Sidney Crosby VS Keith Ballard-Pittsburgh Penguins VS Florida Panthers-4-5-09

[datremixgroup]

i love u crosby

[illylax25]

I want to see crosby fight lucic...that would be an entertaining one to watch...

[DragRiver2]

crosby has never lost a fight

[pimpinhector]

Crosby is good but he's a little bitch about fighting....But don't get me wrong he stood up and fought but hes a bitch about it

[avtv1111]

I JUST LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!

[19tazer87]

Pre Sure crosby won...

[Brereton111]

@19tazer87

You think not throwing a single punch is a win?

He tugged Ballards jersey until he full on the ice..

[pengwinsfan09]

Pens fan. If crosby wasn't on my team then i wouldn't really like him either. Especially if he was in philly, then I would hate him. But there isn't any getting around that he IS or Tied for the no1 player in the NHL. (with ovi). Crosby isn't a fighter (i think we all agree on that, but as captain, he had to respond to the hit on malkin)

[pengwinsfan09]

Everyones view would be different if crosby was on their team.

[dshunters14514]

Buffalo Sabres fan here. crosby is a whining little punk. it was fun to watch him get his ass kicked.

[p95humbucker]

@dshunters14514 it was more fun to watch him rape miller in the Olympics and take that gold medal from him hahahaha

[NHLfreak87]

People say that Panthers fans suck. Just listen to them fcol. They're great.

[tharockstar01]

I think tech Crosby 'won' cause he got Ballard down first...but Ballard did get more hits in than Sid...even though I'm a die hard Crosby fan...he really cannot fight.

[NHLfreak87]

@tharockstar01 He's not meant to.

[tharockstar01]

@NHLfreak87 true. he's not a fighter. he's a play maker.

[NHLfreak87]

@tharockstar01 Exactly. And great at it. Man I can't wait for next season! :)

[elephantking47]

Crosby is a pussy. He's bit a good fighter. He just pulls at jersys

[MW2stickyfingersph]

@elephantking47 Thank you you are my hero , someone who actually has EYES i wana buy you a beer haha

[NHLfreak87]

@elephantking47 Keep in mind that this is a guy who was never meant to fight at all. Bet you would blow chunks if you fought Ballard. No offense just saying. Btw pussy? Come on you're embarrassing yourself.

[pensrock8]

@elephantking47 CROSBY IS N.1 THER QUES TION THAT HES N1

[Brereton111]

Even though it's kind of obvious Crosby can't fight, but you have to give it to him.

He stuck up for his line mate. Calling him a pussy such as 1988blowme did is idiotic.

Sticking up for Malkin and going up against ballard kind of means he isn't a pussy.

[pimpinhector]

Yeah thats true but he's a little bitch about fighting.

[1988blowme]

i think after crosby initiated it he was thinking, "oh fuck my life" and takes a punch or two and just throws him down. good job sidney, at least u made it look like u wanted to fight......fuckin pussy!

[Br3nd3n14]

watch your heads its keith balllarddd

[freddypoo4]

yea, crosby definatly cant fight...my man is still the best player in the game...and props to keith ballard and nailing malkin, beautiful hit even though i hated to see it happen to a pen...im not giving him props on owning crosby cuz its really not that hard

[reliablethreat23]

keith ballard kicked crosby's ass!!!

[reliablethreat23]

crosby is such a pussy!!! all he does is pull on the other guys jersey!!!

[flyingbridgeman2]

@reliablethreat23 which is sorta what everyone in the nhl goes for??? your a fuckin retard

[flyers5342]

i dont think ive seen one fight when crosby doesnt tackle his opponent. hes such a pussy

[flyingbridgeman2]

@flyers5342 howabout the one on halloween vs. the wild where sid fucked up marek zidlicky?

[flyers5342]

@flyingbridgeman2 hahaha he didnt fuck him up at all..he did get punches in but they were so weak and barely did anything. then he just tugged at his jersey and the ref came in. nothing to see there at all

[NHLfreak87]

@flyers5342 I suggest you actually watch the fight.

[MrEazyE187]

crosby is a bitch

[sidneycrosbyfan1000]

@MrEazyE187  and like you aren't dick head

[pigeonster]

crosby got slugged lol... Ballard FTW

[magicalpoop]

This is one of the many reasons why NHL will never become that popular, or even respected.

