notice how kris draper was the one that bitched the most about crosby not shaking hands, but notice how he was the first one to leave the handshake line...
Here's the thing Captains don't always lead the handshake lines (we saw that last year with Jonathan Toews) usually a guy from the 4th line or a D man will just randomly start the Handshake line and anyone around will jump right into the line. However even though Toews never lead the line; he was like the 3rd or 4th person which is more than ok, Crosby on the other hand didn't even show up until the arena started booing...if that's not disrespect than I don't know what is...
@MPDLR STANLEY CUP CHAMPION, OLYMPIC HERO, CANADIAN HOCKEY LEGEND and the only player that the Greatest Hockey Player Ever; Gretzky said would break his NHL records.
I'm not a Crosby hater or anything like that. On the contrary, I think he's very talented. However, I can't deny a sense of disappointment when he didn't lead his team in the handshake. Of course he's overcome with a distraction of joy, he won the Stanley Cup! But, the handshake is a ritual; represents sportsmanship. You gotta say "good game" to the other players. After all they were contenders too. Bad mistake on Sid's part.
lol does draper really think he's good enough to shake lord sideous's hand? sorry b*tch, the cros was too busy with the stanley cup. stupid b*tch chris draper could wait in line like the rest of the fans :-D
@pandala420 I'm pretty sure Draper has three more cups and 10 times the class, actually. the point is that as a leader he failed quite exceedingly. I guarantee a real captain like lidstrom, lecavalier, drury, etc would never have done that, no matter how thrilled they were. and i'd include ovi on that list, too, though i like him about as much as "the cros"
buddy please...first off since when does the LOSING team dictate when the handshakes take place?oh yeah,when detroit looses.you didn't see the pens in a hurry to shake hands in 08 did you?instead they let detroit celebrate and when the wings were ready the line formed.here the wings pissed off bc they thought they were invincible had to be in a big hurry.crosby was being swarmed by the wilkes barre guys and the pens coaching staff.thats why he was late.half of your boys couldn't handle losing.
as the team captian you need to have respect. crosby diddent and lidstrom did. its not that hard to see. swamped or not you need to have respect. and you say we couldent handle loosong? HAHAHA llook at the pans last year they were sitting on there asses!!!!!!!!! wings at least dont feel sory for themselves.
he respects the game more than 80% of the guys in the nhl..the kid lives at the rink.the losing team NEVER starts the handshakes.however,here they think they have too bc they can't deal with the fact that they didn't show up for 2.5 periods in a game 7.yes they sat on their asses after they lost.however,did they want to hurry up and get off the ice?no.they let the wings celebrate and when det was ready to shake they did.that was merely a soak it up bc we don't want to have this feeling again
well he lives at the rink eh? HOW THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HAVING RESPECT!!???? crosby has terrible rep in the NHL. NO QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. wings diddent hurry the penguins up to get off the ice are you kidding me, after the hand shake they were waiting for crosby and he never came so they just left. wen the pens loose the cup crosby is first in line, when they win he is no where to be seen.
ya his bad rep comes from being a baby his first 2 yrs in the league.the fuck they didn't hurry the pens up.watch the other vids of the handshake and it's abundently clear.they (lids,draper and a few others) waited for 10 secs.franzen and a few started for the dressing room and then stopped when he came over.bottomline the nobody(draper)who got traded for a fucking $1 made a big deal about nothing.let the winners do their thing and deal with it!!!
buddy you dont know what the hell you are talking about. first of all crosbys first 2 years were his only good ones!!!! he turned into a self hearted prick after his 2nd year and it was a smart move to get draps for a buck. all it proovs is that ken holland are GM is a hell lot better than yours. we have won 4 cups in the last 11 years without draft pics. you guys got crosby and malkin cuz you sucked. we have gon all the way without draft picts cuz we have always been good unlike someone
huh?first of all you forgot fleury and staal with our draft picks.secondly as you will find out you need some draft picks bc well the day of the wings are over.holland is better than shero?funny.3 years as a gm and 2 trips to the finals thats not bad.slide over bc your about to see back to back champs and 4 in 8 years :)
and yes i do know what i'm talking about.he was a complete brat his first two years in the league.his only good ones?try this year is is best year to date.heartless?lets see he deferred money to not only sign malkin but to sign fleury as well.thats hardly being self centered dude.if was selfish he would have played in the third period even though he couldnt cut on his skates.he's more of a team player then he gets credit for.i would say maybe get the nhl network and watch some pens games.
