They were protecting that soft Euro that slew footed the most complete player in the league. Not to mention Zidlicky wasn't wearing a fight strap and was put into a vulnerable posistion by Crosby because of it. And if you think Crosby lost that fight then you have a lot bigger issues then your completely skewed views on Crosby. By no means is Crosby a good fighter, but he did win that fight.

Nailed it here. I don't like Crosby all that much, but I would be foolish to try and claim he was anywhere close to losing this fight. I only wish the refs let it go longer so Zidlicky could get punished some more for serving up one of the games ugliest, and most cowardly plays - the slew foot.

I enjoyed watching a north american boy take a slew footing euro to the woodshed - even if that player was Crosby.

Crosby looked pretty damn immature out there. He didn't fight because he wanted to, or because he had to. He fought out of pure frustration because he couldn't control his emotions. Also, the push to Zidlickys back at the beginning was completely uncalled for. And if anyone noticed Zidlicky did not even have his gloves off until Crosby started punching, he got them off just in time fo hold on to Cindys jersey.

ok so if he fights he's a wuss and if he doesn't he's a wuss and if he makes contact with the guy during the fight it's completely uncalled for... lol

Not to mention the poster is complaining about Crosby being a cheap fighter, yet has Bob Probert in the sig. Now I love Probbie, but he certainly wasn't a church boy when it came to fights/hockey...

LOL. From the angle I saw it looked like Crosby fought because he wanted to, not because he lost control of his emotions. He squared up with his opponent, they yapped at eachother (as opposed to Crosby loosing his cool and just jumping him) and the fight started organicly by what appeared to be a mutual understanding.

Crosby didn't lose control of himself and do do something childish like throwing a chair on the ice or beating up a girl (Kocur), he doesn't so lack control over his impulses that he gambles and drinks of his money away and blindsides lesser fghters (McCarty), he doesn't run goalies, smuggle coke in his underwear, pull hair or headbut (Probert). He seems like a pretty okay guy in this instance.

Whatever you guys say, I just hate the kid.

Funny how quick you two are to both defend and distract... Not to mention your exaggerations upon what the poster before you said make you both(?) sound like liars.

Rewatch the vid... That hit behind the net, was not a "hey ya wanna fight"... it was "you suck, I hate you". He snapped, like always. I'm not saying this is bad, but it seems to be the trend with him. He doesn't fight unless he gets incredibly frustrated with someone and then looks like a pansy cause he's all flustered.

[LeftWinger]

lol! I wonder if Cathy Lee got the extra 2 for slashing him? Doubt it! He did get the instigator though, which was later recinded by Buttman and his cronies...

[Broken 16]

Holy crap! Four pages because Crosby defended himself? LMAO... only on LGW.

Now we're comparing Cathy Lee to Bob Probert? I think I just threw up in my mouth..... yech, yep, I did...

I do believe Datsyuk has "fought" just as many times as Cathy has, yet who was niminated for BOTH the Hart and Selke? Ya,m I think THAT would make someone the most complete player in the league...

Kudos to Cathy Lee for standing up for herself, but, sir, I know Bob Probert, I've met Bob Probert, Bob Probert isn't a friend of mine, but Cathy Lee STILL is no (comparison to) Bob Probert...

You sir, should be tarred and feathered for even making mention of those two in the smae sentence!

[mjlegend]

Do you think Crosby fights back if it's, say, Komisarek or Beauchemin slew-footing him? Doubt it. He quickly knew he was taking on someone he could handle.

Pretty typical LGW stuff. I dont mind any of those guys, but going out of their way to defend Cindy in a Wings forum is strange...

[red_wing]

Crosby's such a girl. He pulled Zidlicky's jersey over his head so the ref would stop the fight. Wow.

It's funny seeing all these jealous "fans" bash one of the best hockey players in the game over a normal hockey event. The hypocrisy in most of the posters in this thread is astonishing.

[Statts]

I dont think Zidlicky or Crosby would be able to break a piece styrofoam with those weak ass punches they were throwing.

And you just love getting them all worked up.
