Linden has never had anything bad to say about Messier, or vice-versa.

Others did.
OTOH, I never heard a bad word about Iginla

Anyone besides Gino Odjick?

Yeah, I have never heard anything less than complimentary about Iginla's character, etc. Is there actually any dirt on the guy?

Overrated...
Orr (LQ), Richard (LQ), Dryden (LQ and best D of the 70's) and Messier (as a leader)

Underrated...
Hasek (many people think he's not the GOAT 'tender), Iginla (Dead Puck & underrated leader), Serge Savard (great defensive defenceman overshadowed by Robinson), Orland Kurtenbach (never gets mentioned in great hockey name threads)

It your opinion but I feel the exact opposite of Iginla as a leader, he was a poor playoff performer who couldn't get it done...but he had a nice smile so a pass from the media.

I don't understand the Messier thing, I mean I know he didn't make the playoffs with the Canucks but they didn't even make it before he arrived anyway
