Somebody's got an image problem...
Jes Golbez is playing this game where he names his favourite and least favourite players on every NHL team, and he's linked to three other hockey bloggers who have done the same.
Brace yourself, but you will not believe who all four of them picked as their least favourite Oiler.
Ohhhhh, mercy!

There is a difference between "least favourite" and "most hated", don't forget. Basically, no one likes Peca; that doesn't mean they hate him like, say Avery.
My least favourite, at least this week, is Pisani. Lucky bugger.
You know, having a player on your team that a large portion of non-fans of your team universally dislike isn't necessarily a bad thing.... It could mean the guy is doing something right if he's pissing off that many people.
Though, I don't think this would really apply to Peca in this case.
mudcrutch,
Sabres fans have plenty of reason to hate Peca. Most fans in the eastern conference have plenty of reason to hate Peca. Your entire first paragraph is the closest thing to fiction I've read in a hockey blog ever.
Mike's done a lot of things to be hated by opposition. If you can't think of any criteria of why someone would hate Peca, try watching a highlight reel of his borderline hits. Even when he was captain of the Sabres we understood why he was so hated.
Couple that with his being a me-first crybaby during contract negotiations and it's easy to see why he's one of the most divisive players in the NHL.
Sorry, but, take your homer glasses off for a second and you'll see Peca for what he is.
For all of that, I'm a fan of EDM, and he'll help the Oil get back to the playoffs... he just won't make any friends doing it.
Ta,
They all hate Hasek more than Havlat?
Other than a few special exceptions (how does one pick a least favourite Leaf?), I think my least favourite list would be derived from players who burned me in previous hockey pools.
I like the one where the guy melted down trying to pick just one least favourite Flame and started rattling off the whole roster.