oh he deferred momey to his own team thats cute. does he also brush flury's teeth and tuck him in at night? and i dont mean best year by points i mean best year by attitude! he is all show like the capitals.
well dude you evidently know very little about hockey outside of detroit.crosby's worst years attitude wise were his first two years...and that is a FACT!!and yes he deferred money so his team could be successful.a thing many players wouldn't do at the age of 30 let alone at 22.that proving he isn't all show like some in the dc area.i don't see zetts or lidstrom or the russian taking less do you?
Shut the fuck up! If people want to like players then let them. It has nothing to do with you. Somebody call the fucking wahmbulance, At least Sidney Crosby complains in the best interest of his team, all of you just complain like you want to suck Penguin/Red Wing cock.
no, everybody wanted to hug crosby and so he kept getting held up to get in line, he later said by the time he got out of the huddle most of the red wings were gone and that he would never try to avoid shaking hands with them
The original critique still stands...Crosby is a classless pussy and its now all on video tape. Got nothn to do with winning or losing the series you dumb stupid Pens fans...it's is faggoty whiney behavior that everyone hates. The NHL players voted him the biggest crybaby in the League,(look it up) explain that one ...you bitchs from Pitt .
Yeah, no class, watch his interviews and all the media scrums. He's the most classy guy in the NHL since Mario Lemieux. It's funny that he not shaking Lidstrom's hand is a faggoty whiney behavior that everyone hates. You're just mad your team didn't win.
Pens fans can't erase the video not deny that the NHL players voted him the biggest crybaby in Hockey. He's all yours I'm sure yr proud as he's a whiney faggot just like Pens fans. He sleeps in Marios bed.
I'm proud that he's the best player in the NHL right now. I'm proud that he scores at least a 100 points per season. He's a great leader who only 'whines' to try to get his team to win. Isn't that the main goal of hockey, to win. You dumb people who think he is a pussy are fucking insane. Watch how physical he plays, he doesn't back down from any player, unless it's unnecessary, like if the Pens are up by 1 or 2. He's full throttle every shift, and plays with tthe heart of a lion.
lindstrom couldn't wait a few more seconds for crosby to walk up and shake his hand, it must be tough for a pro athlete to be standing for too long....
this shows how much of a respectable person Lidstrom is and how pathetic Crosby is... now that crosby has a cup (which he didnt earn) hopefully next season we can stop hearing about him and all his bullshit
How is Lidstrom more respectable when he couldn't even wait 24 extra seconds to shake Crosbys and other players hands. Last year the Pens waited around for the Wings to be done celebrating. What did Lidstrom, Hossa, Draper and a few others do this year? Skate off the ice like sore losers.
Suck it up Caps, Flyers and Wings fans, it's over and your teams lost. Get on with your lives already.
Lol, silly bandwagon Caps fan, just joined in June to complain about the Pens winning the cup.
And if the series was fixed, they why did the Wings have nearly double the powerplays that the Pens did. Seems like an odd way to fix a series don't ya think? Or maybe Bettman was sitting in his little chair, rubbing his hands together, going "I'm going to make this a cliffhanger fix this year!" Then he told Franzen (or Zetterberg, forget) to hit the post late in the third in game 7, just for drama.
haha funny pens fans... and it wasnt the series that was fixed it was everything up to that. i hate the flyers but even i think that was rigged and same with the caps series. it was like game six tied in the 3rd with 2 minutes to go and the caps get called on a slash that wasnt even a slash.... wtf was that
Lol, you're pathetic...go watch soccer or WWE or something if you think anything was rigged. The NHL doesn't need anymore whiny know-nothing fans like you.
