The Anaheim Ducks have more than their share of despised players on the roster. This is the final chapter in a three-part series, listing “The O.C.’s Most Wanted.” Today’s subject, the top of the list, will come as a surprise to absolutely no one.
Every team has a few players on their roster opposing fans just can’t stand. If you are a Ducks fan, what kind of emotions do the names Dustin Brown, Joe Thornton, or Connor McDavid stir up? The Anaheim Ducks are no different. If anything, Anaheim has more hated players on their team than anyone else.
In part one of this series, we counted down from five to three. More specifically, Josh Manson, Nick Ritchie, and Ryan Getzlaf. It was very difficult to differentiate between the top two. Instead, I made them #1B – Ryan Kesler (Part Two) and the subject of today’s piece Corey Perry, number 1A.
I mentioned Google in part two. Type in “hate Corey Perry” or “Corey Perry cheap shot” and look up the results. Just in the titles and descriptions of the results are words we can’t use here (for PG purposes). Someone who never heard of Corey Perry and did the search would think he embodies the worst traits of Darth Vader, Voldemort, and Hans Gruber rolled up into one evil package.
I could tell you how horrible Corey Perry is, as I did with Kesler. Today I went back to my colleagues around FanSided to get other opinions. These are things you should read for yourselves.
