Anonymous poll of NHL players.

^ As much of a "d*ck" Torts is I am amazed he got more votes than Hitchcock.

Which coast would you least like to play for???

East Coach bias.

Coincidentally, Torts finished fifth in the "want to play for" list.

Bergeron kinda surprised me.

That guy loves to hide in fans' houses with balloons and a cake. Super nice guy.

True but he does have that respect of being a great two-way player. With that said I think with the Crosby/McDavid picks they went after the perceived "best" players. Honestly I thought Kucherov would have been up there more.

The Penguins will graciously waive Gudbranson or Johnson for you.

Bergeron is great, I just figured that he wasn't really one of the marketed guys that would come to mind first. Most underrated, sure. But overall best, just shows how good he truly is, and that everyone knows it.

Look again, it said "defensive" depth.

Taylor Hall Undergoes Knee Surgery

The survey of NHL players results are invalid as nobody was asked the simple questions of bug or windshield. WTF, I thought the Athletic had decent journalists.

 

[tducey]

Agree with them on Crosby being the best player. He's still the best player in the league for me.

I heart Carey Price.

Id say getting kicked out of the game before it starts is a waste of money but I’m sure he enjoyed the bucket of chicken that came with a free game ticket.
