NHL players settle debates in 2021-22 NHLPA Player Poll

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

According to 447 NHL players, they'll do just that when facing Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand.
The National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) released its
2021-22 Player Poll
results on Wednesday where roughly 500 NHL players voted on 15 hockey- and non-hockey-related topics from the regular season. When asked about the player they least enjoyed playing against but would want on their own team, 118 (26.4%) players said Marchand and 82 (18.3%) said Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid.
Hopefully, they're cutting up the ice at Centre Bell. The home of the Montreal Canadiens won 'best ice' for the fourth time by a margin of nearly 26%, separating it from runner up Rogers Place. Canada is stocked in the stadium department as Montreal, Edmonton and Winnipeg's Canada Life Centre swept the first three spots in the ranks.

Quebec has the ice, but Nevada has the slots.
Approximately 158 of 516 voters (30.6%) said Las Vegas is the best city to spend an off day in. New York City (17%), Fort Lauderdale (10.4%) and Los Angeles (10%) followed suit.

No matter the city, the players still may find their way to the golf course.
Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski, New York Rangers forward Greg McKegg, Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brady Skjei, Columbus Blue Jackets forward Gustav Nyquist and Chicago Blackhawks forward Sam Lafferty all caught votes for making it as a golfer if they weren't hockey players. Pavelski leads the pack with 4% of 300 votes.
New York Islanders forward Anders Lee got 3.6% of votes and Rangers forward Ryan Reaves 1.6% for what could've been a thriving football career if they weren't in the NHL.

The debate for best hair boiled down to a single percent. Of 392 votes, Buffalo Sabres forward Cody Eakin emerged victorious with 8.9% of the votes for his flowy and vibrant locks. Vegas Golden Knights forward William Karlsson's long and well-conditioned mane is close behind with 7.9% of the tallies.

If "Fleabag" was right and hair is the difference between a good day and a bad day, then it looks like Eakin is groomed for good days to come.
