His charging in the original video doesn't surprise me cause he does it all the damn time. I don't like the skates getting up as he goes over the boards. That's just dangerous boooools***! f*** TooToo!! esteef

Agree 100%. I'm too drunk to explain why.... esteef

f*** CROSBY!!!! :battle: x 500!!! f*** BETTMAN!!!!! x 800!!! :beerbuddy: esteef

It's only natural to take shots right, left and center at the league-annointed chosen one. This thread is just proof of the argument against him being Mr. Awesome Captain like the league would have you believe. And it IS a big deal BECAUSE it's Crosby! Tootoo or Hartnell doing this is status quo. Those of you who can't stomach criticism of the Golden Boy then don't read the damn thread. esteef

SEE?!!! OMG WE NEED AN ENFORCER!!!! esteef

Sidney Crosby should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. esteef

Trainer/Face-off tracker giving Huds the towel facewash on the bench! Atta Boy Huds! Slam Dunk! esteef

There's a helluva lot more hate for Crosby than on this message board, believe me. Sid's under extra scrutiny for being the Golden Boy, I get that. But if you're gonna hold the title you've gotta do it right. Man up or it just adds to the "*****" nametag. esteef

Agree, it's tough to see at full speed, but it looks like they get a second opinion from Toronto on the phone. War Room = esteef

Delicious! esteef

I wonder if they consider them bad luck now because of this! esteef

Amen, but all the media types will just spin it as the botched calls create controversy and get people discussing the sport. It sucks, especially when they have replay and STILL f*** it up! BTW, my baseball pet peeve is THEY HARDLY EVER TOUCH THE SECOND BASE BAG ON A DOUBLE PLAY! Boooools***! I feel better. esteef

Barry Melrose would've successfully argued that call. f*** You Tampa! I love how the audio picked up the fan at about 3:00 into it repeating "Bull-s***! Bull-s*** Bull-s***!" :colorbounce: esteef

Bump! Kopecky had some jump tonight! (must be reading these boards! ) esteef!

I love Bettman! :beerbuddy: esteef

So next time Avery should feel free to say whatever he wants in the dressing room, just don't acknowledge the reporter and he's all good. esteef

So, it's OK as long as fans hear it on the ice? Either way it's still "heard" right? (Honest question.) I agree, it's part of the game and it doesn't bother me at all, but slamming Avery in this case begs the question above. esteef

Cause it would turn into a popularity contest, just like our recent presidential elections.

Quincey just smoked some guy admiring his pass in the Kings/Rangers game! Just sayin'... :beerbuddy: esteef

Better not let Bettman hear you talking like that! I think the original comment "meant" to say guys worry LESS about guys running them with a fighter in the lineup. Does that work better? esteef

How do you know this? It's just your opinion that he's not the reason. Right? BTW, it's not lost on me that the linked article was just the writer's opinion, but that doesn't make it false does it? esteef

You're not helping!

OK Mr. Absolute. Yes, technically players still get run with fighters/enforcers on the team. Problem is, no one contested that. It's a stupid all-or-nothing comment to try and score some cheap points in this thread. Anyone with a f***in' head on their shoulders realizes the number of cheap s*** against your team goes down with an enforcer in tow. But please continue with your "Nuh-uh! It still happens!" crap, dancing all around the point being made without acknowledging it. esteef

So, how are the Sharks doing this year with Shelley in the lineup? Btw, the Sharks also have Clowe, Grier, and Murray to name a few other fighting players. But yes, they are scrambling to imitate the Wings. esteef

For the ONE-MILLIONTh TIME! No one says fighters/enforcers COMPLETELY STOP all cheap shots from happening. They DO deter more of that s*** from happening from lesser douchebag players. The point of having them is for response, team morale, momentum, etc. Just ask ANY GM, coach or player. esteef
