    In hockey, there are only two players. Wayne Gretzky and everyone else.
    Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 25

    I never watched hockey when gretzky played....wish I had...they just showed crosby's 58 multi point playoff games....to gretzky's 108...probably in shorter series.

    and at 6'0"", 185 lbs? :tired_face:
    To be fair, it was a different game then, offensively.
    That stated, he was called The Great One for a reason.  He was always finding ways to make plays.  Had some amazing players around him as well...and some strong protection.  Loved Gretz.
    he has over 1000 points more compared to the guy who is 2nd all time. and the guy who is 2nd all time was a contemporary of his which makes Wayne's numbers even more outrageous.  One could make the argument that Wayne was the most dominant athlete of all time.  his numbers compared to others are insane when you look at them.

    and crosby is still a little bitch.  
    I'm a Kings fan, obviously I worship at the altar of Gretzky and I saw him play so many times in person that I truly can appreciate that and what I saw him do on TV when he was in Edmonton. 

    Agree on Crysby
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Agreed with all of that. But I'd add Mike Milbury to that last sentence too
    Milbury comes across as a miserable human being. His face always looks like he is in a bad mood.  I can't stand listening to him which is a shame because the rest of the folks on NBCSN are really good in my opinion.

    Milbury's a prick.  Of course he would applaud Crosby's dirty play.  Fucker throws shoes at fans and grabs kids by the sweater & yells "fuck" in their faces.

    lol

    I'd love it if PENSBC would remove him from the next 2 games(that's right, the Preds are winning game 6), but they won't. There's plenty of other guys there that do a better job than Milbury that deserve to be up there. It's gonna be interesting to see what kind of stuff, if anything, is said to him during the game on Sunday.

    Milbury is awful.

    NBC/Comcast think he is 'good' awful where he stirs up controversy and people tune into what he says next, kind of like the US version of Don Cherry, but that isn't true.  He is just bad.  A bad broadcaster, what he says often doesnt have basis in reality, and it seems like he just shoots from the hip and provides very little insight or preparation.  It is all extremely predictable and not entertaining or interesting.  I dont even pay attention when he is talking or what he says (I watch a miniscule amount of their studio coverage now as it is).

    NBC in general sucks at covering the NHL... but they have finally shown improvement.  Their playoff coverage this year is the best they have done in their 10+ years at the helm.

    I will gladly accept any criticisms of bias, but let's not forget about soixante-six Mario Lemieux, who put up some badass stats while battling serious injuries seemingly constantly (like cancer and rare bone diseases).  For example, It took Crosby 24 Stanley Cup Final games to put up 20 points, while 66 put up 19 in nine...once after coming back from a broken hand (fucking Adam Graves).  I'm not trying to say 99 is shit, or necessarily that Lemieux is better, would just have been interesting to see them up against each other perpetually at full health.  I'll take Gretzky's quote about Lemieux with a grain of salt, because no ambassador of the game is going to downplay another legend (he is the Great One, of course), and of course he is only saying something about who he played against, but he said, “Mario and I would have battled against each other. We had so much respect for each other. I’ve said this a million times, that he was the best played I ever played against. That fires you up as athletes. You want to compete against the best."

    And come on, admit it: based purely on skill, Crosby is awesome.

    The pregame/postgame shows in all sports are terrible.  I generally tune in for games right at the start time so I could avoid as much of that nonsense as possible.  I really don't get how people sit there listening to these talking heads blabber on and on about nothing trying to create stories.

    Wondering if they need to change the standard from "ref loses sight of the puck" to "ref actually sees the goalie smother the puck."

    Nashville has a terrible name.  Who wants to be called a "predator" in 2017?

    Fuck the Pens, but more than that, fuck the on and off-ice officials, who played a much larger role in determining this series than should ever happen. Pittsburgh owes tonight's ref a big cheque.

    The fix is in.
    Disgusting.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Crosby putting an exclamation point on being the best player in hockey today.

    And fuck you Bettman.

    Crosby won the MVP? 

    What about Malkin? Guentzel? or Murray?

    Way to go Penguins! Unbelievable!  Still can't believe Crosby came back from the dirty Niskanen crosscheck to the face and played through what must have been a concussion.  Anyone who thinks Crosby should not have won the conn smythe were either not watching or not paying attention.  He is the heart and soul of the team.   And the ref arguers must realize that the refs were trying to even it up penalty wise the rest of the game, culminating in the 5 on 3 chance for next to nothing.  Once again, way to go Pens, you have made my 4 time stanley cup champions shirt obsolete rather quickly but i can live with that!
