vcrguy Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I just came across this article........... http://www.thesportster.com/hockey/top-20-overrated-nhl-players The top 20 overrated NHL players: 20. Edler Van 19. Ehrhoff Buff 18. Havlat NJ 17. Leino Boston (tryout) 16. Kesler Ana 15. Green Wash 14. Fleury Pitt 13. Johnson Col 12. Clowe NJ 11. Sedins Van 10. Penner UFA 9. Levcavalier Phi 8. Ovechkin Wash 7. Ward Car 6. Staal Car 5. Orpik Wash 4. Callahan TB 3. Clarkson TO 2. Phaneuf TO 1. Nash NYR I'm thinking the guy who wrote this hates the Eastern Conference (and Vancouver) as the only Western players he named are: Edler, Kesler, Sedin, Sedin and Johnson So who on the list do you think doesn't belong there and who isn't named that does? I'd say Nash shouldn't be on that list and Joe Thornton should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 How are players like Clowe, Penner, Leino overrated? They are hardly talked about, 1 is an UFA another is in the KHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Sedins should be off the list, but I can see why they were on there after last season. Havlat has been damaged goods for awhile. Leino is already known to suck. Dustin Penner is a very odd player but I don't really know if he is overrated or not. Vanek, Backstrom, Ryan, Shattenkirk, Hemsky, Semin, Richards, J. Staal, Eriksson (went from underrated to overrated), J Johnson, Gaborik, Brown, Hodgson, Myers, Doughty (offensively) are all players I find to be a bit overrated. Kesler is vastly overrated. He had less ESP than Kassian last year. Good defensively, but horribly overrated offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 So much fail. Love how the Sedins are in there instead of Kessel lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 None of those players are overrated. Many are overpaid, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The fact that nearly every "overrated" list has the same players on it clearly means that those players aren't technically being overrated anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Nash?! What? The man has 13 goals in 19 games and is on pace for the best season of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Clarkson Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Joe Thornton should be. No, he really shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Lol the Sedins. Where's Toews? He's overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefcakeBo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Crosby is overrated. Don't get me wrong, he is really good, and is the top player of his generation. He isn't #99 or #66 good though. The media just pumps his tires so hard and the NHL wants him to be better than Gretzky so they can sell merch and blow up tv deals in Canada and the States ect. But he just isn't quite as good as they make him out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The fact that this person's list allotted two players a single spot shows me their understanding of the game. Why do such articles even make it on here? So that people can complain about the irrelevant opinion of a writer who wrote an article that none of us want to see. I have never even heard the name of the site. When i create a thread and post an article its probably to share an article that I found interesting. I would never create a thread just to share an article written by a hack who displayed his lack of knowledge of the game for all to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The problem is, half that list isn't over rated. Half of them are just over payed, but not over rated by any means. In fact, most people are under rated on that list. The ones I agree with are Clowe, Fleury, Ovechkin, Ward, Staal, and Phaneuf. The rest all just had/have bad contracts or a crap year. Heck even Nash is ripping it up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