It's such an unprofessional sport.

Todd Bertuzzi is all I need to say. All it takes is Crosby doing this again on a bad call, and suddenly the entire team and the Penguins are on top of Crosby and his trophy victim. One night a Penguin, the next day a quadrapaligic or dead.

[feeeley09]

lol idiot, hockey is in like the top 3 most popular sports in the world.

you wouldnt last a minute on the ice with these guys.

go watch golf if this is too much for you.

pussy.

[magicalpoop]

@feeeley09 Hockey is #8 for top sports in the world.

Nope I watch Hockey, I'm Canadian. I don't hate the sport but the "fighting" like this is a joke. Not to mention its an antiquated thing of the past for the sport.

I only speak the truth. More than half the teams are in hot places in the US, Phoenix coyotes..need I say more?

Canada and the real fans of the NHL get shafted.

I probably cant skate very well anymore but I play college basketball. Definitely not some fat kid drinking molson.

[feeeley09]

what difference does it make where they're located?

i have no idea what you mean when u say real fans get shafted,

..thats totally wierd.

..and hockey is a contact sport, if your star player gets hit like this you have to stick up for him. if not your opponent is gonna own your ass all game.

fighting has been part of the sport since the beginning,

p.s. how do i know you really play basketball, for all i know, you could be the fat kid drinking molson.

[molotilov]

Хер этот Баллард! В башке ваще насрано, много ума не надо чтоб грубо в тело атакующего сыграть (жопашник* на кол его)

[nowthatsgangsta]

Whoever the color commentator is he just needs to shut up. What an idiot.

[foxnotch]

How so? He's right... it's rediculous that you can't throw a clean hit without having a fag from the other team coming after you.

[xife223]

Are you kidding??? You have to protect your better players.. Clean hit or not if you dish out a hit like that you have to be prepared to face the consequences.

If you heard crosby got the extra 2 minutes, so the hit was still effective in drawing a penalty.

[foxnotch]

So wait for him to get the puck and put him through the boards. Fuckin a, malkin's not a little dude by any means; he doesn't need cindy slapping an opposing player for him.

[feeeley09]

it's a team sport. if you're on a team and your star player gets hurt, ur f*cked,

that was a good, hard, clean hit, but it was on malkin, crosby, as the captain of his team, is just doing his job.

..so ur telling me that if ur on a team and ur teamate is getting his ass kicked all game, ur just gonna sit there and do nothing? thats just disrespectful to ur whole team.

[foxnotch]

No, I'll go out and knock the guy into next week with a hit. I always have and still would if there was hitting in mens league. A good hit will do much more for momentum than landing a few punches, contrary to what most people think.

[avaguiar]

Crosby sure has heart..he's no supposed to be fighting but it shows a lot of leadership

[sidneycrosbyfan1000]

sidney rules

[smhockey12y3849940]

crosby cant fight for shit and is a little bitch because his butt buddy got flipped because they both suck

[mkailov13]

I guess the number 1 and number 3 top scorers in the NHL last year both suck. The Conn Smythe Trophy and Stanley Cup rings don't matter either.

[Coolbeans1777]

Fuck you crosby and malkin have more skill then you will ever have in your life you little bitch

[sidneycrosbyfan1000]

fk you smhockey12y2849940

[SBlondee10]

Great Game! I was there!!! :)

[joeperryfan13]

I WAS THERE!!!!

[cursedlemon]

Crosby has such a wonderful nu-NHL mentality. "I HAVE TO FIGHT EVERYONE AFTER EVERY CLEAN HIT EVER EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T FIGHT FOR SHIT".

[rPENSmoyerFAN]

Sid.

[jparker1167]

i love to see people talking shit that know nothing about hockey and wouldnt drop the gloves with anyone but ill comment on someone else fighting.

also im not a big crosby fan either but saying he sucks make you look like a fucking retard, hes top in points every year. no he cant fight but thats not the point. i have seen ballard get is ass kicked in a few videos.

ovie is a great goal scorer but thats all he is hes not a team player and he would rather take a bad angle shot then pass it

[Has7e]

all i have to say is whose in the stanly cup finally hahah suck it florida panther fans haha have fuyn watching the finals

[Jackaroe58]

Panthers are a pile of horse dung. I revel every time they fail to make the playoffs.

