Strange, I wouldn't think anyone would dislike Backstrom, doesn't seem like there's much to dislike about him, I'd say he's underrated if anything but that's just my opinion.

Holy crap, that is a lot of players to dislike. I guess a byproduct of all of the playoff series that the Pens have played?

Edit: And why Hyman?

How TF is Morgan Rielly overrated?

This must be personal preference, I find it really difficult to dislike Backstrom, and just as difficult to even remotely respect Kassian

Crawford is probably the most underrated goalie and quick and rinne aren't really overrated just old and not good anymore

In terms of pure offensive ability from Dmen he's one of the best ones, but as an overall player he's definitely overrated. He's straight up bad defensively. Also I think people weigh his 18/19 season way too heavily when evaluating his overall talent level. Nothing about his career as a whole suggests he's capable of being that level of player consistently.

backstrom bc PIT has played him so much and I'm sick of him setting up OVI lol
Hyman I just don't like IDK why....that's a bad reason...
Kassian just for whooping Tkachuk-only reason...

fair point. I guess they aren't overrated in general just some fans talk about them as If this were 2015/16

Which players do you dislike/like/respect or think are over/under rated?

PLEASE DON'T QUOTE THIS POST!

thanks.

Add Fleury to the overrated goalies (I get it you're a Pens fan you like him I understand but still)
Bergeron overrated???

Why can't I quote it?

Cuz everyone gets tagged again haha

Kassian also kicked Cernak in the stomach with his skate blade...

I no...just figured that I would throw it out there...lol

Oof, I forgot about that. It happened only a month before the season paused, but it feels like it was 20 years ago.

Even as an oilers fan who does like kassian cant defend that incident and truly believe he deserved a very harsh suspension.

Kassian in the respected category? Ok then

Edit: NVM, I see Tkachuk on the LW

Just curious but how do you divide the liked and the respected players to one and another? Because I find it hard to respect players I actively dislike, but also I don't think I dislike the players I don't respect in some ways... I dunno what's the difference between the two.

There are definitely player that I don't like or dislike but still respect. My example would be Crosby. I used to dislike him but he's gotten less annoying with age and I've always respected his talent

another very good point....I guess he should be on the one good moment but all else not so much list...

fleury I don't think is overrated....I think some PIT fans like him too much but overall he is what he is. he's an older goalie that can be a nice 1B...but he's had a HOF career for sure. I think that's for sure.
Bergeron just bc he wins the ridiculous selke trophy some years on rep only...like he's played 50 or 60 games and didn't even have stellar D stats (some years Sid/O'reilly/couturier/cirelli/etc...) have comparable or better stats)...and Bergeron still wins the trophy....I don't think Sid has ever won it...that stinks...he's been a good two-way player his whole career...
I respect Bergeron as well but for these purposes I put him as slightly overrated....

players I like--genuinely like watching play and "wish they were on my team", or just like their style.
players I respect--I don't wish for them, but I don't like playing against them bc I respect how good they are (McDavid, draisaitl, gally, pasta, Kuch, etc.) or stuff like that....or players no longer with my team and I don't like playing them now but I am appreciative for what they did for my team (Fleury, Hornqvist, Kessel, Hagelin)....or a player like lindblom or Mario Lemieux or mattaa that overcame cancer or something....

Saying Kassian has respect and not having Huberdeau in the most underrated players is a criminal offense.

I guess...but that'd apply to all top tier players of the sport...McDavid's speed, Crosby's playmaking, Ovechkin's shot...I kinda respect all the effort they've had to put in to become that good..but that'd sort of make this kind of lists pointless.

read previous posts...I only respect kassian for bashing tkachuk...not being a goon and kicking someone with a skate....
Huberdeau may be underrated but not for me...for me he's a top-5 LW in the league...fantastic player.
