Henrik 2nd most overrated player in NHL

per other nhl players.

Hags not getting much love either.

Hank puzzles me. He is a top goalie. I think that is pretty hard to argue. Not sure what the point is there.

Hags is funny to me. Who overrates him? Did I miss when someone acted like he was this big player? The guy is a nice lower top 6, or top 9, 15-20 goal guy. Who acts like he is more than that?

 

[NYR31]

maybe himself? i have no idea, but this came from other players so maybe Hags yaps his mouth on the ice about his greatness? lol..who knows. His name being mentioned makes little sense.

 

[chuckd3534]

That could be the case. Maybe he does have a big mouth. That would make sense. Otherwise it is funny that he would be on that list considering no one really thinks he is anything special.

Steen is very underrated, I wanted the Rangers to deal for him at the deadline. Probably could've gotten him for DZ and a pick. Looks like he's a UFA so that might be a nice FA choice next year.

 

[chuckd3534]

We need to hold onto DZ forever. We cannot trade him. Come on man...LOL.

Interesting that both were on there. I can kind of see Lundqvist as he is a good looking dude is many times the face of the NHL when its not Cindy. He hasnt had very much success in the playoffs but pretty easy to argue that isnt his fault. I think he is viewed as overrated based on how front and center he is moreso than his play on the ice.

Hagelin. LOL That is just stupid. Maybe NHL players dont think he can play and outside of his speed they think he is useless. I would say he is overrated as anything but a 3rd liner but per the previous comments who really thinks he is more than that?

With what we have on our 3rd lines right now I would take another Hags in a heartbeat

LMAO. Yeah, a guy that is in the top 3 goalies every year for the Vezina and hasn't ever had a real offense in front of him is overrated. Gee. You don't think it's massive jealousy from a bunch of dumbazzzzz, top 30 farm boys in the NHL. Spare me. I guarantee you most of those 30 players who voted never did jack against Lundqvist. Especially, if it wasn't on the PP.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

How is Hagelin overrated? He's considered a solid role player. Seems like to me you had a bunch of dumbazzz, jealous of the attention NY gets, loser NHL players who hate the fact they don't play for the Rangers vote. Gimme a break. Lundqvist and Hagelin overrated. If you want overrated, start with imbeciles like Zajac, Mike Green, Ryan Miller, Vanek, Jordan Staal, Stastny, Crawford, Lucic. Those guys go through long periods of sucking ass and never getting any abuse for it.

Calling Bylsma the smartest coach is laughable. That dumbass couldn't find a way to get a loaded team to do anything good against the Bruins. What do I get the feeling that about 5 moron players on the Penguins voted on this poll.

 

[chuckd3534]

The Pens did win a cup a few years back, but since then guess how many ECF trips they have...1 just like us. And they are favored EVERY SINGLE SEASON. Always picked as the best team. Always picked to win the cup. We got that kind of push last year, and that is all. And yet same # of ECF trips as us. And he is this great coach. Interesting.

 

[NYR31]

Its not Bylsma's fault if ESPN and the media overrates the Pens. That has nothing to do with his coaching abilities. He has a shaky D and a terrible goalie that get exposed in the PO's, and his GM doesn't fix those issues.

I do think Bylsma is a very good coach. When Crosby and/or Malkin have gone down for extended periods of time they always seem to keep winning with players meeting or exceeding career standards.

 

[chuckd3534]

I think he is fine as a coach. My point is coaching is a results business. And since their cup how have his results been? Just whatever IMO, double so when you factor in they are a favorite every season.
