Bouwmeester wasn't the greatest to the Panthers org. I'm not saying I blame him, but...he'd be viewed the same kind of way as Heatley.

Commodore said disparaging remarks about:

1.Mike Babc0ck

and

2.Byran Murray

In the same week. If I didn't vote for Heatley, I would vote for Commodore.

Bouwmeester an arse? For wanting to get the hell outta NO HOCKEY TOWN and cash in huge as a UFA? Well, if that's being an arse, then I'll be an arse all day every day.

John Tortorella

And I'll be there right behind you ... wait, that sounds ... wrong.

I have to go with Avery on this one. He was a complete and utter douchebag this year. I didn't think even he could be that much of an Donkey. But he proved me wrong.

Avery for me. Why the Stars let Hagman go and brought him in I have no idea.

And that, my friends, is why Brett Hull is no longer the GM in Dallas...

lol! yeah, Al Strachan

Uh....I also went with Avery. I didn't...I went with Dickhead O'Reilly (Heatley)

I voted other, for Big Jim Ballsillie.

I voted for Burke, enough said on that one, biggest bunghole and the biggest bunghole team.

How could I have forgotten Balsille?

whoa... tough one... It's a tie between Burke and Avery for me.
Although, honorable mentions to Al Strachan, Cindy Crosby (SHAKE EVERYONE'S HAND YOU LITTLE F**KSH*T!) and of course, Bettman! I mean, c;mon!! BETTMAN!! LMAO

I have a few nominations:

I love this guy. bunghole? Perhaps, but it's about time that the Old Boys Club gets shook up. I'd love to see Balsillie and Mark Cuban in the league as owners, to go around pantsing the stuffy old owners...and Bettman.

I was listening to Phil Esposito talk about his experience when he went through the process to bring Tampa into the league in 1990. He said in not so many words, that in order to be successful, when the league tells you to jump, you're response had better damn well be: How high? Seems amazing to me that a guy is willing to invest a quarter of a billion dollars, and should be also told what to do.

I just don't get the NHL's stance here. They have a guy who is starving to get into the league, who will overpay by almost 50% for a team, and will do whatever it takes to win. Why don't they just get rid off that creampuff Golisano in Buffalo and let Jimmy Balls have the Sabres.

If Ballsillie had just shut his mouth and followed the rules, I have no doubt that Kitchener-Waterloo would have a team by now. For some people, getting what you want is not good enough, they need to be THE SHOW as well.

Avery... hands down.