I'm sure when the Caps win, everything is fine and dandy, but god forbid they lose...then it's fixed! Pathetic.
And the Flyers series was anything but rigged. I'd bet money that you didn't even watch a whole game of that series though.
haha the NHL needs any fans it can get dumbass...
i'm so tired of all you pens fans. You all were getting ready to throw in the towel facing Detroit after they won the first 2 games. now everyone talks like they knew they were ganna win the whole time. all pens fans are arrogant stupid faggets. if anything the NHL doesnt need a Cindy Crosby. hes a whiner who dives and make the game look like a joke
And don't worry, we're all tired of all you Flyers, Caps and Wings fans whining their faces off like little 2 year olds. Kind of funny and ironic though when they all complain about Crosby whining, then turn around and whine about Crosby winning the Cup.
Anyway, best of luck to you with that bitching thing you all are doing, hope it helps you sleep better at night, cause it's sure not going to change the outcome of the playoffs.
lol quit repeating something you read on youtube or other forums run by Flyers/Caps/Wings fans. Ur just ultimitley insulting the refs whos job it is to notice 'dives' as the bitter fans love to say. Go watch a replay of the finals if ANYTHING was rigged it was in the wings favor with the extremely lopsided power play calls and so many no calls on detroits for slashing and tripping. The only 'whiner' here is you.
dude you have NO room to speak about crosby. he just won the cup. he torched your caps. and he won the one on one battle against ovy in the playoffs. NO ROOM son. sit down.
he did not "torch" the caps. and i have all the room to speak about crosby because he sucks. its funny how people get so pissed off about stuff. so i wont sit down and i'll keep bashing crosby cause he is a horrible player a shitty captain and a whiner... so yeah u go sit down while i wait for next season to see how many goals ovechkin will get... and try to realize your an idiot for defending crosby. it'll make u a better person
sid absolutely destroyed, dismantled, torched, crushed, peed on, annihilated, abolished, devastated, obliterated all of caps nation in that playoff series. if somebody can't admit to that then they obviously weren't watching the series. and should be labeled officially a "sid hater".
lol ok dude you need to calm down. u take defending sidney crosbitch way to seriously. if u like the way he dives and complains good for u. i dont like it and neither does anyone else who isnt a pens fan. i think crosby is the most hated player behind Sean Avery. i cant honestly think of anyone more hated than those 2
they don't like it, he don't like it, she don't like it, those people don't like it. TOUGH SHIT. deal with it. I hope all you caps fans continue to dislike him for the rest of his playing career. 'cause he's going to be around for awhile. have fun with that! :) i'll keep smilin when the stanley cup comes rolling through steeltown PA baby! faster than ovechkin can say MVP MVP MVP. bring it on OVY!!!
lol steeltown. probably one of the shittiest cities in the US. sad to see any trophies there. you guys have some of the ugliest ppl in the world. it sucks when they show the crowd at mellon arena... its so gross
i actually sort of agree with you. lol. but there blue collar people. hard workers who earn every penny that they get. so when an achievement by a local sports professional franchise comes to town...they know what it feels like when the job is completely done. there good people but that's obviously not what you want to hear. so i'm gonna make it shallow enough for you and keep it at that.
huh?funny how i've been working in falls church and living in reston,va for the last 2/12 months and the people there are not much different from here.here it's 70% white and 30% black.there it's asians,indians,camel jockeys and blacks.dc and nova both suck.although georgetown is pretty cool.funny how once again pgh was voted the most livable city in the U.S.maybe everyone should take your word that pgh is a shithole huh?
LOl yes cuz scoring 50 goals sure got them a cup this year. Hopefully the faggots stick isnt too hot to hold come the start of the season otherwise we may not even see him score 50 again! Baha, you must be 9 years old and have no concept of what a true hockey player is. Its ok you will be able to stay up later this year now that you are a yr older. You might even get to watch the end of the second period :) Chump!
really?i think he had like 12pts in 7 games.that would be torched dude.did you only start to watch hockey in 04?he's a better captain at 22 then ovie would be...ever.he's a team player and the best play maker in the nhl.ovie however is the best goal scorer in the league.
