Everyone can agree that Brad Marchand talks a lot of trash, but his colleagues apparently can't agree on whether he's good or bad at it.
The results of the 2018-19 NHLPA Players Poll (which polls more than 500 current NHL players) were released Wednesday, and Marchand won the vote for both best trash-talker in the league (21.3%) and worst trash-talker in the league (12.5%).
Marchand celebrated his pair of victories on Twitter:
Feeling so honored right now all those years of hard work has paid off!! Want to thank everyone who has supported me in this journey to best and worst trash talker and all my work colleagues around the NHL couldnt have done it without you! @NHLBruins @NHL @NHLPA pic.twitter.com/ofAj1DNFod

March 20, 2019 Patrice Bergeron also received votes in a pair of categories -- “Who is the most difficult player to play against?” and “Which player would you select to start a franchise with?” -- but lost out to Edmonton's Connor McDavid in both categories.
