I gotta laugh at Carman accusing us of being jealous of Crosby and the Pens in the Penguins bashing thread. Give me the Zetterberg and the Wings over that cry baby any day!
Well as much as you people talk about Crosby it seems pretty evident...
Thank you Gordie, maybe people will actually listen to you...
I doubt it though, their jealousy is blinding them.
30/30 teams would have picked Crosby and Malkin in the positions they were taken. That's all that I'm saying. It's not because of their amazing scouting that either of the two worked out.
...I don't think that they purposely drafted worse players so that they could stay within the salary cap.
What's so hard to understand that they Penguins are more than a two player team?
You act like the Red Wings got beat by two players or something.
Yeah but just saying it was all a gift etc. is just a terrible excuse.
Top 3 picks aren't gimmes. Alexander Daigle etc.
They've had to deal with a salary cap.
Not too mention Pittsburgh's depth 3rd-4th liners have been some of the best in the league, with very underrated D men (Letang mainly). They are a well built team whether you want to admit it or not.
Sorry I usually haven't had issues with my Penguin love until the past two years unfortunately. It's not likely that we'd be rivals with an Eastern Conference team...
Sure, because regular season games mean a whole lot when Crosby already lead his team to pretty much clinching a playoff spot when Zetterberg/Datsyuk lead their team to barely maintain an 8th seed.
I am really glad that Pens fans don't chant Ovechkin sucks or Datsyuk sucks. The Crosby sucks chant comes off as classless and kinda stupid. Come on, you guys are much classier than Philly!
No we aren't. We have a lot of jealous fans that wish we actually had a generational talent and leader like Crosby.
