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

Anyone besides Gino Odjick?Others did.
Yeah, I have never heard anything less than complimentary about Iginla's character, etc. Is there actually any dirt on the guy?OTOH, I never heard a bad word about Iginla
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.

That sound like one of the highest compliment one can get, coming from Avery.Sean Avery once made a harsh comment about Iginla, saying he was "too boring".
There are some ridiculous opinions on Howe out there. His numbers are ridiculous, but he was more than just his numbers.Overrated
Martin Brodeur
Patrice Bergeron
Nick Lidstrom
Pavel Datsyuk (btw he's one of my all-time faves)
Underrated
Doug Harvey
Phil Esposito
Glenn Hall
Gordie Howe (I'm starting to encounter people and heat media personalities put Crosby above Howe too easily, and it's stressing me out lol)
Wait. It will get easier with age to just smile or nod or blink and realize opinions shift with generations and you don't really gaf what someone who never saw them play nor studied hockey history thought.Underrated....
