    seems most of the crosby haters are affiliated with either philadelphia or new york based teams ... probably more to do with him winning a cup recently more than anything. I hear the crosby haters on Detroit sports radio, pretty much the same reason the team he was on denied them a championship, except just about all on Detroit sports radio would welcome him to the wings with open arms :lol:, just as fans of any team would :lol:. Oh well what you gonna do ... he scored one of the biggest goals in our countries history, so maybe thats it he denied them olympic glory :lol::lol::lol:.

    for sure ... the kid is by far the best player in the nhl right now and he's not an asshole ... he didn't bail overseas during the lockout and guess what - he's still maturing ... as the best skilled player in the nhl - guys are gonna take cheapshots against him ... that's the way it is ... why do you think back in the gretzky days ... guys like semenko had jobs? ... it is widely understood that he's gonna get more hacks against him than most ...

    it's ironic how they want to call crosby a whiner but yet ...it's the same tired thing here from the haters ...

    if you the league redrafted - you'd be a fool not to pick him #1 ...

    As the image above shows he is clearly pulled down ... and taking away a clear scoring chance is one of my criteria's for an OT penalty, and that was a clear scoring chance.

    Canadian hockey fans :lol::lol:

    How you can say the league doesnt cater to him is absurd.

    c'mon dude ... i get it ... you're a flyer fan - you have to hate him ... i think you have a better case calling him schoolyard names than trying to legitimize it ...

    either way - all sports leagues protect their marquee players ... you telling me jordan didn't get extra calls in his day or gretzky or any superstar for that matter? ...

    feel free to trash the guy ... he's gonna win the ted lindsey award this year ... as the best player as voted by nhl players ... he's got the respect of the nhl players ...

    the replay (at about the 18 second mark) is absolutely hilarious.



    But that Boston piece was an amazing thing that was put together lol

    Great game last night WIngs!

    Edge of seat action... wow what a shot by Dats. Not a filpula fan(thought he should have been traded) but hes going in the trenches now. Bert 2nd game back impressive..seems like he gave the spark the team needed.
    Howard amazing.. Ericsson A++

    Still some sloppy playing by the D but overall a good game. Cant wait for Wednesday night!

    Go WIngs Go!

    Got to see the first official Kronwalling of the post season as well.

    Amazing shot by Pasha to tie it up.

    looking forward to tonight's Montreal/Ottawa game. Love the violence.

    As a neutral observer, who prefers Montreal, Ottawa is punking them out and exposing them as bitches.

    Agree with everything except I cannot stand Montreal. I want to see Subban get knocked out tonight.

    These Canadian announcers are so annoying. Was really looking forward to the game until I heard who was calling the game.

    come to think of it, most hockey announcers are horrible. Mike Emerick is also terrible.

    Fully agree. I'd like to see someone finally beat the crap outta that Subban weasel. He will talk and talk, avoids people who want to drop them with him, then he will go and pick on the guy who doesnt fight(ie, Turris the other night)

    The NHL will do the damnest to not allow any rough stuff/fighting tonight. Did you see how much the fans were into the last game? But the fans hate the fighting...right NHL?

    That's the truth. Fortunately Nabakov has been worse. This is not going the way I expected it to.

    Penguins keeping it classy until the end there. Love how Malkin won't drop his gloves when he is face to face with someone but will drop them in a scrum to cheap shot a guy when the ref is holding them down.
