Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Kesler has established himself as one of the league's premier talkers of trash. These "chirps" have helped make Kesler among opposing fans' most hated players.
That was perhaps never more apparent than during the Ducks' first-round sweep of the Winnipeg Jets last season. With the capacity crowd at Winnipeg's MTS Centre regularly launching into "Kesler sucks" chants, it was clear that one of the NHL's most notorious prank-loving agitators had officially made his mark in Southern California.
Since coming to Anaheim from the Vancouver Canucks in a 2014 offseason trade, Kesler's antagonistic tactics have gone into overdrive.
