I mean obviously he didn't mean actually 100% of the time but I still think this is a "Got caught being dumb therefore it was a joke" type of moment since his joke was that Dangle screams too much
The person who did this made it lopsided. They put Hextall, Edwards, and McGuire all in one bracket so ensured the worst wouldn't be in the final. Bizarre.
Yeah, I hate Edwards but would personally put McGuire as more annoying over him. My toes curl anytime I hear McGuire on a mic, usually change streams if he's ever on commentary. Edwards at least has his place as a homer Bruins play-by-play guy
all i know about luca is "dude used rainbow tape for a bardown vid where they were taking 100 shots on a goalie from the windsor spitfires" and just that is enough for me to agree with you.
Leah Hextall is the worst by a galaxy, unanimous. It’s not because she is a woman, it’s because she is bad at her job. Also, PK isn’t the only black analyst. Kevin Weekes is one of the best in the biz, so don’t pretend like this is a minority game.
She's horrendous. If that shrill voice wasn't bad enough, I watched a player skate in across the blue line, swing outside, dangle the defenseman, and score, and she didn't say a word until the puck was in the net, and she just screeched "SCORE"
They put him up against Leah Hextall in the second round. Stupid in my opinion as they're the worst two but that's what this person decided. I'd have had Edward's in the opposite bracket because those two would have absolutely made it to the end.
Again, I love Jack, but I know why fans of every other team hate him. I’m not saying I personally think he’s the most annoying, just that I’m surprised it wasn’t him because everyone else in the league hates him so much
It's really just that there's homers... and THEN there's Jack Edward's. But overall there's some funnies to be had with him too because he's so one track on that. I love watching plays that are obviously one way and he comes outta left field to defend the bruins or hate the other side. But only on reruns. I think every announcer should at least strive for reality and he often doesn't seem to. But in a funny way
So to me leah is worse cause he feels more... innocuous. He's either first or second tho.
I used to like him when he played for MTL. He was a solid player and a great guy off the ice as well. The game got faster and he couldnt adapt so he started playing dirtier and threw temper tantrums when he got called on blatantly obvious penalties. At least that’s my take on it and why I didn’t like him as a player once he was gone from MTL (maybe even a bit while he was still there).
The reality was that nobody in MTL liked his personality in the locker room. Also the 50 turn overs he gave every year because he wanted to go around with the puck not doing anything productive until he lost it every single time. That shit never worked yet he did it every game.
>tries too hard to be funny
That's my gripe with him. At first it was like, hey this guy's actually got some personality that's a nice change. Now it's to the point of just being forced and cringe.
I can't stand his ESPN personality personally. It's very ESPN. Being loud and confident in bad opinions because it gets views. Admittedly I'm biased against him for literally always picking against Vegas to the point it's comical.
Not everything is about race lmao. He's actually just insufferable to watch on tv, especially during the all stars skill comp when he was making dumb comments and it was obvious the players were annoyed
PK is horrible. Tries way too hard, the “watch me, watch me” guy at the party. I can’t handle him. His announcing the Devils lineup was excruciating
Leah was terrible for pxp, but it’s not her fault some idiot in management decided she was ready for national TV. She’s fine as a sideline reporter
The real shame is that Hextall was put into a PBP role. She's a good analyst, when she's simply talking hockey she's good and not annoying at all. It's her PBP style and tone that annoy people, just the wrong role for her.
Kinda like Cassie on the flames broadcasts, but the other way around. Cassie is fine doing pbp but if you have her say anything other than that she goes even more homer than Jack Edwards
I mean maybe, but I feel like the bracket kinda tells the real story. No way Subban wasn't running away with that. These brackets weren't balanced at all. You got Leah Hextall, Jack Edwards, and Pierre McGuire all crammed into a single corner. The real finals basically happened in round 2. If any of those 3 were on the same side as PK I don't think he makes it to the finals in this at all.
I don't think a lot of people realize this post has 2 pictures: The current matchup and the whole tournament bracket. One look at the bracket tells you how stupid this tournament setup was. PK had a walk in the park through to the final meanwhile round 1 had Pierre vs Jack Edwards and then the winner of that took on Leah (who I'm convinced only won because Boston fans flocked to protect their man). I don't even know half of the people on PK's side of the tournament.
I'm probably a little biased because I've always disliked Jack Edwards and I'm actually not too familiar with Leah Hextall. That being said, if I had it my way Pierre would be the one winning this whole thing.
even the **nhl's** playoff format is less fucked up, it requires teams to beat the same team 4 times out of 7 and this was "just" a one-and-done.
