The Most Embarrassing Moment For All 32 NHL Teams 

Chicago... seriously? You think THAT was the most embarrassing thing? 😂😂😂

Chicago had a coach that was accused of sexually assaulting 2 players. That seems like a more disgusting/embarrassing thing than Kane's.

The scandal with Kyle Beach and the Chicago Blackhawks is one of the worst in NHL history and a huge stain on the Blackhawks as a whole. To not mention that does even more to minimize what happened.

I think bruins having the best regular season of all time and then getting bounced round 1 is more embarrassing for them

The most embarrassing thing for Top 6 Hockey is this video.

For Boston, last year's first round loss to Florida was more embarrassing than the 2013 Finals, blowing a 3-1 series lead following a regular season that beat the 2018-19 Lightning in wins and points. For Edmonton, I'd say giving up a 3 goal lead in the final 3:30 of a playoff game and losing in OT to fall 1 game behind in the series would be the next embarrassing moment after the Steve Smith own goal. That's what happened in Game 5 of their second round series against the Anaheim Ducks in 2017. The Ducks took the series in 7, and the Oilers would miss the playoffs the next 3 years.

as a vegas fan i can understand your pick but clearing that cap space among others lead to a cup, for me the most embarrassing moment was blowing a 3-0 lead vs the sharks in the playoffs after the major penalty alone with the 3-1 series lead blown, it being against our biggest rival at the time it really stung

okay come on that we all know what chicago’s most embarrassing moment is 😂

Why did you throw a picture of Jakub Vrana up when you said Luc Robitaille? 😂

It wasn't a moment but I'd say the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to the Maple Leafs was having Harold Ballard destroy a once great hockey team pretty much single handedly.

The torts brawl in locker room wasn't becuse of a bad hit, it was because Hartley started his 4th line, so Torts did too, and they had the huge line brawl, you even show footage of it

Sad fact: "Penguin Pete" was a TROPIC penguin, hence his death from pneumonia. R.I.P. Pete.

I know the 4-1 collapse for the Leafs in 2013 was really bad, but at least Boston had an actual NHL goalie in net, and not *Steve Dangle voice* a 42-year-old Zamboni driver who works for them!

he said the Sens drama like it was Erik Karlsson and his wifes fault for being harrassed

As a huge life long stars fan I'm very disappointed in your choice. Patrik stephan easily is our most embarrassing moment. We might have still won the game but that is one of the top 15 nhl worst moments

Round 1 of last seasons cup playoffs was the most embarrassed I’ve ever been to be a bruins fan lol.

Anaheim: the 8-1 loss to SJS Arizona: Bankruptcy and following problems Boston: 2 goals in 17 seconds Buffalo: Lucic running into Miller Calgary: Martin Gelinas’ phantom goal Carolina: Swept vs. Florida in 2023 Chicago: The 2010 sexual assault scandal Colorado: Patrick Roy’s Statue of Liberty play; his later resignation and ensuing disaster in the 2016-17 season Columbus: Joonas Korpisalo’s injury in the end of 2019, leading to Torts getting fined. Oh, and 2019 was their playoff series win Dallas: Jim Lites’ comments against Benn & Seguin in 2018 Detroit: Steve Yzerman nearly getting traded after 1995 Edmonton: Steve Smith’s own goal Florida: Keith Ballard losing his cool Los Angeles: The handling of Slava Voynov & Mike Richards Minnesota: Marian Gaborik’s mysterious injury handling Montreal: Patrick Roy letting in 9 goals Nashville: Game 6 in 2017 New Jersey: 3 own goals NY Islanders: The Rick DiPietro contract (Mike Milbury being a dishonourable mention) NY Rangers: The handling of Tom Wilson & the DoPS in 2021 Ottawa: Ubergate (for those who don’t get it, a few Sens players called out their assistant coach in an Uber for their sloppy play) (Karlsson/Hoffman beef & Chris Phillips’ own goal being dishonourable mentions) Philadelphia: 2006-07 season when they were expected to compete for the Cup Pittsburgh: The literal penguin, which adopted the skating penguin logo San Jose: The hand pass goal which was followed by 3 straight losses vs. St. Louis Seattle: This season St. Louis: Mike Danton’s murder-for-hire plot after the 2004 playoffs Tampa Bay: Getting swept vs. Columbus Toronto: Harold Ballard. *All of it* Vancouver: The 2011 riot, with Bertuzzi-Moore & Tortorella’s chase coming close Vegas: Cody Eakin’s game misconduct against San Jose in 2019 Washington: Their inaugural season Winnipeg: The sale to Atlanta Spirit

The Blue Jackets’ upset of the Lightning was in 2019. In 2018, they lost in 6 games to the eventual Stanley Cup Champions, the Washington Capitals in Round 1.

