Snazzy 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 so many haters... no wonder this kid gets "shot" in every arena the face of the NHL. I blame Bettman! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 How ironic it should be Maltby tapping him. We all have to admit Maltby is our own biggest diver, right? Yes Maltby is a great diver. Sid should take some lessons from him. However, I expect 4th line guys to try to take some dives and draw some penalties - Malts is good at that. Having your star players dive like that is embarrassing. I hope Hank never does that. Forsberg was a pro at it - maybe Sid is watching some Floppa videos....

SliderJeff 11 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 psh the dive in the first was worse than that for christ sake... it was behind the net, right after the penalty on kroner for the malkin trip... cant recall who but it looked just like the day jager killer avery. find that video and commence bitching... Kunitz is the name you are looking for. Epic acting job. No question on the high stick call, but Jesus... I thought someone tied a rope to his visor and tried to yank his head off based on the reaction... 2 seconds after the actual infraction, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SliderJeff 11 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) LOL even the pens fans have to admit this was an epic dive. he looked like he got his spine ripped out and his weiner cut off simultaneously. How the heck did someone get to his weiner? Isn't it thoroughly protected by being firmly implanted in the VS. and NBC announcer's mouths at all times?

ClearlyCleary 1 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Crosby is a great player, but his dives are gettin out of control. I am embarrassed as a hockey fan when the face of the NHL is performing EPIC dives in the Stanley Cup Finals. That was absolutly ridiculous. Maltby barely touched him and he flew forward like he got stabbed in the back. I can respect him for his amazing skill, but I can't respect him when he pulls antics like that. You would never see an Yzerman, Messier, or a Sakic do something like that. BTW, does anybody have a video clip of it? Yeah, I got the video right here! Crosby is on the left when you first open it http://tinyurl.com/qnoghz I hope they put up the big screen in Pittsburgh for Game 6 and then it doesn't work.

If your teams power play was Destroying the other team, Would you not also dive all over? Dont get me wrong here, i loath Crosby, i feel he is over rated, immature, and will Never reach his potential because of his lack of character, but.... If the wings power play was hot, i would be screaming, FALL DATS FALL, or if a high stick was called, MAKE IT BLEED HOMER MAKE IT BLEED. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUkrainian 49 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 The Wing's players should just keep a packet of ketchup in their mouth the entire game and if they ever get nicked by a stick, just bite it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
