    Don't forget to call him "Cyndy" as well

    Such a pussy


    Sid is no more of a wuss than Briere, Gagne, or any other "skill" player in the league. While I was disappointed that he didn't beat the shit out of Biron after he slashed him early, at least he made some contact later on even though Biron took a dive.

    And whether the league is pinning their hopes on him or not, he's still gonna be in the top three (probably first) in scoring every year and the Pens should be competitive for the foreseeable future. I know a Flyer or Ranger fan will never admit it, but he does truly do things that haven't been done in years, so I don't understand all the hate beyond the jersey he's wearing.

    Well, I guess there's the whole jealousy thing, but I won't get into that.

    I'll tune in somewhere in the second to see how bad it is, then go back to video games.

    It's not his skill I have a problem with, he's probably the best player in the league

    I repsect his skills, it's the constant whining and crying away from the play or after the play is over

    The Rivalry is heating up !

    Flyers Respond to Penguins Coach
    Kevin Kurz philadelphiaflyers.com Dec 12, 2007, 2:25 PM EST

    Stevens, players disagree with ‘lack of respect’ assessment from Therrien

    (Voorhees, NJ) – As heated as the game between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh was on the ice Tuesday night, the animosity continued in the postgame press conferences immediately following the 8-2 win by the Flyers.

    John Stevens was not happy with the way the Penguins conducted themselves with the game already decided, while Pittsburgh coach Michel Therrien accused Stevens of showing a lack of respect towards his club by running up the score with his top power play unit on the ice late in the blowout victory.

    Therrien got a chance to respond to Stevens’ comments on Tuesday night. Stevens had to wait for his turn until Wednesday afternoon after the Flyers’ practice at the Virtua Center Flyers Skate Zone.

    The Flyers and Penguins combined for 126 penalty minutes in the 8-2 Philadelphia win on Tuesday night.

    Needless to say, he disagreed with his counterpart’s assessment of the situation, and reiterated that he thinks the Penguins were trying to hurt his players.

    “[Sami Kapanen] got elbowed in the head. [Mike] Richards got elbowed in the head by [Colby] Armstrong. The puck was long gone and [Georges] Laraque breaks his stick over I think it was [Lasse] Kukkonen. [Sidney] Crosby runs into Marty [Biron] and so does Laraque. When teams are going to just take liberties on you, if you don’t try to score, are you [telling them] to just keep taking liberties? That’s the way I look at it.

    “I have a lot of respect for the Pittsburgh Penguins and their players, but I don’t have respect for what [they were doing]. If you’re going to go out there and take those kinds of penalties against us, why wouldn’t we try to score?”

    Therrien said that he thought Stevens sending the Flyers’ best power play unit out in a 7-2 game, which included Danny Briere, was unnecessary. He added, “Even Briere did not want to go onto the ice.”

    Briere got a good chuckle out of Therrien’s mind-reading abilities on Wednesday afternoon.

    “How would he know?” rhetorically replied Briere. “What do you expect us to do? They’re breaking sticks over our players, and we’re supposed to just tell them, [that’s] ok?”

    “I would be disrespecting my team if we didn’t put those guys out there,” added Stevens.

    The players in the Flyers’ locker room also have no apologies for scoring eight times, including four goals in the last 21 minutes of play. After all, the Penguins recorded 8-2 and 8-4 wins last season en route to winning all eight games of the season series.

    “It’s the NHL. It’s the best players in the world, and you don’t have to lay off anyone,” said Mike Knuble, who tallied on the power play late in the second period. “We want to show other people that when we get teams down we want to stay on top of them and not give them a chance to get back in it or show any mercy. It’s a good message to send not only in that game, but to the rest of the people watching.”

    “When you get a power play, what are you supposed to do, just pass the puck around your own end? This is two professional hockey teams going against one another,” said Biron, who picked up his 13th victory of the season. “If you have a chance to score, you’re going to score.”

    With the fireworks on and off the ice, the remaining five games against Pittsburgh this season now have an added dramatic element. The teams meet again on January 24 at the Wachovia Center.

    “They’re going to be spirited games from here on out,” said Knuble.

    Wait, Colby Armstrong elbowed someone in the head?
    No, not Colby Armstrong! Gasp!

    Hmm, he doesn't play for Philly...

    umberger should have had the 3rd star. biron should have been called for a dive penalty, that was pathetic, he was barely touched. crosby doesn't fight because he doesn't have to. philly has played much dirtier even longer, you guys have no room to talk. the organization from the top down is nothing but thugs. i'm surprised briere decided to sign there, i thought he was classier than that. mark my words, sid will light you guys up next game. you guys get a dose of your own medicine and throw a fit. they should rename the team the philadelphia cryers.

    Why would you even want to fight Crosby? It makes you look like a bloody tool.
    I'm no Sid fan, in the least, but c'mon....
    That's like Chara forcing a fight on Kostitsyn....or Latendresse(pure class, nice elbow zeddy!)...or Lecavalier!

    Classy!

    true but the pens were taking liberties in the 3rd period.

    as for fighting Crysby, if you are going to use your stick against players then you should be held accountable for it. I'm not saying throw your tough guy out there to fight Crysby but maybe someone like Richards or Umberger or Upshall.

    No one should be sent out to fight Crosby.
    He shouldn't be getting a pass for cheap shots either.