He's not a good captain. During the first like 50 games of the season the Pens were HORRIBLE! Sid did not elevate his game and make his play and teammates better. Some trades at the deadline and a new coach turned the pens around.
You people in Shittsburgh worship the wrong person. If Crosbitch "torched" the caps where is his conn smythe?
no asshole the comment wouldn't type.heres why you're dumb.the whole team played bad for 40 games.mainly bc of injuries and the players hated the coach.terrian wasn't using personnel properly.like in any sport a coach being fired nakes the team play well.the pens were so horrible they won the cup huh?this is what happens when you only start to follow a team when they finally get a superstar...you think you know the sport.nobody here worships him douche...he's just the best playmaker in the game
The atmosphere here when we went down by two was confident. Walking around and asking fans if they still have hope, and them saying yeah is definitely throwing in the towel.
and im guessing your a bandwagoner. I don't care if u live in pitt (which u prolly don't) you're a bandwagoner because the pens sucked and always have sucked untill recently.
Okay, I live in Pitt dumbass, that's one wrong, and I'm not a bandwagoner, that's two wrong. Yeah, they have sucked almost this whole decade, but they didn't have the supporting cast. back in the 90s they had a ridiculously good team. 2 back cups in 2 years, a presidents trophy, mario and jags scoring titles. Now, we got sid and geno scoring titles, consistent goalie, an alright defense, and have made the playoffs 3 straight years in the top 5 in the conference each year.
Im assuming the 1992 is the year you were born so that means you have no concept of what really happened in the 90's. You were still making a mess of your diapers. Pitts owned the league in the 90's kid and truth be told they were really only a garbage team for 4 years in the early 2000's. So that is far from always. Anyways it dont matter what you say they are the team that won this year and are the team to beat next. Your babbling bullshit has zero impact on anything!
how about Y'ALL americans shut the fuck up! you american piece of shit. who the fuck says y'all? oh wait i remember, fat american hicks! oh and by the way, we could have eat all the canadian bacon we want and we still wouldn't be as fat as you fat fucks.
Yes hockey has been around for quite a few years but how many years has Pittsburgh been in the league? 1967 just to let you in on something you probably didnt know. So any team that is new to the league is going to stink it up. So Im pretty sure your the dumb ass! Pitts has been a solid team for over 20 yrs minus those 4 years I stated earlier. So dont pretend you know anything about the game when you dont!
Sorry but that title goes to Draper and Zetterberg, they had the balls to bitch about Crosby when the wings were no fucking better last year. Ur shit is weak
Typical brain dead Pens fans who know between little or nothing about Hockey tradition. Lame fans making lame excuses for pussy classless whiney bitch cindy crosby...."he was distracted...he was happy, ...he was changing tampon"" he's fuckn azzhole is what he is ...all on tape for everyone to see. Marked man next year.
Hey, how bout none of those as excuses. How about when Crosby waited for the Wings to finish celebrating last year to shake all their hands, but Lidstrom couldn't be bothered to wait an extra 24 seconds for Crosby and a few other players to join the handshake line. I love how people talk about how whiny Crosby is, then turn around and whine about a handshake and the Wings losing for weeks and probably months...hypocrites.
Lidstrom will have many more chances to kiss Sydney's ass after losses in the upcoming years, so don't fret it. BTW, even the Russian's after the Miracle on Ice waited while the US celebrated to form the line. Anyone who bitches about this is just that a bitch....
The Wings 'manned up' and did the right thing and followed tradition....the faggot whiney lil Crosby did what he always does..."he pussied out"...all here on video tape for everyone to see. Can't wait to next years first Wings game.
