1st Round: Flyers vs Penguins

[3074326]

Then he shouldn't start shit.

This is a Crosby "fight":
- Instigate by slapping at the goalie or an extra shove a couple seconds after the whistle
- Lock up so nobody can throw a punch
- Immediately jerk the other player's jersey straight down at the shoulders hoping you both go down and the refs come in and stop
- If that doesn't work, just hang on until the ref gets there
- Once the ref has stopped the "fight", now it's time to throw some cheap ass pussy punches

And how is this any different than the vast majority of NHL players?

Seriously, do watch after any whistles? You just described the average scrum.

Crosby blew a fuse yesterday, but by the sounds of it you'd think he did something awful. Chill, guys. There were 130+ penalty minutes and multiple ejections and you're talking about the player who didn't fight? (even though he did actually fight in the game) This is exactly like it always is. Crosby does something not cookie-cutter and everyone bitches about it because it's Sidney Crosby.

Yep. I get the same answer from every Penguins fan. And yet every other fan (and player) sees him for the pussy he is. Must be all of us with our blind jealousy and hatred. Has nothing to do with him being the biggest douche in hockey.

Crosby gets into scrums like every other player in the league and he's a little bitch. Got it.

You're a Rangers fan. Your hatred isn't blind. Crosby kills you guys. And every other team in the league. Probably has a lot more to do with that, but that's probably just me being a biased fan.

Wake me when the Rangers can win a Cup. Crybaby or not, he can play and you Ranger fans would lick his balls if he would come to play his home games in the Garden.

Nope. They'd never let a crybaby play for them. They only let crybabies coach their team.

its not just ranger fans. it pretty much everyone else not a pens fan. trust me. take off the glasses.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

He fought yesterday. I didn't catch every second of the game, but which incident are you referring to? Are you guys expecting him to fight with someone who is usually a fighter? Crosby is many things, but retarded is not one of them.

Grabbing Hartnell by the back of the jersey and trying to pull him over backwards then being rescued by Craig Adams when it was REALLY time to go.

That's a bitch move.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Yep....there's the patented "You're a Ranger fan". Who fucking cares what team I like? Who I like doesn't change how much of a little bitch Crosby is.

both correct. I know Blackhawk and Wild fans that feel exactly the same way.

That was the one I caught as it happened that made me go from thinking Crosby hate was "haters gonna hate" to sorry I ever doubted anyone.

To be fair it was surrounded by a lot of cheap shots from Neal and Asham that made the emotions run a little higher I guess. Those two clowns should get at least a game. Crosby should just be made to finish the next fight he starts (without his football sized helmet and visor.)

Watching games across the NHL though, the Penguins weren't the only ones to lose their fucking minds, they were just the most egregious.

Kovacevic: Don't bother showing for Game 4

PHILADELPHIA — Within a couple hours of maybe the most pathetic playoff performance in Penguins history, the sloppy, senseless and stupid-beyond-words 8-4 loss to the Flyers in Game 3 on Sunday, the tattered remains of this team boarded an aircraft for Pittsburgh. That`s where they`re set to practice the next two days, then return here for Game 4.

Do us a favor, gentlemen: Don`t come back.

No, I mean it.

Just fold the sweaters like you`ve folded mentally in these Stanley Cup playoffs. Pack up like you`ve packed it in, and head off to Moose Jaw or Magnitogorsk for the summer.

But don`t come back here.

Not until you`re ready to use — and keep — your heads. Not until you`re prepared to take the ice with some semblance of dignity, discipline and, yeah, maybe even a shift or two of defense.

Want to send a busload of call-ups from Wilkes-Barre?

Go nuts. It`s right up the road.

Those kids, even the full-time knuckle-draggers, wouldn`t soil the franchise`s reputation like Arron Asham did with his disgraceful stick assault on Brayden Schenn, that before jabbing Schenn while face-down on the ice. The NHL`s suspension should be fierce.

Those Wilkes-Barre kids wouldn`t waste half the afternoon petulantly chasing personal grudges, either. Kris Letang killed the Penguins` early momentum with his stupid, selfish cross-check, then saw fit to get tossed for fighting while another fight was going on. Chris Kunitz was no sharper when slashing a Flyer in the attacking zone when the Penguins again had something going in the third. James Neal`s later hit that wiped out Sean Couturier wasn`t nearly as bad as folks here fussed about, but it was well away from the puck.

Even Sidney Crosby lost his cool, inexplicably risking his health by fighting Claude Giroux — though Crosby assured me nothing landed — and whacking his way all over the rink.

Afterward, too, despite assurances that "we`re not frustrated," he uncharacteristically raised eyebrows by saying of the Flyers` mega-pest Jakub Voracek, "I don`t like him. Why? Because I don`t like him. I don`t like any guy on their team."

That`s Crosby?

These are the Penguins?

im pretty sure this guy isnt a rangers fan.

 

[3074326]

both correct. I know Blackhawk and Wild fans that feel exactly the same way.

Ah, so because you know some fans who feel that way, then they all feel that way?

One of my best friends is a die-hard Blues fan and he roots for the Penguins when they aren't playing each other. I have another friend who is a Lightning fan. He also roots for the Pens when they aren't playing each other.

So, I know plenty of fans who don't feel that way.

None of this is relevant, at all.

Yep....there's the patented "You're a Ranger fan". Who fucking cares what team I like? Who I like doesn't change how much of a little bitch Crosby is.

Is that you Tortorella?

And what does that article have to do with the current discussion about Crosby? Nothing at fucking all. It says the game got out of control and Crosby said he didn't like anyone on the Flyers. Groundbreaking shit right there.

What is really funny is that Hagelin just got suspended for three games for a pretty awful elbow on Alfredsson. That's far fucking worse than anything Crosby has done in this series. Yet, Crosby is the little bitch. He's just the little bitch not giving people concussions by elbowing their fucking heads in the glass. And Torts bitches about Crosby and Malkin having no respect? Where are his comments talking about his own players?

 

[3074326]

Grabbing Hartnell by the back of the jersey and trying to pull him over backwards then being rescued by Craig Adams when it was REALLY time to go.

That's a bitch move.

Remember a few years ago when Ovechkin was getting ready to go with a player and some random Capitals player came in and rescued him?

It's no secret that teammates don't like their best players fighting. That's why it doesn't happen much. Again, this is a league-wide thing and not a Crosby thing. And you guys are telling me to take the glasses off?

This whole conversation is hilarious to me. It's so absurd. Crosby blew a fuse like about 12 other players yesterday. But he didn't really do anything that outrageous. There were three hits by the Pens yesterday that were far more dangerous and insult-worthy than anything Crosby did. James Neal had two. Asham had one. Claude Giroux tried to kick Paul Martin in game two. No discussion on that. Pretty big bitch move there. Why not talk about that?

look who is talking.

Penguin fans are the kings of bringing up shit that has nothing to do with the conversation. Quick, ignore that because I'm a Rangers fan. It's easier to rationalize your love of a douche.
