Darcy Tucker has been involved in a few less-than-legal altercations and has racked up a few suspensions in his day.

Tucker has 1410 career penalty minutes, including a career-high 176 in the 1998-1999 season with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Below is a video of Darcy Tucker boarding Matt Greene. This particular infraction got him a one-game suspension.

Boarding? What da hell is that ref? He was not prone so how come it is a foul?

Sean Avery, F, New York Rangers-Detroit Red Wings-Los Angeles Kings-Dallas Stars

Avery is the most hated player in the NHL today. He is hated by players, fans, referees and even his own teammates. He has destroyed reputations and has said so many horrible things that no amount of apologies could repair.

He will make rude comments about players' personal lives and will attack the opponent’s most sensitive players to get them off of their game.

Avery said that all French players hide behind their visors and cannot play hockey and promptly backed down from Los Angeles King Ian Laperriere.

He craves attention and will do anything to get under people’s skin, like standing in front of Martin Brodeur waving his stick. Avery has hit everyone late and doesn’t mind bragging about it. He has alienated organizations and has made an ass out of himself many times.

To me, Avery feeds off of the controversy and if we ignore him, like the baby he really is, maybe he will go away!

The DP shots continue to come even after the match!!...DP's are fighters but they are also lovers

Todd Bertuzzi, F, New York Islanders-Vancouver Canucks-Florida Panthers-Detroit Red Wings-Anaheim Ducks-Calgary Flames

Todd Bertuzzi was always a gritty player, but on a fateful day in 2004 everything changed.

Bertuzzi sucker-punched Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore in the side of the head and rode his body head-first into the ice. Moore will never play hockey again, and Bertuzzi has never lived it down.

Players and organizations turned against him, and he turned on himself.

His attitude has always been bleak, and he seems to hate what he has become in the NHL.

As an offensive weapon, he was a great power forward for his early career. But it just goes to show you, your actions follow you no matter where you go.

Come on ref!! that was a legit shot

The video stalls right at the start, it takes a few seconds to start up...This is a ruthless DP shot....The close up replay is at the end of the video....RAHHHH!!!!!

Jarkko Ruutu, F, Ottawa Senators-Vancouver Canucks-Pittsburgh Penguins

I hate biters!

Jarkko Ruutu just looks like a biter. And judging by the video, he doesn’t mind flashing the pearly whites in a fight to prove his point. He almost tore off Buffalo Sabres fighter Andrew Peters' thumb!

Ruutu has a reckless streak as well. He will lead with his elbows, and he actively tries to hurt people by hitting them in the head. He is a truly dirty player and is hated by a great number of players in the NHL.

In almost every game, you can find Ruutu squawking at the opponents and giving cheap shots to their star players. He won’t fight usually, but he talks enough to get everyone else to.

The worst part of Ruutu is his willingness to hurt someone. If players frown upon one thing more than anything else, it’s intent to hurt another player, because there is mutual respect through the game. The NHL has cleaned up its image but guys like Jarkko Ruutu still give the league a bad name.

Give me that thumb

the Toothless Wonder

The heart and soul of the Flyers team known as the Broad Street Bullies, Clarke was never afraid to break the rules, be it in an NHL game or an international exhibition. While playing for Team Canada in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, Clarke notoriously slashed Russian star winger Valeri Kharlamovon the ankle, which is still a sore subject in and around Moscow.

The slash heard around the world

Claude Lemieux, F, Montreal Canadiens-New Jersey Devils-Colorado Avalanche-Phoenix Coyotes-Dallas Stars-San Jose Sharks

No surprises here, Claude “The Turtle” Lemieux is your most hated player in NHL history.

He has done so many despicable things in his career and made so many poor choices that it is a wonder why he was allowed in the NHL for as long as he was.

Lemieux is hated by me personally for two main reasons: the Kris Draper incident and the Howard Stern-Stanley Cup incident.

The video shows what happened in the Draper incident, and I don’t hate Lemieux for the hit. He should’ve been penalized, but Draper turns and it looks like Lemieux didn’t mean to shove him face-first. Draper suffered a concussion, broken jaw, broken nose and a broken cheekbone.

What angers me is the way he acted after and how he acted against the Red Wings from then on.

He helped create on of the fiercest rivalries in the NHL in recent memory between Colorado and Detroit.

As a fan of Howard Stern, I was worried when Claude was going to bring the Cup to the show. My fears were realized when a cast member supposedly defecated in the Cup. I was so mad that he desecrated the Stanley Cup that I stopped listening to Stern.

I don’t blame Howard; I blame Claude.

Glorious DP to the face

Now this is how a DP lays the smack down