I can list a ton of embarrassing moments for Boston: - Bruins blowing 3-0 series lead to Philadelphia in 2010 - Lucic hit on Miller - 2 goals in 17 seconds - 2013 finals - Marchand's licking and other controversial antics - Joe Thornton trade - Boston being on pace for Presidents Trophy in 2020 but ending up the fourth seed because of the special playoff format and them losing all their round robin games - 2023 playoff choke - Jack Edwards calling Pat Maroon fat - ... Jack Edwards Can you name any more for Boston?

In the Oilers section you at one point show a picture of Jason Smith (Oilers defenseman in the late 90s and 00s) rather than Steve Smith (Oilers defenseman in the 80s and early 90s).

I seem to recall another embarrassing moment for the Devils that took place last season, I think. They were playing Toronto and that game saw three different Devil goals rejected for different violations.

I think Torontos loss against Ayers is more embarrasing than their collapse against the Bruins tbh. Matches getting completely turned around in the 3rd period happens now and again, but an NHL team losing to a zamboni driver is something we will never see again

realest embarrassment in hockey is when the Leafs went and made a whole documentary about how they completely screwed up a 3-1 lead against the Habs. I mean, its so fucking hilarious to watch that thing. "And, its over."

as a blues fan, i hate the coach for how he handled Gretzky

Mark Scheifele slamming Jake Evans into the board gratuitously after Evans scored an empty netter , getting suspended and losing the playoffs.

Bruins losing 1st round last year after a record regular season was way worse than in the final in 2013

For Philly, the game last season where the Wells Fargo Center looked like a Rangers home game was beyond embarrassing. It was so bad that they finally fired Chuck Fletcher.

Bro that was not Luc Robitaille 😂

Edmonton’s was way off. How about drafting top picks for 10 years straight and still not being able to make the playoffs. No other team in history has done this

Honorable mention for Edmonton: trading Wayne Gretzky

Patrick Kane was then warned by the public to stay out of Buffalo. We know he beat that cabby up. As you see, he stayed away. 😂

Blake Comeau's pass to Nathan MacKinnon against the Jets was the most embarrassing moment in Avalanche history. That was the moment the team truly hit the rock bottom

I think the Bruins should have been this years playoffs going 3 to 1 and only needing 1 more win to letting the Panthers win 3 games in a row to knock them out after a historic year

for Vegas, i personally wouldve went for the game 7 when they hurt Pavelski that gave the sharks the long play that let SJ come all the back and Goodrow won it in OT. that one L losing like that was the real embarrassment for Vegas. for chicago, i wouldve taken the kyle beach case with the sexual assault case and for Arizona, how they knowingly took a guy that was known to have mentally bullied a kid for years yet the yotes still took him

Lightnight fan/Tampa resident here. The thing about that embarrassing Lightning playoff sweep. It sucked. It was embarrassing. But thankful it happened. Because ya know, we learned from that and then went to win two consecutive cups. Almost a 3rd.

Huge flames fan, one of the few games I've been to was the Wideman incident, so glad to be a part of "history" 😭

Another embarrassing moment for the Flames was when a streaker tried to streak, but he fell down, got sent to the hospital and arrested.

Speaking of embarrassing moments, if you are going to talk about the Edmonton Oilers and Steve Smith #5, then perhaps you should not pair that with a picture of Jason Smith #21....

Or Boston listing a 3-1 series lead to a team that shouldn’t have even made the playoffs, in a season where the bruins won 65 games. In the first round.

I think the most embarrassing moment for the Oilers was losing to the Kings in the playoffs after being up 5-0. I still don't believe any lead less than 6 goals is safe. Even then, I'm not confident until the game is over.

With Anaheim, it was more embarrassing losing a string of Game 7 home games during the Bruce Boudreau era. I was at one of them as an LA fan watching the Kings just school them. Ducks fans didn't even stay to salute Teemu Selanne's last game. Speaking of L.A. That was just part of a bigger embarrassment story caused by Bruce McNall's criminal activities coming to light, the team being forced to trade away key star players, and ultimately putting the team into bankruptcy. Gretzky most likely would ave remained and retired as a King if Bruce was still around (and able to pay for players he needed) ... in fact he refused have his number retired by the Kings until McNall was free from prison and could attend the ceremony,

Maple Leaf Gardens sex scandal is easily the most embarrassing thing the Leafs organization was ever involved in - kids were literally abused in the players dressing room.

Really...the pens just get the live mascot story? (More sad than embarassing) Not the 42-game winless streak at the Spectrum; from 1974, through February 2, 1989? The final 2 games of last year to the leagues professional bottom feeders to miss the playoffs? The Stadium series 2018 choke? The Saint Patrick's day of 2019 choke? The Montreal 2020 choke? The bankruptcies?

