The two most under rated players in the NHL

1. Daymond Langkow - 21 goals, 31 assists in 81 games. For the fucking Phoenix Coyotes. Sean Doan had 27 41 68 points with the same Phoenix team. Is it a coincidence that Doan became an "allstar" after Langkow became his center?

Will Nedved do the same. Fuck no. Langkow is the same player drafted 5th overall by TB but had to play with a 40 year old John Cullen at 18 years old. Iginla was drafted 7 spots later. Let's not forget that fateful year of Lindros getting corked by Stevens. That was Lindros' 2nd game that year. The center that took Philly that far was Daymond Langkow.

Anyone remember the Massachuteses World Junior Championships? Jarome Iginla and Daymond Langkow were on the same line. They combined to elevate Canada to gold. With Langkow being the star on that line.

Now they're reunited. Watch the fuck out. Langkow for Saprykin... what a rip off. Langkow will get at least 70 points this year on a line with Iginla.

2 - Alexandre Daigle

Yeah, he was the 1st overall pick. Yeah, he was the next one. Yeah, he quit for 2 years.

But what 18 year old kid can step into the league, score 20 goals, 31 assists and 51 points on an expansion team where your representative to the all star game was Brad Marsh?

Apparently that wasn't good enough, if Daigle never got 50 goals, and 50 assists he was a bust that year. On AN EXPANSION TEAM. God help Crosby on the Penguins playing with Mario, Recchi, Leclair, Gonchar, Palffy...etc. The best Daigle had was Brad fucking Marsh.

He outscored Yashin as a rookie, he played as well as anyone could really imagine for an 18 year old on the shittiest team the NHL has ever seen. No wonder he quit. And was relegated to 3rd and 4 th line duties thereafter.

But he came back and led... I repeat... LED the Minnesota Wild in scoring his first year back, and his first chance to play again. Gaborik? No.... Alexandre Daigle.

20 goals, 51 points on the most defensive team in the league. Plus he fucked Pam Anderson. Diagle is owed his due.

He's not a bust, he's been given a shitty hand.