What possible reason would Crosby have not to shake his hand? Dumbass Pierre Mcquire was interviewing him and he didn't get away. Lidstrom could have waited. It's just more bullshit for Crosby haters to feed off of. But it doiesn't matter PENS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS
How does he always "pussy out" when he led the handshake line last year when the Pens lost. He sat around and WAITED for the Wings to finish celebrating before shaking each and every players and coaches hand.
Bottom Line:
Orpik and Gonchar should not have started the handshake line, they should have waited for Crosby (and other players who were left out) to be ready. The Wings could have waited like the Pens did last year.
The truth of the matter is is Lidstrom, Cleary, and Draper truly wanted to shake Crosby hand they would have waited. The hardly stood there very long. They lost couldn't handle the loss on their home ice and wanted to bolt. The Red Wings were treated far better last year by both the Penguins and the Pittsburgh fans. Not cool Detroit, not cool Wings. Come down off your pedistool once in a while.
Kermit the Frog...I mean Kris Draper was a bullshit artist making it seem like Lidstrom was out there waiting for Crosby for 5 minutes when in fact they waited 10 seconds after the last handshake to hightail it out of there...you can see who the pussies were Draper,Lidstrom,Cleary,Rafalski at least Franzen and the others showed some class by sticking around to wait for Talbot and Crosby....the others ran out like sore losers as if they havent won enough cups already. Draper is an asshole
ite metalcritic u can go fuck yourself. lidstrom obviously had a dick to go suck if he left so fucking quick. Detroit just needs to grow some balls and accept that they lost and stay on the fucken ice like the penguins did after they lost in 2008. They waited for they wings to finish celebrating; however, the wings can't wait for the pen's? fuck the red wings.
Hey jackass, the Pens started the handshake line first. The Wings just followed along. Detroit's players would've waited for a longer celebration but Pittsburgh started the line too early. ( U can here Bettman's dumbass in the background already announcing the Conn Symthe). Also, the Wilkes-Barre guys shoved Crosby toward the line and he just spun around and kept hugging everyone. Almost every Pens player made it why not their captian.
Exactly, EXACTLY, thats the stupid hypocrisy of the whole thing is that the same scenario happened last year where detroit took their sweet time with their celebration and Pens waited up for them but then the same thing happens this year with Pittsburgh and faggot red wings dont wanna wait for them then have the fucking balls to go public and whine about that shit. Fuck zetterberg and his whiny bullshit
you lindsrom fans are fucking stupid... last year the pitsburg team waited for detroit to finish celebrating before shaking hands.. and now you guys are calling crosby classlesss when linsdrom clearly went to shake hands too quick...i agree wit carlincampbelle.... who does lindsrom think he is... the celebrations over wen lindsrom says so??
This is no longer an issue so let's get past it. It has been widely accepted by many in the game that the Wings lined up quickly for the handshake whereas in the past other losers let the winning team enjoy some celebrating before the handshake. Draper was feeling beat and whining without thinking about the situation. Nonetheless, the handshake is a great tradition and I don't blame the Wings for wanting to get off the ice quickly after losing. It is not much fun losing the Cup on home ice.
Waiting and Waiting? What for 3 seconds? The real question should be why did the wings captain leave so early? And why did Draper say "Waiting and Waiting" What a joke, but I suppose we are dealing with Sid haters and wings fans after all., the biggest whiners in all of sport.
lol, keep talking shit over the internet. The main point is, Lidstrom wasn't a bitch like Crosby and actually shook hands with everyone when they won. Corsby decided to have his head up his ass while the rest of the Pens lined up for the handshakes. There is no excuse for that. Just because you have 666 in your name doesn't mean you are a tough guy. It really wouldn't surprise me if you speed bag someone's balls like your captain did.
You're the moron who came on here talking shit about how Sid being the captain should have led the line & then when I pointed out Lidstrom didn't even do it last year, you melted down. Not really surprising, since it's pretty obvious that not only are you a dumbfuck & a bigot, but also a frontrunner who doesn't know shit.
