why do we do this to ourselves?

Hasn't the start of the season been enough torment?

This thread speaks volumes about the psyche of fans here...

Every single one of our top players is listed

A fan base will/should work much like the markets: lots of different opinions that result in what is usually the best guess of value. Assuming that's true, or even mostly true, then the general, aggregate view of each player should be expected to be reasonably accurate.

So either fans have some serious inferiority complexes, or everyone thinks the definition of over-rated means: the overall view differs from my personal view.

It's fairly subjective especially when a large portion of the posters drink a lot of alcohol every game. I was watching a game sober and I realized how much it clouds peoples judgement here, a player can have a fairly decent game and then one mistake will stick out in someones mind and stay in their memory. I think a lot of us (including myself) are guilty of that.

I would like to see the Flames offer a lottery where a poster from this can play a game a shinny against their "overrated" player. Maybe there would be a bit more respect to their talent.

I think Dougie Hamilton has become underrated. In part due to the relatively lower than expected acquisition cost, Boston trying to make losing him more palatable to fans, and his rough start on the team.

Guy still had a career year, and played solid defensively (after that ugly start anyways). There is even a thread about him now "The woes of Dougie Hamilton".

Some people have Monahan as 'overrated' - I have him as underrated now. People may not realize that since the all-star break, he has out-produced Gaudreau.

Overrated - Gaudreau. He is good, but he isn't the son of a hockey god sent down to this miserable planet to redeem our souls. Well, maybe he is, but he hasn't been "Son of God Like", just really damn good and fun to watch.

Underrated or Overrated - it is all about perception (or what you think is the popular perception around players). It isn't about how terrible or how awesome a player is. It is what the difference between what you think is the actual level of play and what you feel is the perception league-wide.

The majority of our prospects. We all felt really good this summer in the prospect rankings but where are they now?
