Unlike soccer flopping isn't a major issue in the sport but it happens on occasion. Who's currently the worst flopper in the NHL?

"Flopping" as in diving? I'd say Marchand or Bishop. Crosby used to do it but not anymore.

Kovalev, too, if we include former players.

Back in late October Flyers at Devils, during the game that Taylor Hall put his hand to his ear after he scored a big goal, Jake Voracek pretended to take a high stick. The ref called a penalty, but during the ensuing tv timeout Voracek admitted to the ref that he faked the entire episode. No penalties were called for either team. Voracek would've been hit w/ an embellishment penalty had he not fessed up during the commercial. I wonder if Marchand, the worst "sportsman" in the league, would've been as conscientious?

It wasn't a fake. Voracek just tried to make sure he didn't get high-sticked.

That's certainly one way to look at it. He skated right to the ref to plead his case after the whistle. Guilty conscience.
