HERE ARE THE MOST HATED PLAYERS IN THE NHL

The website OnlineCasino.ca conducted a study on the twenty most hated players in the National Hockey League. Not surprisingly, Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals is the most hated player.

The number 2 is quite surprising with Artemi Panarin. Was the study done based on the controversy over Wilson punching Pavel Buchnevich, who was playing for the Rangers at the time, and then Panarin punching the ice? That would be entirely plausible.

Finally, it's T.J. Oshie in third place, followed by William Nylander in fourth place and Evander Kane in fifth place. Here is the rest of the rankings:

6 - Phil Kessel
7 - Patrik Laine
8 - Patrick Kane
9 - Brad Marchand
10 - Alex Ovechkin
11 - Vladimir Tarasenko
12 - Jack Hughes
13 - Kris Letang
14 - David Pastrnak
15 - Brendan Gallagher
16 - Evgeni Malkin
17 - P.K. Subban
18 - Carey Price
19 - Taylor Hall
20 - Connor McDavid
