"Wilson, who one anonymous respondent listed as having the "most punchable face" in the league during the 2023-24 season, did not appear when players were asked the same question this year. When asked about where he ranked two seasons ago, Wilson responded by saying, "I'd probably punch that guy in the face, too," which could have been threatening enough to keep him off the most recent list."
"Ottawa Senators forward Nick Cousins (24.3 percent) retains his top spot, world-renowned pest Brad Marchand (19.6 percent) stays second, and Matthew Tkachuk (10.3 percent) ranks third once more despite not yet playing a game this season. "I can't stand him," a player said of Cousins. "I heard he's a good guy, but I'd still love to punch him in the face." "Little rat," another succinctly said about Marchand. "Matthew is an a**hole in front of the net," one reply said of Tkachuk."
Tom Wilson did not appear on the latest anonymous NHL player poll asking who has the most punchable face, though he was named in a prior poll. Nick Cousins kept the top spot with 24.3 percent, Brad Marchand remained second with 19.6 percent, and Matthew Tkachuk stayed third with 10.3 percent despite not yet playing this season. Several players offered blunt descriptions of the three, including statements about punching Cousins and calling Marchand a "little rat." Wilson's fighting frequency has declined since 2021-22, he served six games late in 2023-24 for high-sticking, and he leads the NHL in career penalty minutes (1,586).