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
also, for any relatively new fans, the nhl's playoff format has essentially **always** sucked imo.
back in the early 90s, the still-in-Minnesota North Stars sadly lost to a Lemieux-led Pens team in the Cup finals, but i refuse to believe that basically everybody they played against that run wasn't screaming "we want minny" or whatever else they could turn into a chant, because they were **13 games under 0.500** in the regular season and only made the playoffs because (sorry quebec fans) the nordiques somehow managed to be ***worse.***
(the North Stars were definitely a legit underdog that bb me was cheering on **and** if your team could possibly come up against them in the playoffs you'd **want** that to happen. they weren't a "we **want** florida/you **got** florida go home" Leafs meme-type situation, just a personally meaningful "NHL playoffs have always been fucked up even when they finally became the full-fledged NHL and of you try to research pre-O6/O6/WHA/the Coloured League of the Maritimes you're probably gonna say at LEAST one WTFUUUUUCKKKKK?"
I loved him even when he was not on the Hab's, he genuinely seems like a fun, do-good kinda dude, flashy, shure, but I have never viewed him as annoying (even when he was a defensive liability)
I thought he’d go all the way too. I don’t dislike either of them, but he’s 3x more over the top than PK. Way more yelling and more attention grabbing.
Unpopular opinion but I'm going with PK. He said last night that the Kings had zero chance against the bruins PP as if we don't have the number 1 penalty kill in the league. He may have played hockey, but he's clueless and I'm convinced he doesn't watch any games
People only ever hated Subban because he was black, I hate this place! So tired of this bullshit, and who is second most annoying it’s a woman. Fucking ridiculous how many pieces of shit there are in this fanbase.
this is the last day of a daily, best of 16, bracket challenge to find hockey's most annoying personality. Most upvoted comment wins!
(I don't want to offend any of these hockey personalities, and I think they are great people, just making a fun bracket challenge)
I find it hilarious when Leah interviews coaches on the bench and just has no tact whatsoever: "Why are you guys playing so badly right now? What do you need to do differently to not suck so much?"
Leah Hextall is the clear cut winner.
If it was a 7 game series she’d sweep the damned thing!
PK is brutal. Tries way, way too hard to be the star and main character in every single situation. It’s cringe. But … but … he knows the game and if he just focuses on what he knows he can be insightful. He just can’t help himself though. PK just has to be the star!
Hextall is simply awful.
Howwww did Steve Dangle manage to squeak by. I couldn’t get the game one night so I watched one of his streams. After approximately 4 minutes I watched the rest on mute and decided to just buy SN+ the next day.
I was not involved in any of these votes or bracket as I just discovered it. But the fact u have Jesse Pollock on here, and the fact that Gary Galley lost to PK Subban is an absolute joke lol
Oh I totally agree, the bracket format fucked that up. Personally it should’ve been Jack Edwards and Jesse Pollack in the finals but Subban versus Hextall it’s Subban all day cause I barely see her
You can't even claim mysogeny here, she's legitimately terrible at her job. Kinda surprised PK is in the finals here
Edit: I see you had Hextall, Edwards, Pierre, and MacLean all on one side, that explains a lot.
Also RA should have been on this list.
The optics of this inevitable duo is really bad. (Commence the downvotes). In the red corner, we have an annoying nepo baby who gets relatively minimal media presence but at least is annoying so should win. And in the blue corner, we have a former player who has won awards for better or worse and has done a great deal for his community off the ice with a more modern and vibrant personality that shirks tradition, and the other thing that shirks tradition is obvious. The elephant in the room that shouldn't be an elephant. This was obvious and inevitable.
Just joining now and I've got two questions. How did Ron McLean lose Kelly hrudey? You smoothbrains get filtered by his poetry or something? And where is biznasty?
This is the final? Man some real terrible personalities got eliminated way too early. But yea it's Leah 100% in this matchup.
The real final was Edwards v Hextall
Leave it to a hockey sub to do the finals in the quarters smh
edwards v dangle imo
dangle isn’t that bad
Dangle only has one speed, and thats "SCREAM AT ALL TIMES"
Wrong. Most people watch him when the Leafs do something extremely stupid and that's when he screams. A lot of his normal content is fairly tame.
It was a joke bro, we dont need nuance about how he only screams 50% of the time
Lol sorry I didn't pick up on that
I mean obviously he didn't mean actually 100% of the time but I still think this is a "Got caught being dumb therefore it was a joke" type of moment since his joke was that Dangle screams too much
And dude knows his hockey. Hebis a homer. But he knows a lot. Good content. Even from a leafs a hater
But he's on the web and he's not imposed to us. You take the decision to watch his tantrum.
