    How is nurse overrated? Consensus is overpaid lol

  2. EarthWarping

    Barkov and Nurse in their categories is incorrect

  3. friskyjude

    Alright Marty Walsh gotta say something about Winnipeg

  4. Luke_Cold_Lyle

    4 cities less liked than the one with the college rink is pretty embarrassing.

    Also, the Red Wings not winning best uniforms is tragic.

  5. RooniltheWazlib

    Other is an absolute force in this league. Underrated, overrated, and punchable

  6. floodswimming

    Damn what the hell did Robertson do to piss people off?

  7. NebraskaAvenue

    I’m surprised Tampa isn’t Top 5, players rave about it here from personal experience

  8. SokkaWillRockYa

    Anaheim would win best jersey by a country mile if they got rid of the ugly ass webbed duck foot and brought back wild wing OG

  9. DarthNightnaricus

    Robertson 5th? Wow people hate twinks smh

  10. eatingasspatties

    Nurse is actually underrated at this point

  11. deeVeeAre

    I mean tampa should tie with the leafs seeing as they are the same jerseys

  12. verysadfrosty

    Are we able to see more than the top 5?

    And thank you for sharing!

  13. verysadfrosty

    Also, Barkov forever underrated since the day the dinosaurs died

  14. misfittroy

    Is there a correlation between “Favorite road city to play in” and strip clubs?

  15. the_big_slice34

    Is there a way to see who the others are for most underrated? Kinda defeats the purpose

  16. footy1012

    Mcdavid only getting 70% of best player vote after dropping 153 points last year is kinda crazy when the next closest player had 128, recency bias is wild

  17. Easily the funniest answer in the entire poll was someone saying the best goalie in the league was still Carey Price.

  18. riko77can

    Florida dominating the Punchable Faces /60 advanced stat.

  19. You know Boston is the 6th in the jersey list. O6 teams just have that look

  20. Best is interesting…. I don’t’ see either Colorado or Edmonton trading McDavid for MacKinnon (or vice-versa) in a straight up deal.

  21. bluelineturnovers

    But r/hockey told me I was just a hater when I suggested Zegras was a lil overhyped…guess the players are stupid too

  22. -cyg-nus-

    I think Mikko is the most underrated player. His game is so quiet but the points just roll in game after game. Even when MacK is out hurt, Mikko is capable of carrying the first line basically on his own.

  23. holocenefartbox

    The article for this and snippets from it have been posted like four times in the past week lol

  24. Euripidoze

    Note that the best jerseys are all original six, as it should be.  Though I would place the Habs’ in second place behind the Blackhawks 

  25. SnooDogs9048

    Dethroning Marchand is something to be proud of

  26. RoboNerdOK

    Zack Hyman was the original winner for best player. However it was removed after further review.

  27. BDNjunior

    Vasi hasnt been the best for a couple years now

  28. turbulentcounselor

    Nick Cousins being voted the most punchable is extremely satisfying 

  29. dontaskwonttell1

    Crosby being top 5 in this poll at 36 says everything anyone needs to know

  30. Remarkable-Sun-4286

    Top 5 goalies filled with Russians and Americans. My how the French Canadians have taken a back seat.

  31. Original-Cow-2984

    30% of the league that responded are saying McDavid isn’t the best player in the league. I guess that’s the entertaining part.

  32. How can the best player be someone without a Stanley Cup ring?

  33. jetshockeyfan

    The best part of the “whose face do you want to punch” poll was the three quotes that went with it:

    >“Played against him a long time,” one player said of Cousins. “Always hated the guy.”

    >“He’s gonna get a lot of answers on this one,” another rightly predicted.

    >“I’m buddies with him and I’d still say him,” said a third.

  34. StoneColdSteveAss316

    None of these actually surprised me.

  35. Barkov so underrated that everyone thinks he’s a great two way first line centre

  36. CasperCann

    If you cant say the name its barkov! I dont care if im wrong it feels too good to choose otherwise

  37. Steaknkidney45

    I marvel that even with the Oilers’ current streak, they’re still 12 points out of first.

  38. ProgDario

    The Jersey one is mind boggling. Don’t like any of those, but Red Wings??

  39. ppParadoxx

    Refuse to believe that coyotes jersey wasn’t a top 5 pick

  40. BettmansDungeonSlave

    We did it Edmonton. No longer on the worst 5 road cities list!

  41. Tkachuk and Bob were like the two best players in the playoffs last year. How is he landing in the overrated category? That’s wild

  42. courtesyofBing

    When a plurality says you’re underrated, you’re no longer underrated.

    Barkov is an amazing player. Stud. He’s similar to O’Riley in that way.

  43. Pretty embarrassing that the Blackhawks won best jersey. You’d think the controversy and criticism surrounding the logo would make it slightly less popular.
