Red4wings4life 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Crosby is the most overrated player in the NHL bar non. Do not get me wrong he is a good player and has alot of skill but he is not the next great one, he is not even the best player in the NHL. Malkin has proven that he is the number 1 star on the Pens. Staal is not far behind. Crosby is maybe 3rd on the team and maybe in the top 10 in the league. I am so sick of hearing about Crosby. What has he done in the SCF? If he was the best in the NHL he would have more to show in the finals, you know the biggest possible stage in hockey. Star players step up in big games and there are no bigger games in hockey then the SCF. Period. Crosby has not stepped up, he has not made a difference at all in the SCF. The title of this thread should be "No one wants this cup more for Crosby then Bettman" Look I am not one to blame the refs for a lose. I am the last person to do that in all honest and I do not believe the Wings lost because of the Refs last night BUT the refs were horrible last night. Down right bad. So many non calls all game that it was a joke, not a funny joke either. The call on Zett in the first period was just stupid, the hit on Rafaiski behind the net was down right criminal. He never touched the puck. Did anyone catch the first call on the Pens for that cross check, the only reason the Ref raised his arm to make the call was Pit had a scoring chance because of the cross check. I keep naming them but you all saw the game. Again the Wings lost because they decided to sleep though the first 2 periods not because of the Refs but come on, the refs have been bad all series and its a disgrace to the NHL and to all true hockey fans. Bettman is a disgrace to Hockey and all true hockey fans. Edited June 10, 2009 by Red4wings4life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motorcitykid 42 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Troll? Yes! But this thread is ******* hilarious. Crosby wants it more?? Hahahahahahaha. This nerdy, crybaby has been shut down by the best team in the world. Invisible ALL final. Staal (who is so misused by f***face Blysma) is making him look like a chump as well - scoring BIG goals at the right times. Yknow, things leaders and captains usually do! As we hoist the Cup this weekend, I will take as much happiness in THAT as I will knowing the Red Wings have shown the whole hockey world what a chump and disappearing act Crosby really is. He sucks as a person. He sucks as a captain. He sucks as a leader. And because of the Wings, those who are actually HOCKEY fans and not just supporters of one team now know he is also not the best player in the league. Face/future of the game?? I can't stop laughing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 How exactly do you quantify his greater amount of desire to win the Cup? EVERYONE has a huge desire to win the Cup, whether you've won it before or not. Sidney (which is how its spelled, some fan you are) has done exactly nothing this whole series, unless you count his tantrums as greater desire to win. I would consider Hossa's decision last summer as a pretty tangible desire to win the Cup, but he hasn't done a damn thing so far. Everyone wants the Cup, but right now, Crosby and Hossa are both providing nothing to their teams. Desire isn't tangible enough, effort is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUkrainian 49 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 If you think "Sydney" wants the cup more than anyone, Darren Helm and Chris Osgood would like to have a word with you. Hell I think Malkin and Fedotenko are playing like they want it more than Syd. I'll be sure to watch for him in this "spectacular" game 7 that he will be having...

Ms_Hockey 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Pretty sure every player who laces up their skates in the NHL wants the Cup. And I see nothing to tell me Crosby wants it more. Is he an excellent player? Of course he is. But he hasn't been the best on the ice, even for the Penguins.. which is why this thread confuses me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FedorovMan91 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Well, if then, the Pens will win the cup. The thing I do not understand is Hossa does not look good to win the cup. He came here to win the Cup, not getting knocked down all over the ice. Truth on the picture now, Hossa has to wake up and do something to win the Cup. He must have more time to win the cup in the future but for him, I highly doubt there would be any better chance to win the cup than now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingNutt 12 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 You have to realizethe drive of someone like Sydney Crosby. Throw the home ice out the window- the fact the Penguins have not won in Detroit yet just makes me more confident they will on Friday- law of averages fellas. And I have to tell you- life is sort of like the stock market- when conventional wisdom is so certain of a particular outcome you can almost bet the opposite is going to happen. I was listening to a talkshow the other day and Clark Gillies and some others were guests essentially saying Detroit was a lock to win it. LOL, this is the plot twist I was telling you about. It's just not in the cards for Detroit this year- a 1 game season to win the Cup!! Are you kidding me!? So much for Pens not being able to win with Dats in the lineup. Bottom line- Crosby wants this thing more than Zetterberg or anyone on Detroit. Sid is coming to Detroit and he's bringing hell with him!! Troll Away, haha Yeah Crosby sure wants it bad he is showing it with all his points and level headed play. Forget the teams watch Darren Helm play then Crosby and tell me what guy wants the cup more?

Hossa's Heroes 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 and no one deserves it less than Crosby. What kind of a Captain goes around slashing opponents because his team is down? What kind of Captain doesn't lead by example, start the rush, and score when his team needs it most? What kind of Captain allows himself to be shut down by his opponents in every Cup Final game? Captain Crybaby... He doesn't deserve s***. He hasn't proved anything, except that he's a marketing Tool. And that's "Tool" with a capital T. If the Pens win, it won't be because Crosby wanted it more. It will because the rest of his team bailed their captain out and the Wings did not show up to play. If the Pens win, the NHL and its fans have lost, because it will only go to show that individual pubescents with a modicum of talent are handed things they don't deserve over a group of skilled individuals. Kind of sounds like the celebrity culture in this country. Which is a shame. But that ain't gonna happen Friday. Wings will win and balance will be restored. Suck on that BewarethePenguins!

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I will appreciate Crosby's play this series mush more if we find out afterwards that he's been playing with an injury. But generally, apart from a sporting goods manufacturer, sport drink, or coffee shop commercial or seven, he hasn't really shown anything to me that he "wants it" any more than any other player on the ice. It might be Z's checking, but quite frankly, I've wondered the past couple of games if he hasn't been playing through an injury that's affected his mobility.

QFT If Cosby wanted to win so bad and he is so wonderful why has he been held pointless in 4 out of 6 games, pointless in every road game in the finals, has one goal in the finals (which by the way is 1 less than Abdelkader who has played half as many games and was brought up from the AHL), has only 3 points the entire series (one more than Dats who has only played 2 games and Z, who has shut Crosby down has doubled Crosy's point production with 6), Crosby is a -3 for the series and only had one + game, and even the commentators are saying he has taken himself out of any consideration for the Conn Smythe trophy. It is pathetic that you are dumb enough to think no one wants it more than Crosby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