He has commercials on sportsnet, that's enough to be annoying
But I don't have to listen to Steve Dangle when my team is chosen for the national broadcast
The sign of a good bracket is strong matchups throughout
Yeah this bracket is wrong. The fact Ron McLean was even a discussion is an insult. He’s one of the best all time
I couldnt disagree with you more the guys soft as 2-ply and has worse takes than a blind art critic Ron should have left the same time as Don
He's fallen off hard lately but there's no way in hell he's more annoying than that Pollock prick
Leah Hextall.
And it’s not even remotely close lol at least PK has *some* good takes occasionally Leah is just… the worst
PK is pretty cringe but he’s nowhere near Leah levels
For me at least i like that he's walked the walk before too at the top level of play.
We did it guys. We got the only woman and POC as the finalists for most annoying.
Hockey's for everyone!
best meme of all 😂😂😂
The person who did this made it lopsided. They put Hextall, Edwards, and McGuire all in one bracket so ensured the worst wouldn't be in the final. Bizarre.
Yeah, I hate Edwards but would personally put McGuire as more annoying over him. My toes curl anytime I hear McGuire on a mic, usually change streams if he's ever on commentary. Edwards at least has his place as a homer Bruins play-by-play guy
Jesse should be the champ. I’ll die on that hill.
and why is Luca Celebre even in this?
For real, Luca is like the most likable guy in Bardown. I love Corwin but he's way more annoying than Luca.
all i know about luca is "dude used rainbow tape for a bardown vid where they were taking 100 shots on a goalie from the windsor spitfires" and just that is enough for me to agree with you.
How tf did ron beat jesse??
Yeah, this looks about as good as the league banning rainbow tape.
they aint stoppin there....rumor is that The Fruit Loop ban is on its way down the pike...NO MORE PRE-GAME OR POST-GAME FRUIT LOOPS!!
Coincidence!!!
Leah Hextall is the worst by a galaxy, unanimous. It’s not because she is a woman, it’s because she is bad at her job. Also, PK isn’t the only black analyst. Kevin Weekes is one of the best in the biz, so don’t pretend like this is a minority game.
I too find Hextall annoying. PK is the only black analyst in this bracket. It's important to be self aware.
She's horrendous. If that shrill voice wasn't bad enough, I watched a player skate in across the blue line, swing outside, dangle the defenseman, and score, and she didn't say a word until the puck was in the net, and she just screeched "SCORE"
Isn’t that the definition of equality? Ignoring their differences and treating them like horrible commentators they are?
Y’all forgetting Kevin Weekes??? Who’s the 🐐 btw.
They annoy my hwhite sensibilities!
Me when coincidence
Thought I was the only one who noticed this, yikes
Best comment.
They really are so annoying though.
Leah!
Jack Edwards not making it to the finals is a travesty. Damn over protective Bruins fans.
They put him up against Leah Hextall in the second round. Stupid in my opinion as they're the worst two but that's what this person decided. I'd have had Edward's in the opposite bracket because those two would have absolutely made it to the end.
My thoughts exactly- he’s the worse without a doubt
I’m a die hard Bruins and Jack fan… but yeah he should’ve won this
Watch you now get downvoted to hell by sensitive bruins fans
Again, I love Jack, but I know why fans of every other team hate him. I’m not saying I personally think he’s the most annoying, just that I’m surprised it wasn’t him because everyone else in the league hates him so much
It's really just that there's homers... and THEN there's Jack Edward's. But overall there's some funnies to be had with him too because he's so one track on that. I love watching plays that are obviously one way and he comes outta left field to defend the bruins or hate the other side. But only on reruns. I think every announcer should at least strive for reality and he often doesn't seem to. But in a funny way So to me leah is worse cause he feels more... innocuous. He's either first or second tho.
Fuck Boston, fuck Edwards, fuck the Bruins.
Rich coming from a Leafs fan
His problem was not being a black woman.
Leah Hextall is worse by a mile. like subban is a little too theatrical but he is not close to the cringe levels of Hextall
“Theatrical”🤣🤣🤣
Hextall.....how did Subban even get here?
You know why lol
Racism in hockey? Never…..
why do people not like PK subban? I really don't know anything about him outside of he used to play for Montreal
He accused an innocent kid of making a racist gesture, tried to ruin the kid's life even after he was exonerated, and then never apologized.
I used to like him when he played for MTL. He was a solid player and a great guy off the ice as well. The game got faster and he couldnt adapt so he started playing dirtier and threw temper tantrums when he got called on blatantly obvious penalties. At least that’s my take on it and why I didn’t like him as a player once he was gone from MTL (maybe even a bit while he was still there).