For the Vegas one, I would have chosen the playoff series against the San Jose Sharks. They had led the series 3-1, but they let the Sharks tie the series up. They also could have easily won game 7 with a 3-0 lead in the third quarter, but they committed a penalty to Joe Pavelski that results in a 5 minute power play. The Sharks score 4 goals to take the lead. Vegas ties the game up near the end of regulation, but then give up the game winning goal to San Jose and the series win as well.

Was there a reason you showed a pic of Jacob Vrana when you said Luc Robitaille? just a mistake or is there a joke I'm missing? just curious.

Is the person who made this video even a hockey fan? The picture of the Oilers player at 10:06 is Jason Smith not Steve Smith lol. Before you say its easy to mix the two up, it's not. The two played some 20 years apart from each other.

Funny that you uploaded this video less than a day ago, and the Kraken have been playing well since, apparently, you recorded their segment. i agree that it was pretty bad, but this season is doing better than this video would imply.

the blackhawks front office covering up sexual assault accusations in a reaction of fearful of locker room chemistry being jeopardized seems way more embarrassing than kane and his cousin beating up a cabbie

The Wild’s most embarrassing moment is when they played in the Western Conference Finals in the 2003 playoffs, they only scored one goal in those four losses. They were outscored 9-1 to the Mighty Ducks and got swept.

Why was there a Jason Smith pic in the Steve Smith self goal?

For the Rangers, I'm sure there are way more embarrassing moments than having to trade Leetch. It was sad to see him be traded, but it was what needed to be done at the time. The Rangers were at the end of a pretty bad era (97-04), so the trades needed to happen. Plus, one of those trades that spring brought us Jaromir Jagr, who would go on to break the Rangers single season scoring record the next season.

For Columbus it’s gotta be the 2005 draft. Were 1 of 3 teams with the highest odds for 1st overall Crosby. Instead, they fell all the way to 6th overall. On top of that, all the CBJ scouts told their GM to take Anze Kopitar, he said no and took Gilbert Brule, who was then rushed and ruined.

Ahhh yes. The game where we scored 3 goals against Cory, even tho we were supposed to be defending that net. Good times.

Since you missed Vancouver Canucks, Ill offer two choices since I cant decide which is more embarrassing. 1. Those fucking ghastly Hallowe'en uniforms. 2. Pulling off the genius move of the century in stealing Pavel Bure as a draft choice, and then not even having the GM or coach go to Los Angeles to welcome him when he landed there. They left him there for some time until he made his own way to Vancouver. Although now that I think about it, there have been many other teams with uniforms equally as revolting, so I guess Ill go with the Bure situation.

Philly has a good one that the STL Police basicaly covered for them, Jody Hull, Rod Brind Amour and some other teammates were at a club called Kennedy's ad Hull was acting like a big shot, well the team mates started a brawl and got their asses kicked, yet a couple of cops were involved and they cleaned it up, yet there were a bunch of us who seen it and were amazed at the cover up due to the brawl and how bad Hull got his ass kicked.

Schneider trade for Horvat, what a bad trade for both teams. Vancouver could have gotten more, and NJ was a bad team, they should have been picking 1st or 2nd, but he won them 15-20 games per year by himself. Only when he was finally injured for a long time did they get to fix the team. What a dumb trade for NJ.

"He was charged with allegedly assaulting?" Are you even trying?

LOL why did you show a picture of jason smith for the oilers?

na na na the Flyers one is undoubtedly the Ed Snyder wristband incident.

As a flyers fan, I could have thought of 100 way more embarrassing things than just having a shitty season 😂😂. Mr.Universe!

That poor penguin in Pittsburgh-they could have just dressed him up and paraded around the ice. LA Kings-I’d nominate the fellow who had the illegally curved stick in the Stanley Cup finals.

From a literary standpoint, if you claim that all examples are embarrassing in your thesis, you don’t need to routinely use the word embarrassing to clarify each example. You can just present them, you already claimed that they’re embarrassing in your thesis and title, it’s redundant.

Most embarrassing for the Bruins is the Milbury shoe incident imo

As an Avalanche fan I'd make the argument that there's way more embarrassing things that happened to us than Game 6 & 7 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals since at least Detroit was just as much of if not more of a contender than the Avs that season. Literally the year after, we blew a 3-1 series lead in the first round to a third year Minnesota Wild team and lost in OT in Game 7 in Denver. There's others like our original mascot Howler beating up an opposing fan, Patrick Roy's tenure as coach, the 2016-17 season in general and even this year losing to the second year Seattle Kraken in the first round in 7 despite going in as defending cup champions and holding the #1 seed in the Central that i'd argue were more embarrassing overall

The most embarrassing moment for Tampa is walking off the ice when no whistle was blown and got and getting scored on

The Islanders were almost bought by a con man? The Blackhawks, pretty sure they had another more embarrassing moment.

