NHL Staff Writer: "Is [Crosby] Perfect?"

[reggiedunlop 0]

Doubtful, considering the east is nowhere near the level of the west. The only team the Pens would have beat from the west playoffs was columbus. Even the first round ousted Sharks would have walked all over the Pens.

Oh and we don't need Hossa to win the cup, but we all know this is still a really sore spot for you so i forgive your modest attempt at trash talk in a effort to soothe that gaping wound.

pens 10-8 against the west.... just sayin

im guessing stick envy.

as a pens fan, i would rather sid be known for hoisting the cup a few times, but the fact is he IS marketable and has also CLEARLY earned some of his accolades (see stats).

I guess having him force fed to you all the time would get old (if he isnt on your team), much the way i AM SICK of hearing about tom brady and the Patriots ha ha.

having said that......... i have never seen fans from other cities spend more time obsessing over one person.

It's hard to understand why people are so jealous of a person who's earned the spotlight and obviously wants it/relishes in it. I've never seen fans of another team in any sport I've watched downplay how talented a player is, this badly, simply out of envy.

Crosby isn't perfect, the writer of that article says he isn't perfect, his coach says he isn't perfect. what he is, is an amazing hockey player, perhaps the best in the world. I can't find anything in that article that would bother you. What specifically do you disagree with (other than the over-promotion of Crosby)?

When he's on Crosby's team, Hossa scores in the playoffs <stirs pot>

When teamed with Crosby, Hossa averaged less points per game than any time in the rest of his career.

Good to see the Penguin trolls back. (sarcasm).

I don't really understand the point in defending Crosby against complaints. I mean, what's the argument? "No, you're wrong! You DO like him!"?

I dunno. People can say the Crosby bashing is baseless and inane. But I think the very fact that there's so much negativity directed towards this guy means something and isn't just down to people being bitchy. Sure, you can pick apart an anti-Crosby tirade here and there, but I think that's missing the forest for the trees.

Yeah, Crosby just rubs me the wrong way... and he apparently rubs a lot of fan and players the wrong way, so I do not think I am crazy.

It's simply enjoyable to make fun of the NHL's golden boy, especially after the whole All-Star Game fiasco, which really pissed me off.

No amount of Crosby Apologetics is going to make me start liking him, sorry.

I think he has perfect lips for

Honestly... I thought Detroit fans loved hockey? What has Crosby done to "rub you the wrong way"? What i will never understand is how a guy gets cross checked in the head and he ******* at the ref for not calling it? And he is a "cry baby"???? Damn Crosby...quit being a bit**...you guys are a joke(along with most other ignorant bandwagon fans)... are you kidding me? Realistically...everytime he touches the puck the only way you can get it from him is by hacking him. Like it or lump it...facts are facts. Also...he wears the C on his jersey...i'm almost positive his job is to talk to the refs about issues the team is having. You guys are honestly idiots. Another thing... Crosby hasn't complained about ANYTHING the entire playoff series. Not even once. Ovechkin,semin, the rest of the craps, the flyers, all they did was DIVE, CRY, WHINE, and COMPLAIN about calls that weren't made??? You guys need to start paying attention. Also...calling Penguins fans trolls doesnt bother us...at the end of the day we will be the ones hoisting the cup. You guys honestly better look out for what Crosby and Malkin are gunna do to you in the CUP.

Also...if we win the Cup this year it will just be a great surprise...because everyone in the NHL and real fans know the Cup will be in Pittsburgh for the next 4-5 years. Good luck beating us...we don't care if you bash us baby. It's all about winning. And winning is in Crosby's Blood. We will not denied.

I can't wait to hear why you idiots dont like Crosby some more...i never see actual facts...just stupid a** opinions from you bandwagoners. It's a joke. You're a joke.

While I agree with you that Crosby disdain is over the top in here sometimes (though I get why it exists), you nee to lay off the coffee.