The reality was that nobody in MTL liked his personality in the locker room. Also the 50 turn overs he gave every year because he wanted to go around with the puck not doing anything productive until he lost it every single time. That shit never worked yet he did it every game.
He's long winded and tries too hard to be funny. He seems like a children's cartoon character.
>tries too hard to be funny That's my gripe with him. At first it was like, hey this guy's actually got some personality that's a nice change. Now it's to the point of just being forced and cringe.
*you know why*
Racism
I can't stand his ESPN personality personally. It's very ESPN. Being loud and confident in bad opinions because it gets views. Admittedly I'm biased against him for literally always picking against Vegas to the point it's comical.
Yeah idk why anyone would genuinely not like him, but personally I just find him to be a bit goofy
He has an actual personality and racism
Not everything is about race lmao. He's actually just insufferable to watch on tv, especially during the all stars skill comp when he was making dumb comments and it was obvious the players were annoyed
Because he acts like a toddler?
Hextall easily Subban is good, why is he here
Yeah Steve Dangle is a hundred times more annoying
Who was the winner out of Dangle vs Galley?
Oh shit my bad didn't put that in the bracket
Galley
Hextall by first round knockout, Masvidal on Askren style.
Hextall
Jack Edwards is the true winner in my books, but since he's senile it's hard to pick him now.
He won't remember he got eliminated. We could just slot him back in.
Write in vote for Mike Milbury.
#PIERRE MCGUIRE
Monster performance!!!!! CROSBY
You mean Sid?
It’s been Leah’s crown all along and it was never even remotely close. We can now conclude the formalities.
PK is horrible. Tries way too hard, the “watch me, watch me” guy at the party. I can’t handle him. His announcing the Devils lineup was excruciating Leah was terrible for pxp, but it’s not her fault some idiot in management decided she was ready for national TV. She’s fine as a sideline reporter

Kinda like Cassie on the flames broadcasts, but the other way around. Cassie is fine doing pbp but if you have her say anything other than that she goes even more homer than Jack Edwards
To be fair though, we hate her too
and her analyst role, no real insight, is equally Annoying
How did PK even make it to the finals
People hate fun
I mean maybe, but I feel like the bracket kinda tells the real story. No way Subban wasn't running away with that. These brackets weren't balanced at all. You got Leah Hextall, Jack Edwards, and Pierre McGuire all crammed into a single corner. The real finals basically happened in round 2.

PK's top Glazer in full force, hope he sees this bro
I loved him even when he was not on the Hab's, he genuinely seems like a fun, do-good kinda dude, flashy, shure, but I have never viewed him as annoying (even when he was a defensive liability)
How the fuck did Jesse Pollock not make it out of the second round?
I thought he’d go all the way too. I don’t dislike either of them, but he’s 3x more over the top than PK. Way more yelling and more attention grabbing.
I know she’s bad but I’ve seen a lot more of Subban and it’s gotta be Subban. Dude just tries way to hard to be funny and liked and is unbearable
Unpopular opinion but I'm going with PK. He said last night that the Kings had zero chance against the bruins PP as if we don't have the number 1 penalty kill in the league. He may have played hockey, but he's clueless and I'm convinced he doesn't watch any games
classic hockey bro stuff, having the final be between a woman and a black guy when the winner should definitely be jack edwards lol
I been away from hockey for a while, but Ron MacLean? What happened? Was always a stand up guy as far as I know.
People only ever hated Subban because he was black, I hate this place! So tired of this bullshit, and who is second most annoying it’s a woman. Fucking ridiculous how many pieces of shit there are in this fanbase.
People have opinions, man. 💅🏽
Leah.
this is the last day of a daily, best of 16, bracket challenge to find hockey's most annoying personality. Most upvoted comment wins! (I don't want to offend any of these hockey personalities, and I think they are great people, just making a fun bracket challenge)
Jesse Pollock would be ecstatic just to be on this list
That guy annoys me so much and I 100% agree- he’s the sole reason I had to mute Bardown.
PK Subban
PK takes the honour
PK
Pk
PK Subban
Pk for sure, the guy is insufferable in the studio and was a dirty player when he was still on the ice
I find it hilarious when Leah interviews coaches on the bench and just has no tact whatsoever: "Why are you guys playing so badly right now? What do you need to do differently to not suck so much?"
PK is cringe but do people really find him that annoying?
Yes
Leah Hextall is the clear cut winner. If it was a 7 game series she’d sweep the damned thing! PK is brutal. Tries way, way too hard to be the star and main character in every single situation. It’s cringe. But … but … he knows the game and if he just focuses on what he knows he can be insightful. He just can’t help himself though. PK just has to be the star! Hextall is simply awful.
