Most Overrated NHL Teams

The Top Ten
1 Washington Capitals The Washington Capitals (colloquially known as the Caps) are a professional ice hockey team based in Washington, D.C. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Capitals are owned by Monumental Sports & Entertainment, headed by Ted Leonsis. From 1974 to 1997 the Capitals played their home games at the Capital Centre, in... read more

Bruh, how is this team overrated? Almost every user but me hates them, it's just too underrated to be here. "Ovie sucked in the 2012 playoffs CROSBY'S BETTER" Just because Ovechkin wasn't the best at the playoffs doesn't mean the Caps are bad. "The Washington Capitals play like lower cases. I really hate those 'sore losers'." Are you actually kidding me? How about that time Washington congratulated the Blues for winning the 2019 Stanley Cup? That wasn't being a sore loser.

The Washington Capitals play like lower cases. I really hate those sore losers.

2 Toronto Maple Leafs The Toronto Maple Leafs, officially the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club and often simply referred to as the Leafs, are a professional ice hockey team based in Toronto, Ontario. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

Screw this team. If they play the red wings I won't care about that game because I will be too busy watching the Oilers. Oilers kick their butts. GO OILERS AND BLACKHAWKS! They are better than the dump of Toronto. Coming from a Canadian.

Haven't won a cup since '67 and they don't seem to be improving.

Right here! Leafs suck, Oilers and Blackhawks rule! Oilers vs LA Oilers win

3 New Jersey Devils The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey team based in Newark, New Jersey. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The club was founded as the Kansas City Scouts in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1974. The Scouts moved to Denver, Colorado in 1976 and became the Colorado Rockies. In 1982, they moved to East Rutherford,... read more
4 Vancouver Canucks The Vancouver Canucks are an ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

I disagree with this by a landslide. NO ONE talks nor do people care about them. The canucks are one of the most hated hockey teams in the league

Pretty much all of their star players other than Pettersson are overrated. Horvat and Boeser are not top 50 forwards, Quinn Hughes is nowhere near the same level as Cale Makar, and Thatcher Demko is not a Vezina caliber goalie.

Bahaha losers can't beat a basement team, as well as get shots in the opening period.

5 Chicago Blackhawks The Chicago Blackhawks are a professional ice hockey team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. They have won six Stanley Cup championships since their founding in 1926.

Besides '10, they haven't won the cup since '60.

To be honest the Blackhawks have been really bad the past 4 years

6 New York Islanders The New York Islanders are a professional ice hockey team based in the New York metropolitan area. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.
7 New York Rangers The New York Rangers are a professional ice hockey team based in New York City. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The team plays its home games at Madison Square Garden in the borough of Manhattan, an arena they share with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). They are one of three NHL teams... read more

One stanley cup in the last 72 seasons pretty much says it all.

8 Edmonton Oilers The Edmonton Oilers are a professional ice hockey team based in Edmonton, Alberta. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

McDavid is the best player in the league no doubt, but the team around him and Draisaitl is just awful. No depth whatsoever, horrible defensive core, and one of the worst goalie tandems in the league. Not to mention the awful contracts of Darnell Nurse, Zach Hyman and Mikko Koskinen. No way they're going to win a cup anytime soon.

I think they're just depressed that Gretzky's gone.

9 Calgary Flames The Calgary Flames are a professional ice hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Flames are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Best team in the league most supported and loudest arena I have ever been in!

10 Dallas Stars The Dallas Stars are a professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, Texas. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
The Contenders
11 St. Louis Blues The St. Louis Blues are a professional ice hockey team in St. Louis, Missouri. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
12 Nashville Predators The Nashville Predators are a professional ice hockey team based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Their Strategy is basically to just put bodies in front of the net and hope the puck bounces their way. If they don't do this they will get scored on 4+ times. However if the puck is within 10 feet of the neutral zone or in it they're everywhere.

13 Montreal Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens (French: Les Canadiens de Montréal) are a professional ice hockey team based in Montreal, Quebec. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

Carey Price is not a top 3 goalie. Cole Caufield is not the best prospect in the NHL. Enough said.

14 Boston Bruins The Boston Bruins are a professional ice hockey team based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Bruins compete in the National Hockey League as a member club of the league's Eastern Conference Atlantic Division.
15 Vegas Golden Knights The Vegas Golden Knights are a professional ice hockey team based in the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