[Jay333]

u must have a pretty sad life. and what do u have against the panthers?

[Sinsemilla4u]

The only thing I have against them is they stole Bugsy from us (Malone). Lol I kid, they are cool, hope Malone's having a great time in sunny Florida. :)

[TheT4xid3rmist]

Malone went to the Lightning, not the Panthers.

[momonic]

that gotta hurt

[sydneyballerr]

i had front row seats to this game!!!!!!!!!

[penspalex26]

At least Crosby fights he's no wimp

[pinkfloyd720]

i was at this game

[43percentvince]

Crosby had to defend his boyfriend. I treasure every hit I see on Crosby and don't bother shit on me for hating on Crosby. I've heard it all before.

[genoluvr71]

at least he fought unlike some p#@$% ove

[DcUnited160]

Ovie's teammates don't get jacked up like cindy's. And if they did, we have role player role get in fights. Ovie is our goal scorer. He understands his role. It's why he's gonna win MVP again

[eddieandemily2808]

cry baby got fucked up ahaa fucking bitch i hate him i bet he suck malkins dick after the game

[treed19]

atta boy keith ballard, great 2 for 1 on their best players. and i don't know why people are saying oh good job crosby for droppin the gloves, that was just sad to watch because it wasnt even a fight, it was just crosby hangin on to ballard tryin to pull him down before he got destroyed

[AjoBB]

best hit

[shamammal]

all you shit talker just sound stupid. you guy are the ones that thing kobe and terrell owns suck. i guess when your one of the best, people that hate there own lives just talk shit and hate on other people good stuff. i is not if the fight was clean or not, a star on your team gets hit like that, closest guy in drops the gloves. i would have liked to see Gurein do the fighting, but props to crosby for jumping in, but hes no fighter and he knows, thats why he never fights. leave fighting in hoc

[boucherm55]

maaaaad respect to my boy Sid! Doesn't matter if it was a good fight or not, just for him to go out there and drop them for Malkin when you have a guy like Guerin on the ice at the same time was a heck of a move. Way to show all your haters that your not afraid to drop em. Best player in the NHL hands down.

[islesrule224]

Its real good, in fact its great when he is in the box for 7 min when they need him on the ice. There is a reason he was the only one to jump in it was because Guerin the veteran, like the announcers said, is not going to go after someone for a clean hit that Malkin brought on himself. It wasnt a heck of a move it was a retarted one that shows Sid still isnt mature enough. He should be leaving fighting up to guys like goddard considering its his job. Wait till he hurts himself then ull see

[boucherm55]

what does guerin being a vet have anything to do with it?? and ya if someone nails your superstar you go after them to send a message.. hockey 101. and did you even watched the game, because guys like goddard or talbot or cooke werent on the ice. Sid gave Malkin a suicide pass and man'd up and took responsibility for it.

[hoopr24]

hey dumbass if you were watchin the video u'd notice that guerin was also comin to get ballard its jus that crosby got there first

[islesrule224]

Well then it means that Guerin was going to take control of the situation meaning Crosby didnt have to do it. Really helps prove the point that he is not thinking, taking himself out of a game for 7 min instead of letting Guerin handle it. It is the same reason why Zdeno Chara does not fight as much as he used to or why Iginla doesnt fight a lot either (except they are alot bigger and know what they are doing) they are more important to their team on the ice not in the box or locker room.

[GoPensGo377]

Crosbys young, Chara and Iginla are vets

[kylewaugh03]

I would love to see sidny the kidny try to fight ove

[boucherm55]

hahaha great reply bud, and that would never happen ove is a joke, sure he can hit but ive never seen him drop em

[VoiceofReason25]

wow guy below me u know a lot about hockey your probably from new york or philly

[seropneo101]

lol sid is fucking a faggot hes a crying piece of shit who deserves to get knocked out and hes shit now hes just there for the marketing

[shamammal]

just there for marketing is the stupidest thing i have ever hear. the pengiuns hadnt made the playoffs in almost ten years until he showed up, and they went to the cup last year buddy. you probably think that kobe and tyrell owens suck too.

