I honestly think Edina is an underrated team, even though that sounds crazy. They could beat some division 3 college teams with the talent they have. It seems to me that they have so much depth that if one of the top players has a REALLY bad game there's enough other top players to make up for poor performance. I also want to mention Minnetonka as slightly underrated, their defenseman will excel this year.
I think Eastview could turn some heads...They beat EP, and have some real talent on their first line. No one really talks about HM either. They have a lot of talent defensively and offensively and have good size.
Edina isn't underrated after reading about Friday night, they are still really good but they won't walk over everyone. No one is underrated anymore..J/K
Anoka is not underrated. They would be if their top guys had better attitudes. They need to work hard all the time not just when they feel like it. But after a 6-2 schellaking this weekend I would say they have a little work to do. I think Minnetonka is underrated with their solid defense. It will be fun to see how they do as the season progresses.
What is the criteria for under-rated? If Edina is under-rated does that mean they should be number 1? I am kind of confused. A team goes out the first week and plays exceptionally well and all of a sudden they are under-rated. I would guess if the team was not a top 20 and then beat say, three top 20 teams and they were not expected to be worth anything, then you could call them under-rated.
The same goes for a team that is over-rated, they go out and lose a game or two and they are over-rated. Not sure. Besides who cares where they are ranked. Bragging rights is all they are good for.
