Crosby on Zetterberg

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Didn't Crosby also state Lidstrom was the best player in the NHL practically when he gave his name to answer the question, "which player is the hardest to play against?"

People are trying far to hard to create smack talk.

I really don't think Crosby meant it as big of an insult as you're taking it. If anything, that's a huge compliment on Zetterberg's behalf. He's basically saying he's a very dangerous two way player and definitely someone Crosby needs to watch out for.

It's kind of hard to argue against The Perfect Human being the best player in hockey (at the very least positionally) when he's got 6 of the last 7 Norris Trophies sitting at home. Potentially 7 of the last 8.

Anyone who doesn't give Nick credit at this point just looks stupid to anyone who knows anything about hockey.

But yeah, I agree. Crosby was giving Zata a lot of credit when he said that.

Sorry, I misinterpreted the quote.

I didn't get that he was saying Z was better then what he usually faces, I thought the not so good offensively part was in reference to Zetterberg.

If the comment was a compliment I take what I said back, I just misinterpreted the quote.

Don't get on the OP too much. I think he just misinterpreted it. If you read it fast, it does sound like Crosby is bagging on Z, but when you read it again, it definitely is Crosby giving Z alot of props.

Thanks. Especially since MLive didn't put that first part of the quote that another poster put from NHL.com

I got the selective editing from MLive.com which made it seem like the offensive ability was in reference to Z not the otherway around.

If I had interpreted it correctly I wouldn't have posted it. Just got the wrong impression.

Sorry...Don't crucify me for it though, especially since if you are a consistent LGW poster you know I typically do not throw out completely bias statements.