[lilStunt420]

look at his stats retard, lets see you score 50 goals in a season, Crosby could probably deke you so bad your uniform spins off buddy

[rtasublime]

How is that a fight, crosby didnt even throw a punch?

[xMiZZxARiCAx]

omgnickweiner, seriously, grow up. Calling people names doesn't make you smart, it shows your stupid. Get a life, and stop trying to pick fights with people on YouTube. Man you're lame. People have an opinion, and they say it. Get used to it dumb ass. And go back to HS, because you need to learn grammar.

[I1c3dUpI]

girls stop complaining about that theres nothing wrong, fair hipcheck and crosby stand up for his team-mate. wtf r u arguing?

[NapFloridian]

I love the Pens Flight lesson.. it looked much better right there... lol it was so awesome... and the sound when that PENS ass dropped lol

[jhopp1234]

why are you all bashing Sid? he is the captain firstly. secondly, the leading scorer in the league just got laid out. so what makes Sid look better as a captain? skate away like a frightened girl, or dropping the gloves and standing up for his teammates. thats called earning respect from your teammates. thats why Ovechkin will never be captain, because he charges and nails people then has his goon, brashear, come in to protect his pussy ass.

[youareGATORbait]

BOOOOM. Malkin got blooown up and Crosby got his faggot ass, beat. I wish Ballard got free to put him in his place. Crosby should've got, in total, a 10 minutes penalty - but who are we kidding... they wouldnt call that on the NHL's gay son Crosby.

[jcg43]

i was at that game when it happened GO CATS

[rysa91]

CROSBY LOST!

[BaritoneMSD]

Ballard fucked Crosby up, Crosby just threw Ballards weight against him. But my god, the crowd went APESHIT when Malkin went flying, and crazier when Crosby decided to try to grow a pair. Beautiful hit.

[Pojotin]

haha crosby is pussy

[NonPtStatement]

Picture perfect hip check. That is exactly how you are taught to throw the hip. You want to see a low bridger, look at Steve Ott. Malkin really did make this worse on himself by trying to scoot around it.

[Kristin2Marie2]

the hit was clearly very very low. i wouldn't have called it, but at the same time, sid did what a good captain would do. legal or not, clean or not, it was a huge hit and malkin it lucky he didnt fuck his neck up the way he landed. ballard even said himself, it was the right thing to do.

[Kristin2Marie2]

"They were on the power play, so they didn't have a bunch of tough guys out there. I expected someone to come, I didn't know who it would be. He's their captain and he understands that no matter who it is, you have to do something. He's an intense player, competitive. At that point of the game, that was pretty much the right thing to do."

[ABUDABI76]

Crosby took Ballard down, but Ballard is still winner for this littlepussy fight

[PIZZAisGOODEN]

nice to see pete denis

[Dammer44]

I hate those biased announcers. It was a clip....... anything below the thigh is considered a clip. As for the instigator, Sid might have asked him to fight, but Ballard dropped the mitts first. They both wear visors, but you can see Ballard reach to undo his chin strap....... he was willing to take off his helmet. I think Crosby made the right decision by NOT taking his off.

[cellardoor111]

It's too bad Crosby didn't even land one punch, but it's nice to see him sticking up for Malkin. I would hope that any other Penguin who was in Crosby's position at the time would have done the same thing. Nothing against Ballard, I just thought the fight was appropriate given the severity of the hit. I can't believe Malkin stayed on the ice after that! I can think of a lot of players who would have gone off to at least take an extended break before the next period. What a player!

[DcUnited160]

That was as clean as a hip check can be bern. Nothing wrong with that play. Nothing wrong with crosby sticking up for his teammate either. The only thing I have a problem with is that crosby keeps getting in fights while wearing a visor. But maybe thats just me... I agree with whale tho.. Crosby is too talented to be taking a 5 minute major. Florida would score shortly after this fight

[WhaleRider86]

hmmm.....I cant understand it. this was just a worse reaction from crosby. we have guerin, kunitz and other players to drop the gloves time by time. crosby shouldnt drop the gloves and get a major. we need him on the ice for scoring goals and assists. he might think that his reaction was necessary, but I dont think so. we lost and didint make it for the playoffs jet.

