Cody Ceci, a defenceman on the Ottawa Senators, is one of those players who is famous for being bad in certain circles. He has become the avatar of a certain sort of overrated and overplayed defender and, just lately he has snatched the crown away from Kris Russell as the tall and seemingly ineffective, yet heavily played defenceman who is the most talked about — but not in a good way — player.
To become the king of the bad defenders, derided on Twitter, it helps if you’re on a Canadian team or in a big US market.
