The header of your post up there states "Crosby sucks"
:facepalm:
I'm not sure why NHL centers give him so much room he doesn't have hands like a dangler does. Geno is the best player on that team when he feels like showing up.
Crosby has a lot of talent but almost zero respect from peers.

1-0 Tampa early, the home crowd is loving it.
Edit: 1-1 Montreal scores about 15 seconds later.
GO WINGS!
I will never forget the amount of bitching and complaining he did after Detroit beat them for the title in 2008. It kills me that we lost to them in 2009, but at least we beat them once, so they can't say shit to us.
1) I don't live in Detroit, let alone Michigan.
2) I meant in terms of wins and losses.
GOAL JACKETS!!!!!!!
NOTE: I'm a Red Wings fan, but absolutely hate the Penguins, so I want them to lose in four.
Detroit might lose to Boston, but they won't get swept. The Red Wings always come to play in the post season though, as evidenced by last season. They're weren't a very good team last year, but STILL got to the playoffs and should have defeated those bastard Blackhawks, but they choked, which is what happens sometimes. Don't be surprised, however, if the Red Wings beat the Bruins.
Pittsburgh fans don't have the highest hockey IQs in the world. Blatant interference call and the boos come out in full force. Okay. Idiots.
Yea, they should have cheered the penalty called on their team...such hooligans.
I was not aware that there are only two options --cheering and booing--for fandom at a hockey game. How about sit there and accept the call?
I'm from Michigan, but lived a number if years in Pittsburgh. You couldn't be more wrong. Seriously.
I have always despised this argument. Same with the college basketball fans who think the refs should "let them play" in the last minute of the game, and it just turns into a hack fest. A foul is a foul. A penalty is a penalty, regardless of whether it's the regular season or the playoffs. As to Pittsburgh fans in general, that may be true, but live that looked like a very clear interference call, so I just didn't understand the booing.
Pens fan here also. Sorry peeps. I love the Sidney hatorade talk out everybody not a Pens fan.
Except he isn't the best...
Pure offense? Probably Ovechkin, or at least it's damn close. All around player, in terms of pure skill? Possibly Datsyuk. That guy makes magic with the puck on his stick, and actually hustles back on defense too.
Crosby's pretty clearly in the top 5 players in the NHL right now, had a fantastic season, and that's not arguable.
I'll take Pavel Datsyuk over any player in the world.
OK, we don't literally mean he sucks. He is obviously a skilled hockey player. He still sucks though.
People love to hate the best.
Columbus goes up 3-1, wow.
You guys know who else is a bitch? Fleury.
Fleury is effing shook.
Nice one. As many mental errors as possible, please.
