Mark Douglas "Moose" Messier, a legendary forward known for his talent, toughness, and profound respect in the hockey world, graced the game for an astonishing 25 seasons. Revered as one of the greatest players in the sport's history, Messier's regular-season records are nothing short of amazing he ranks third in points (1,887), eighth in goals (694), third in assists (1,193), and second in games played (1,756). His playoff statistics are even more awe-inspiring, ranking second all-time in goals (109), assists (186), and points (295), and fourth in games played (236).
Messier's accolades are a testament to his dominance and skill on the ice. He captured the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player twice, once with the Oilers in 1990 and again with the Rangers in 1992. With six Stanley Cup victories to his name and a Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 1984, his legacy is cemented in hockey lore.
This is what most people already know about Mark Messier. However, today I want to talk about why Mark Messier is hated by a certain fanbase. Most people forget, but during Messier's three years with the Vancouver Canucks, he did the most to make himself hated forever within the organization. So why exactly was he so hated, and why does the organization and its fans wanna forget the messier era in vancouver, well lets start at the beginning
