The most overrated player for years (voted on by his own peers) has been Dion Phaneuf. You should know that, being a Leafs fan.

So Nash is 2nd most overrated at best, just wanted to clear that up.

Stunning stick save from Quick.

One of those polls you're mentioning had 40 players polled. 3 answered Dion. Hardly proof of anything,

While Dion was being laugh-at for being horrible, Rick Nash was being called a "Franchise Player" while leading the Jackets to 0 playoffs wins in a decade.

So who's really overrated?

If a guy gets zero compliments, that is not overrated. You don't understand what it means.

Rick Nash is a franchise player you build your team around.

I know what it means and I can use it in a sentence.

Although Rick Nash is overrated, he still isn't as overrated as Dion Phaneuf.

So you feel Dion has gotten more acclaim and less criticism than Rick Nash the past 5 years?

An amazing pass by Williams to Carter! 1-0!

[Hockey_Ninja]

The first time the Kings have lead all series.

[jammies]

Back on topic, those of you who aren't watching this series are missing some good hockey.

Oh, and as I say that, Carter scores for LA at 19:59 of the 1st.

[CalgaryFan1988]

Puck hit Girardi's skate.

[JJ1532]

Deflection or not, can't help but feel Lundqvist still should have blocked that.

[Canuck-Hater]

Feels like the Rangers have made a ton of silly mistakes every game and it always ends up in their net.

[edn88]

bugs me how long the commentators took to realize that the puck was deflected.

[trackercowe]

One thing you can be sure about Bennett is that Don Cherry will probably feature him every week.

Kingston+Doug Gilmour=Cherry orgasm.

[trackercowe]

Man these guys have terrible taste in movies and music. I guess they don't have a ton of time to bother with that stuff though.

Luke Bryant? I barely even know who that is (country I think?).

[CalgaryFan1988]

Reinhart must want to be a Flame.

[Hockey_Ninja]

Sam's favorite player is Iggy. Please take him or Leon Flames.

[BigTuna]

I gotta say, Step Brothers is hilarious.

[JJ1532]

Some good insight with the prospects. My opinions on Reinhart have gone up, he loves Iggy!

Dal Colle has that Ovechkin look about him. Would be super excited with any of the top 4.
