Our team and our coach never used that as an excuse for why we lost.

QFT I guess Montreal can brag that they own the sport of hockey with all their titles, based on some of the logic being used here.

Contrary to how the red wings play, hockey is physical game. Injuries are thus part of it. That's why using it as an excuse is just laughable. And no, us trolls won't leave.

don't worry, i'm milking it.

great post. they just don't get how hearing all the excuses is gonna be constant entertainment for a long time. keep poking fun at crosby. it doesn't get to any pens fan the way a game 7 loss gets to you wings fans. and it won't turn that loss into a win. the first road team to win a SCF game 7 on the road since '71....i sorta understand why you're embarassed.

Should I retort with a "Crosby's overrated!!!" or "Bettman fixed the whole season!!"? Or wait, here's a classic - "We're still the better team".

this forum is so entertaining for a pens fan looking to rub your noses in it. Reading all the excuses for why you lost a game 7, why crosby sucks, this place is awesome! trolling never gets old

look at my avatar. be jealous.

We won. Be swoll. LOL. I get satksfactio . Ice your pains LOL>

we won. cry aboyt ut, pittsburgh could care less. we outplayed yinz,

Crosby has a better command of the english language than Malkin. That's why, Media-Wise, he's more lambasted than Malkin. Believe me, Malkin would talk trash if he could, much like Ovie does. Regardless, I think Crosby could be a way worse sport than he is right now. Look at the NFL and their egos. It's not close to the NHL, were everyone respects everyone. Trust me, Malkin knows he's better than Datyuk. The majority of Pens fans don't care what others think, we know we have crosby, malkin, and staal for the nucleus of our teams. Not a bad combo, prob equal with the wings for the next few years LIKE I'VE BEEN SAYING, BOTH TEAMS HAVE GREAT PLAYERS FOR YEARS TO COME! I appreciate the way both teams play hockey.

Guess what, Crosby is not the only diver in the game. I'm a bigger soccer fan than I am hockey fan, and diving has ruined soccer as a sport. True, he's been noted to dive. But I laugh when the DETROIT RED WINGS complain about diving!!! omg, Osgood dived on that poke from talbot. Zetterberg dived when Sid did a "routine slash" in game 5.Look it up, Hank deserves an Oscar. A LOT of skill players dive and try to earn their team a PP. The Red Wings aren't any different. Game 5 was full of dives from the wings, but you still deserved to win that game for sure. Stop acting like Sidney is the only one who dives. It's not as bad as other sports (namely socccer), and EVERY team does it (or atleast tries to do it)! Occasionally, yeah, he'll try to give his team an advantage. But Detroit is not one to complain. SC Champs '09...now i'm gonna rub it in! w00t!

I love these kinda posts. I just love them. Keep hating on Syd. Face the facts: both Malkin and Syd are better than Datsyuk. Datsyuk is a very talented player, no denying that. But, both Malkin and Syd were better this year than him, both regular season and post season. Not just quantitatively (statistically), but qualitatively (things that stats can't measure) as well. Crosby and Malkin both had more points than Dats in the regular and post season, and Dats has more talent around him. He's CHARMIN SOFT, just like most of your team is, sitting out the playoffs. He's really talented, no denying that; but he's soft. And if you've watched any of the pens games (series) you'd see how valuable Syd is. Great leader? He just captain'ed his team to a SC. Keep making excuses. He could be a much bigger cocky A-Hole if he wanted to (think terrell owens), but he stays classy for most interviews and media. He plays above average D for an offensive player, i'm sorry but watch any game he's played in. He's not going to shutdown the best in the league by himself, much like Zetterberg didn't shut down Crosby all by himself (myth). And even if you don't think he's the "greatest" in this league, he certainly deserves mention. The only other players who are on his level as far as individual talent are Malkin (teammate), Ovechkin, Datsyuk, and MAYBE Zetterberg. There are a lot of other really really good players in this sport, but few who can be mentioned with Crosby. Feel lucky that the wings have some players who can, cause I feel lucky that the pens have two amazing players in Sid and Malkin.

he's not a defenseman. he won't (and can't) be in on every defensive effort. but when a team had possession in the pens zone established, crosby is usually behind the blue line playing D. he's also known to go behind his own net several times and win 50/50 pucks and grind along the boards. he probably will never win a selke trophy, but that doesn't mean he can't play D or never plays it.

to his credit, yeah hank did good (with A LOT of help from his team). but what happend to last year's playoff MVP this year? why didn't he put up such fantastic numbers? with the exception of one game, he wasn't that great on offense....none of the wings really were. hank also got shut down. "Crosby plays good D now? Coulda fooled me. He's a great player for what he does, which is making plays and scoring goals, but a good dman he is not." how many pens games have you watched? ever? yea, it shows...
