Who exactly has underrated them? They're in the top 5 predicted to win the cup according to the Hockey News.
well... theres probably several million people that rate things... hell im sure you rate things
i know i do too
i can find you someone in this world that said wayne gretzky was a glorified puck hog that never won a cup after he left Edmonton and dcouldnt play defense if his life depended on it...
if we are just using 1 persons rating we can find all sorts of things
i made multiple points in my post... i pointed out marchand was 3rd in scoring... but when people predict who might be in the top scoring leaders this year no one picks him
i pointed out rask has the best career save % and best active goals against of any goalie in nhl… but he wont get any consideration for being talked about as a hall of famer if they discuss that in a news show this year
i keep hearing on leafs lunch and hockey central how drasaitl and mattthews are the only 2 candidates for next best player to McDavid... again my point is made
but its a hard point to understand i guess... and maybe there are some smart sources out there that rate boston almost up to the lofty standards their performance has earnt... but theres a hell of a lot of not smart people who laugh and mock and act all giggy when showing their own bias that there is no underrating going on because they think their own opinion is that boston is 1 injury away from falling in the grand canyon or some such nonsense
i stated some factual observations that im sure took most of you totally by surprise... but just go on saying that there is no underrating going on fine. and then if another team has a 5 game winning streak lets put them in the same breath as last years cup finalists {3 trips to the finals in this decade... again no team has more but will the bruins be cited as a dynasty team or a team that set the model for success?}