10:07 this is not Steve Smith 😑 it’s Jason Smith

I thought for sure this was made before this year...since no one in their right mind wouldn't've chosen my boys most embarrassing moment as last years epic choke in the first round of the playoffs after the season they had last year. Hell, though I wouldn't agree because of why it happened, I would've picked when the Bruins players went into the stands at MSG in '79 over this choice. 🤷‍♀️

Dereck stepan for Dallas where he missed the open net to lose the game?

Wideman thing should have been the last time he was seen on the ice. Disgrace.

Vancouver has left the chat

No way Dallas ain’t Patrick Stefan missing the empty net and then the oilers coming and scoring 5 seconds later

Nah, that Devil's sweep sucked but how embarrassing can it be getting beat by a style of play that ended up defining hockey for the next decade and required massive rule changes to stamp out of the game? For a real embarrassment for the Wings I leave it at two words: Goose Loonies.

Im watching this like "Kay, how is he gonna pick Just *One* for the Leafs?"

Can't give you hockey creds when you use a stock picture of Jason (Gator) Smith instead of Steve Smith. Sorry.

Kane assaulting a cab driver isn't even in the top 10 for the shithawks. Bedard shouldn't even be on their team if they had been appropriately published for what is actually the most embarrassing moment in the history of their franchise. It's really pathetic how the hockey world/media haven't done what they can to at least make sure no one ever forgets the fact that they protected a sexual predator and directly allowed for him to commit at least one additional assault, that we know of.

He was returned to the Pittsburgh zoo and died soon after. Bro 💀💀

If it wasn't for the Blue Jackets blowing out the Lightning in round 1, the back-to-back champs may not have existed. Thanks Columbus!

Of course for the Oilers it had to be 1986 Keep in mind the Oilers had over half a period to tie the game (or even take the lead) This was a high powered Oilers team that scored goals almost at will.

The brooks orpik in the background is the best

Minnesota is by far our WCF performance.

The Coyotes’ small arena is temporary

That was not the flames most embarrassing moment. Game 7 in round 1 of the 2004 Stanley cup playoffs was the worst. I have never seen a game with less effort in my entire life, and the fact that it was in the playoffs made it that much worse.

Did he say King's new Head Coach, "Larry ROBERTSON"???

Kinda feel you gave NYI a hall pass there. For instance when John Spano bought the team with no money would've been a better choice, or maybe when their 1st overall pick in 2000 Rick DiPietro who had to be bought out in 2013 and they are STILL paying him.

No North Stars? That might be the most embarrassing moment of this video!

Minnesota’s most embarrassing moment was retiring number 1 for their fans when the city already lost their previous franchise

The echl (the league below ahl) team in my city has a better seating capacity than mullet arena 🤣🤣

Plenty to choose from with Boston 🍿 - Bruins blowing 3-0 series lead to Philadelphia in 2010 - The Joe Thornton trade - Jack Edwards on commentary - First round loss to 8th seeded Florida after record breaking season in 2022 As for Toronto no disagreements, but The Harold Ballard era gets a dishonorable mention For NYI yeah that's the starting point, but The Mad Mike era takes the cake. He traded away a dynasty team (Rick DiPietro also gets a shout-out) For Vancouver the Mark Messier era left a bad taste in their mouths Flyers record breaking losing streak should get a dishonorable mention (I think that was the same season they also used 8 goalies which is also a record)

Kane is loved by many so that story basically doesn’t mean anything anymore cause you don’t see anyone hating him

Islander is 100% John Spano Owner Story!!! It is the most embarrassing moment of ALL THE NHL Selling your team to a scammer

Coming from a die-hard Leafs I think blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Montreal Canadiens was worse than 2013

San Jose was wrong as well. It’s like this guy knows nothing about hockey lol.

theres so many things you can pick for chicago lmao. what a joke of a franchise

You know you cant get a 10 minute game misconduct right?

Benn is a piece of work

6:34 that’s not robitaille 😭

C'mon....if you say Dallas...you have to include the Minnesota North Stars. What's more embarrassing than Dino Cicceralli having a fascination with opening his garage door nude?

Alright, in defense of hacky sack, there's nothing embarrassing about playing hacky sack. Injuring yourself while playing hacky sack sucks, yes, but I wouldn't call it embarrassing.

Patrick and James shouldn’t have beaten up that cab driver. Sure, cabbies do have a bad reputation but that doesn’t mean they deserve to be assaulted