[bonorye]

WICKED...hip check

[bern1417]

figure's a shit team,gets shit announcers.leave it to potvin who was a cheap shot artist in his day to call that hit clean.ballard's hips were below malkin knees.when kasparatis did that shit it was cheap,so how this is any different who knows.crosby did what he should have.. he stood up for his teammate.ballard throwing 3 punches off of crosby's helmet doesn't constitute a win u fuckin retards...put up the vid of talbot(i think)laying ballard out in the 3rd period.

[omgnickweiner]

by the way thats y ovechkin got rocked mike richards

[omgnickweiner]

by*mike richards

[alexotto19]

Malkin got romped lol

crosby cant fight.

[xMiZZxARiCAx]

Sidney, honey, the only thing you're good at is being hott (: lol

Quit the whole tough guy fighting lol

[omgnickweiner]

u dumb ? yeh hes not a fighter but hes sticking up for a teammate thats apart of being a leader

[xMiZZxARiCAx]

Uhm, no. He needs to quit fighting because he sucks at it. If you can't fight, then don't. It was clean. There's no need for you to act "smart" and call others dumb. How childish. It's an "opinion" - do you know what that means? Did you know, that we're all entitled to one, as so many have shown on this video?

[jhopp1234]

ok buddy, he is a captain. the leading scorer in the league just got his bell rung and is down on the ice. what would you do if you were Sidney? skate away probably, right? because that makes you look like a great leader, right? your stupid.

[omgnickweiner]

stfu u dumb bitch u dont know shit its not about being good at fighting he felt he need to spark up hes team hes not let hes teammate get hurt

[furlong1018]

hes not trying to be tough. hes sticking up for his teammate

[Kristin2Marie2]

oh, and ballard dropped the gloves first. a pussy would have skated away.

[Kristin2Marie2]

these commentators are fucking retarded. florida fans: better start practice putting. only a little while until you are golfing while the pens are playing to win lord stanley's cup.

suck it.

[DcUnited160]

Hahaha, terrific.

THE GREAT 8 FOR MVP!!!

[sbetanco5]

Typical Cindy Crosby. He's the biggest pussy in hockey. Ballard makes a clean hit and Crosby comes up from behind and tries to fight him when hes not looking. Then he shakes Ballards shirt in some kind of pathetic girly attempt at a punch (i think?). Once hes getting his ass beat which was inevitable....he throws him on the ground...WHAT A BITCH

[Jay333]

Well thats what happens when you have ur head down.

Ballard-2 Malkin and Crosby-0

[jparker1167]

that was a clean hit, muma i believe crosby is putting points up this year even tho i think they talk to much about him and pretend he does stuff that no one else can do, i dont think crosby was trying to prove he is tough, he was sticking up for malkin happens all the time and i believe it was crosby that made the pass that got malkin killed lol

crosby is no fighter but to say he sucks is retarded, hes top 3 in points every year so if crosby suks what are the rest of the players?

[rwbruin]

the announcer is high on crack! that hit was low around malkin's knees and not because malkin jumped. players should learn to throw hip checks or not throw them at all. i think crosby is a punk but he was right for stepping up to ballard for a cheap hit.

[Frenchman130520]

Gotta admire crosby for stepping up, but he definately got his ass handed too him. from what i saw he didnt even get a punch in

[oSuperV83o]

Oo..damn...that was an awkward fall! He rolled over on his neck!

I can see why Sid took objection to that.

Ah well, good to see him toughen up!

[jparker1167]

lol nice comment crosby sucks he sucks at fighting for sure, but i would be he makes more money in in one game then you make a year, or are you in the nhl too santino you probably cant even skate

[muma2213]

it dosnt matter how much money he makes... hes over-rated, and this year hes turned into a dumbass that thinks he has to prove to everyone that hes tough... but hes not, i would rather see a scoring crosby then a crosby that cant fight... and i dont even like the kid, OV is the real player

[sbetanco5]

Ovie is way better...and alot tougher...

[santino0027]

crosby sucks at life.

[PDubs24]

Good on Crosby. Nice to see him step up.

[xMiZZxARiCAx]

Uh no jhop, you're the stupid one. You're probably one of those losers on here who is a 41yr old virgin who has nothing better to do than fight with random people on here. Get a life, geez.
