titanium2 867 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 NO NO NO! My God are we really that desperate to criticize? He was still celebrating with the coaches and trainers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 No, he was there, just closer to the end of the handshake line. NBC had a shot of Babs shaking his hand in the line. Overheard Babs say "Great leadership there" or something to that effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Crosby missed most of the handshaking while he was celebrating off in another section of the ice with teammates and coaching staff. He made it at the end for the Wings coaching staff. Think of it what you may, but personally I'm feeling too much like crap over the loss to bother even giving a s*** about trivial stuff like this.

PenaltyShot 96 521 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 I shut off the TV after the final horn, but considering how hard LeBron James was ragged on for refusing to shake hands after his loss, I hope Crosby gets the same amount if not more for refusing to shake hands after a win. Celebrate with your team on the flight home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C20lw 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 My buddy was at the game and sent me a few messages about it. He said while he was taking pictures of the shaking hands and the celebrating; Crosby didn't go near the Wings until the end of the line to meet Ozzie and Babcock. Him and myself do believe this is an action lacking respect for the Wings. Yes it is a time of celebration, but it was quite unsportsman like to not shake hands like everyone else was. Blame it on immaturity of a young athlete or blame it on Crosby still being a *****. Congrats Pengs it was a long hard battle, but IMHO Crosby bitched out.

The Secret 304 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 Nothing like a Crosby hating thread to take away from our deficiencies thaty cost us the Cup. I couldn't care less if Crosby grabbed the Cup and left the building and without even looking at the Wings to be honest... who cares. The youngest Captain in history got carried away in the moment of winning the Cup and missed some hand shakes, who ******* cares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datsyukismyfriend 4 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 i can't stand crosby. not only did he not shake hands with the team, he snubbed babs at the end. babs paid crosby some big compliments and crosby never looked at him, just kind of nodded his head, and skated off. he's a prick through and through. i can't believe he's celebrating with the cup right now.

So its fine if we won the cup for lidstrom to just sit with the coaches and not show class? Dont think so buddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HanKarin40 7 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) I think Crosby just got wrapped up in the moment. At least that's what I hope. Otherwise, that's just poor sportsmanship, win or lose. I thought it was worse that Good Ole Gary didn't congratulate or acknowledge Detroit on their season. For the commissioner of this league to so conveniently "forget" to do so is just bulls***! Thanks for the slap in the face. Edited June 13, 2009 by HanKarin40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What difference does it make? Why does it bother you so much that you need to start this? Would it have made you feel better if he shook every single hand and looked everyone in the eye and told them he loves them? Get off it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zion 93 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 No one gives a f***. It wasn't personal. Fleury showed up. The Wings did not. Pittsburgh won 4 out of 5 games after going down 2-0. They deserved to win. Detroit needs some roster changes, that's all. Great series. Great season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut22 81 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 With so many people on here being upset a few years ago when Chelios skipped out on the handshakes, I find it odd that so many of you "dont give a f***." In the long run does it matter? no. but its what you do. You should shake hands with the whole team. I dunno. part of me cares part of me doesnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