As to the 666 in my ID, where did I say that somehow makes a me "tough guy"? You're making shit up hoping to change the subject? I'm shocked!
Draper said Lidstrom was waiting and waiting? Bullshit. From the video, it looked like Lidstrom saw Crosby skating over to shake hands and Lidstrom took off. Whatever, Lidstrom was pissed that he lossed and was looking for any reason to be mad. Whatever, can't really blame anybody
aalbertothebruin i guess leading ur team 2 the finals 2 years in a row doesnt show alot of leadership and fuck hes the youngest captian to win a cup let him celebrate as long as he wants
the more i watch the handshake line the more the press should have said "Lindstrom snubs Crosby". Draper decided to leave and lindstrom and others followed. If lindstrom was so great he would have told the team to stay there like men and wait till the last Pens come through.
Oh, also, what a great argument when you bring LOOKS into the picture! Draper may be unattractive but what the hell does that have to do with hockey?? At least he can grow a full beard like a man and crybaby crosby can only sprout a couple of pubes and a trash 'stache.
crosby's such a baby. in an espn poll he was voted biggest complainer by with 52% of the votes. plus he missed part of one of the most defining games of his life because he couldn't handle a check. The only people who like him are Pittsburgh fans. I didn't see him do one amazing thing the entire serious. Completely overrated. I have no problem recognizing star players but when you get someone as conceited, stupid, and wimpy as Crosby, I can't muster up any respect.
blame crosby or the wings for handshake snub?this is an article in the detroit free press june 16.read it!!!pretty bad when your hometown paper puts the home town team in the wrong.LOL.like the article says "since when does the losing team dictate when you shake hands"....when the wings lose?yep..when they can't handle a loss on home ice in game 7...
Draper's claim to fame is being blind sided by claude lemieux.draper then had to go to the store and buy himself a new face.i love how all red heads(not only are most hideous) have this attitude.i really think it's due to them being ugly.last year during the playoffs he did a piece for versus where he merely licked sid's asshole.then he pulls this shit.he's the one with no class,and was the first to leave the line.if only claude would have knocked his head off.
Kris Draper..LOL.that piece of shit has zero class.unfortunately he has been on some good teams.thats the only reason he has 4 rings.he's not this great player,and his salary justifies that.he's such a sore loser he couldn't wait 45 more seconds.i'm sure those 45 seconds were going to make a huge difference to his plans.he's the asshole who started all of this,bc he can't stand the fact that his GREAT MIGHTY WINGS SHIT THE BED...
people need to stop hating on sid. he wasnt the only one late. and look at last years final. the pens waited at their bench until the wings were done celebrating. but this year detroit jumped the gun and tried to rush their celebration. then shoot off into their dressing room. nice show of bad sportmanship guys. way to be sore losers. the players should be embarressed and any fans who support what they did should be too.
yeah draper really waited there....forever...i almost fell asleap. What about the fact that more than half of the detriot players were there to shake crosby's hand and their captain was in the locker room
how much longer could crosby have taken, lidstrom waited for him, but crosby was too busy celebrating...but i dont blame crosby he was just caught up in the moment...but he shouldnt have taken so long so get there....lidstrom left at 1:10 of the vid and crosby showed up at 1:40...only 2 red wings were left...not lids fault
We don;t even need to get into the fact that the Pens waited a full minute longer before even trying to even start the handshake line last year after the game was over.
if you want to see what happened big guy....go to the pgh post-gazette.sports then click empty netters blog.find the youtube vids.click on the 1 thats around 10min long.they are nbc feeds with mike lange doing radio broadcasts.you will see for yourself what happened.then tell me who was wrong.i guarantee it wasn't crosby..don't talk shit until you know the facts.
Alright, Im a Wings fan and even I think everyone is blowing this so far outta proportion! Like fuck guys, RELAX!!! Get off Crosby's dick and analyize the fuckin game!
The Red Wings are actually the ones who snubbed Crosby.
Watch the video.
