcher's "draft schmaft" quote is infamous around the NHL, and the Leafs have always had a general manager that has gone somewhat by that way of thinking. Hockey is an exciting game. Key words here, once in awhile. Pierre goes overboard WAY too much. It could be as simple as a check to the boards and WHAM! He explodes with excitement about the play. A play many will forget about before the end of the game. What is most irritating is his incessant need to interrupt.
Pierre constantly interjects during the broadcast, mostly adding irrelevant facts. There is nothing worse than diving into a heated moment then shuddering to the sound of a rude interruption. How refreshing it is to know that the referee hired is doing his job properly. That could be because of many reasons, but one would be he loves to tell players things about themselves, without being quoted. Let me explain.. There have been so many more brutal plays in this league that actually warrant such a comment.
Downie was back for Game 2. When it comes down to it, Pierre is a creepy guy. He makes people uncomfortable. No one likes that! When you work in the media and fans witness that social awkwardness, it puts people off. The word I would choose for him, is Goober. According to Urban Dictionary, a Goober is a kindhearted goofball.
