The Bruins aren't overrated, they aren't getting too much media attention, and they don't have any more luck than anyone else.

He's right, though, about their players being unlikeable (Marchand, Lucic, Thornton, Rask and, in recent years, Ferrence), them getting favorable reffing (in addition to refs generally swallowing their whistles during Bruins games, if that blatant interference was called in the 3rd period of game 7 against Toronto, they'd be sitting at home right now), their coach being a whiney d-bag (watch his rant on diving and then remember that he coaches Marchand), and their fans being the biggest jerks in hockey (the Leafs fan who got knocked out by a suckerpunch at the Garden this year was at least the 3rd Canadian fan they've put in the hospital since '08).

The Bruins do get more than their fair share of media attention for sure, just saw another "Tough as the region" or something similar article. I also think they get away with alot of non calls and have for quite awhile now. They know it too, they work with it.