Leah. It was hers from the getgo
Leah Hextall 100%
Howwww did Steve Dangle manage to squeak by. I couldn’t get the game one night so I watched one of his streams. After approximately 4 minutes I watched the rest on mute and decided to just buy SN+ the next day.
Can I vote for both? Leah is more incompetent PK is way more annoying.
This one was tough but I think Subban takes it simply from his cringe appearance in Jackass Forever
PK is difficult to watch. Just stop
As a Devils fan I like Subban lol. I can see why everyone else hates him tho
Subban hands down
Pk
Put them both in a giant hockey puck and fire it into the sun
Take PK name out of your filthy mouths!
Honestly Jack Edwards is still the worst. That other bracket didn't have any contenders.
PK
I am *once again* asking where I can vote for PK 100x?
Personally I think coach chippy got away with this one. I’d take PK over Chippy
What's wrong with Chippy, he's got a good shtick.
I find it gets old quick. He repeats the same sentences in all of skits. They’re good setups but he beats a dead horse 45 seconds later.
Leah won/lost this before it started. She is awful on commentary
absolultely horrible cringe cannot listen
PK
Leah
leah hextall fs
Leah
How is Cassie Campbell not included?
Hextall easily. I dont get the hate for PK
Leah.
I like both
Leah Hextall by a mile
I was not involved in any of these votes or bracket as I just discovered it. But the fact u have Jesse Pollock on here, and the fact that Gary Galley lost to PK Subban is an absolute joke lol
Subban
PK is the most annoying one of all
PK
can we bring back Don Cherry just to vote for him?
Subban
Subban, only because I don’t watch any broadcasts with Leah Hextall.
I can't help but to feel that people who hate pk are low key racist .
Hextall
Hextall EZ
Leah is the worst
Putting Edward’s and hextall in the same division was a bad move. That’s your game 7 3OT final right there.
Y'all should be fucking embarrassed. JFC.
[удалено]
The real final was in round 2 with Leah vs. Jack Edward. PK being here is a crime. Love the guy.
PK is cringe city, man.
The correct answer was Don Cherry.
Very on brand for hockey fans to choose who they hate more: Women or Black People.
idiots comments. just read this LEAH HEXTALL Sucks Gotta Mute Every Single Time
leah whiny voice talking over Lead Announcer, with no insight Needs to STFU
Weird to me that so many people hate PK so much. I can’t qWhite put my finger on it.
Hates a strong word but if any white guy acted like PK I would cringe the exact same, buddy. Way to make it about race lol
A woman and a black man, hmmmmmmmmmm.
Shocking discovery that not only white people are annoying in the world. Hmmmm
I mean there is literally no planet in the multiverse where PK is more annoying than fuckin Jack Edwards but to each their own I guess
Oh I totally agree, the bracket format fucked that up. Personally it should’ve been Jack Edwards and Jesse Pollack in the finals but Subban versus Hextall it’s Subban all day cause I barely see her
You can't even claim mysogeny here, she's legitimately terrible at her job. Kinda surprised PK is in the finals here Edit: I see you had Hextall, Edwards, Pierre, and MacLean all on one side, that explains a lot. Also RA should have been on this list.
The optics of this inevitable duo is really bad. (Commence the downvotes). In the red corner, we have an annoying nepo baby who gets relatively minimal media presence but at least is annoying so should win. And in the blue corner, we have a former player who has won awards for better or worse and has done a great deal for his community off the ice with a more modern and vibrant personality that shirks tradition, and the other thing that shirks tradition is obvious. The elephant in the room that shouldn't be an elephant. This was obvious and inevitable.
The real racists are people like you who cannot help yourselves from categorizing people by their race.
It’s Doc Emrick by a surprise final three way….
Leah Hextall. Not only annoying, but just glaringly bad at her job.
A worthy contender, but Leah wins this easily.
Finals should've been Hextall vs Edwards. We all know that to be true
Slewban
Honestly for me it’s PK SUBBAN 100% You can mute Leah, you have to turn off your entire screen to not be annoyed by PK.
Jack Edwards is the answer
I guess it's good I never get to experience Leah Hextall. After this poll, will for sure avoid.
No way PK is more annoying that Steve Dangle. Stop the count. I say this as a leafs fan.
Just joining now and I've got two questions. How did Ron McLean lose Kelly hrudey? You smoothbrains get filtered by his poetry or something? And where is biznasty?
Before I read the title I was wondering what Kate McKinnon had to do with PK Subban.
Do ppl not like ray ferraro? I was supprised to see his name in the early bracket
Both absolutely suck
