There were two great revelations in the recent National Hockey League Players Association poll.
The first was that Boston Bruins rascal Brad Marchand was voted by his peers as the league's best trash-talker (21.8 percent) ... and also its worst trash-talker (12.5 percent). In fairness, "worst" can take on a variety of meanings, so some of these votes could be for a 'no target spared' approach to chirping. Or, more likely, playing against Brad Marchand is like watching a "Deadpool" movie, where the capacious quantity of the jokes leads to equal piles of guffaws and groans.
