Here it is. I have already said that Lidstrom is the best d-man of his era. Does that put him in the Top 10 all time?? Ya, more than likely.
What I have argued is that those would consider Lidstrom as the hand's down, best defenseman to ever play, that is over rating him. And not just over rating him, grossly over rating him. Compared to Orr (weather you like it or not) my opinion is that no defenseman ever comes close. In comparing Lidstrom to Bourque, Potvin, Robinson, Harvey, or Pilote. That is an over rate as well. Putting Lidstrom in the top 5-10 all time, some might say it's a stretch but I would't argue that too much.
He is over rated when the statement of Top 5 to ever play the game is concerned. Grossly over rated when the statement is made as Lidstrom is the best of all time.
Hopefully that clears up my point. |

Who is the most over-rated of all time??
