If it was voted by hockey players, might be a different story…

Yeah I think the players are viewing this more as who is dirty or has temper tantrums and does stupid crap, and JEEK does neither of those things. I think people respect him as a player even if he’s frustrating to play against

No but Hartman did! See the bottom for the « other »

Maybe he was all of the « other » 😂

Enough people have already punched him in the face to satisfy their desire.

The reason Ek doesn’t get punched more is because he plays exactly to the appropriate line. He swings and chirps only when he has to. He is big enough and strong enough to be a grinder and to stand up for his team. The enemy blue line has to bark and he has to bark back, it’s all in balance.
Watching his PIMs and seeing his discipline is why no one hates JEEk

Gotta love JEEK’s game. The guy works his ass off and gets his opponents rattled.

That’s because Ek isn’t dirty. And I think anyone that loves hockey objectively has to respect Ek. Dude is a quintessential hockey player.

What did Fiala do lol?

Idk how Brady is there but not Matthew. I’d rather punch Matthew than Brady.

More importantly, he got a pretty high percentage in the « most underrated » poll. Tied with people around 3rd/4th place.
