I don't watch the Hurricanes often (I'm a Rangers fan), but as of late whenever I notice Cole, especially in these playoffs, he's playing a bit dirty. I know he doesn't have the reputation of a Tucker, Ruutu or an Avery (which is more trash talking than actual dirty hits/injuries), but he's quickly gotten himself on my "hate" list...

That is, "dirty" players who you hate when they're on another team but love if they are on your own team, ie: Theo Fleury, aforementioned Sean Avery, Darius Kasparaitis (when he didn't suck), Matt Barnaby, Chris Pronger, etc.
