Other Canucks:
Out of 183 votes, Demko was voted 3rd best goalie in the league with 7.6% of the votes and Vancouver was voted 5th best road city to play in with 6% of the votes.
Boeser got a mention in the most overrated player category, while JT Miller got a mention in the most underrated players category.
Zadorov made the list too!!
How the fuck is tyler bertuzzi not on this list
I get most of the names being on this list, but Garland, Skinner, and Zegras are not the names I would have associated with this.
What did Garly even do? 😭
Also 147 votes. We have more voter participation in our subreddit. This poll is nothing.
wtf? JT Miller assaulted that guy in the pumpkin patch and he’s not even on the list?
/s
C’mon Allvin, a first and kuzzy for this Other guy he seems to get under people’s skins!
How many times do you think Dakota Joshua voted in this poll?
Pretty unbecoming to even have a poll like this in a publication if I’m totally honest.
These guys are just mad at our spinny boi
Sort of surprised not to see Hoglander included in the “Other” breakdown. Not that he’s particularly dirty, but because he works so hard and his effort level seems to piss off other players when he relentlessly checks them.
Honestly surprised garland is even that high, thought Höglander might be based on how often other players got in his face early in the season. Could see argument being garland is a pain and so easy to take a penalty on cause he’s smaller/more easily thrown around and the fact he’s just super persistent. More of an annoying to play against punch than a you’re scum punch.
Not surprised. Even his own teammate, Joshua, wanted a piece of him in practice.
Stepping away from hockey for a second; how insane is it that some org will poll your colleagues on who is the most hated among them and publish it for them to see?
Makes sense why Garland has the most penalties drawn in the team lol
Remember when Mackinnon threw a helmet at Garland? Yeah checks out
