VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Yzerman and others were passionate when young, but to my knowledge they never whined. And, as fellow NHL players voted, Crosby is the biggest whiner in the league. And people don't want to follow a whiner who gets rattled so easily. Toews never bitched and moaned like Crosby.

At this point yes, Pittsburgh's proven their ability, but when Crosby got drafted and Bettman decided to make him the posterboy immediately, no they hadn't, which was the point I was making.

Glubki 17 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Yzerman was a class act all the way -and I don't mean to ruin anyone's image of the man because everything he earned in his career was well deserved. BUT, he spent as much time arguing every call in the 80's thru the mid 90's as any other player including Gretzky! That was just how it used to be... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thedisappearer 291 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 As if we wouldn't want Crosby on the Wings in a minute... Honestly, with his cap hit and lack of defensive ability... pass. But, as a $5 mil cap hit, for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 As if we wouldn't want Crosby on the Wings in a minute... Sorry? Why would we want Crosby? On the Wings he'd be a third liner (if we don't consider his salary). I'd rather have Datsyuk and Zetterberg centering lines than Crosby. Not to mention I can only think he's a drain on his team with the constant embarassments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toews or Kane should be the poster boys of the league, TBH. Both are amazing players and both are great kids. Toews is by far one of my favorite players in the league (other than the chops, I hope he got rid of those ASAP after they were done); I would much rather see a Toews highlight reel instead of a Crosby one.

RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 His post game presser was an improvement from last years. Wings held him off the board - that's all that matters. He could show a little more sportsmanship, but really he's still learning, no need to cling on every little thing he says.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cern 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 At least Crosby has the decency to stick around for post-series handshakes. Apparently Lebron James stormed back to the bus the moment he lost tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think he "stormed back to the bus". That's not how ESPN is describing it. I think he was really depressed that his team lost; I don't think he thought it was possible that the Cavs would lose anywhere but in the finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TCbrizz 2 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Dammit does this really deserve its own thread? Why can't we focus on tomorrow's game? uhm...because we aren't playing in it? what does that even mean? of course we're going to talk about tonight's game....tonight. Crosby is supposed to be the NHLs new superstar posterboy...yet he acts like a petulant child and is the sorest loser i've ever seen in professional sports. Last year he refused to give Zetterberg an ounce of credit...and this year he continues to prove he is the most immature twit in the game. Mario's fellating of him on NHLN prior to the game (they showed a clip ast he second period started) was nauseating in this respect. I wonder how much bettman pays him to say that crap. That's really the saddest part of this whole deal imo....I've always LOVED Mario Lemieux for being such an incredible, unstoppable force on the ice, and coming back from cancer the way he did. all of that becomes more and more tarnished with every crybaby tantrum from Crosby.

TCbrizz 2 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 "I just felt it I should wack him with my stick" The video is a shaky but just listen.. he said before that: "maltby was just doing what he always does...running his mouth" Seriously...he lashes out after the game because Malts gave him a little trash talk. And then acts like he was terribly wronged in the whole ordeal. he's a big ******* baby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