There is a steady flow of Penguins and coaches right up to about 1:07 of the video and then after a break of about 6seconds Draper and Linstrom start leaving. Less than 20 seconds later Crosby is in the area where they were.
I preditct Penguins v. Blackhawks in 2010 Stanley Cup.
Caps lost players and Varlamov will have to play his first full season. Bruins goalies are getting older. Flyers don't have elite goaltending(i do like biron), the other Eastern teams are too far behind.
Detroit will lose a decent amount of experience with free agency and age. Sharks...well.. Canucks lose in free agency. And finally Chicago, youthful, gaining experience, good goalie, will be back & better next year and make a run.
Sens are clearly takin it in the East now that we have a goalie and a good coach. you just watch, they had two off seasons but the pieces are finally coming together. As sad as it is the Sens are one of the most playoff experienced teams in the East
LOL. Stupid Draper.
Crosby is a mawfucken Champ!
He's won pretty much every major award in his career.
"Veterans" have no room to talk shit about class.
Show class and be patient. The Champ is cellying.

notice how kris draper was the one that bitched the most about crosby not shaking hands, but notice how he was the first one to leave the handshake line...
SuperHenderson13 10 months ago
Here's the thing Captains don't always lead the handshake lines (we saw that last year with Jonathan Toews) usually a guy from the 4th line or a D man will just randomly start the Handshake line and anyone around will jump right into the line. However even though Toews never lead the line; he was like the 3rd or 4th person which is more than ok, Crosby on the other hand didn't even show up until the arena started booing...if that's not disrespect than I don't know what is...

Crosby is a great talent.
Crosby won a cup.
Crosby will never ever have a legacy.
Ever.
He's just a kid who is a good hockey player.
But not a Man.
20 cups won't change that.
There's players who have never won a Cup, that'll be remembered way more than Crosby ever will be.
Luckily, the fluke was the fluke. Crosby played golf during the stanley cup playoffs of 2010

I'm not a Crosby hater or anything like that. On the contrary, I think he's very talented. However, I can't deny a sense of disappointment when he didn't lead his team in the handshake. Of course he's overcome with a distraction of joy, he won the Stanley Cup! But, the handshake is a ritual; represents sportsmanship. You gotta say "good game" to the other players. After all they were contenders too. Bad mistake on Sid's part.

lol does draper really think he's good enough to shake lord sideous's hand? sorry b*tch, the cros was too busy with the stanley cup. stupid b*tch chris draper could wait in line like the rest of the fans :-D
pandala420 2 years ago
@pandala420 I'm pretty sure Draper has three more cups and 10 times the class, actually. the point is that as a leader he failed quite exceedingly. I guarantee a real captain like lidstrom, lecavalier, drury, etc would never have done that, no matter how thrilled they were. and i'd include ovi on that list, too, though i like him about as much as "the cros"

he respects the game more than 80% of the guys in the nhl..the kid lives at the rink.the losing team NEVER starts the handshakes.however,here they think they have too bc they can't deal with the fact that they didn't show up for 2.5 periods in a game 7.yes they sat on their asses after they lost.however,did they want to hurry up and get off the ice?no.they let the wings celebrate and when det was ready to shake they did.that was merely a soak it up bc we don't want to have this feeling again
bern1417 2 years ago
well he lives at the rink eh? HOW THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HAVING RESPECT!!???? crosby has terrible rep in the NHL. NO QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. wings diddent hurry the penguins up to get off the ice are you kidding me, after the hand shake they were waiting for crosby and he never came so they just left. wen the pens loose the cup crosby is first in line, when they win he is no where to be seen.
redwingsman4093 2 years ago
ya his bad rep comes from being a baby his first 2 yrs in the league.the fuck they didn't hurry the pens up.watch the other vids of the handshake and it's abundently clear.they (lids,draper and a few others) waited for 10 secs.franzen and a few started for the dressing room and then stopped when he came over.bottomline the nobody(draper)who got traded for a fucking $1 made a big deal about nothing.let the winners do their thing and deal with it!!!
bern1417 2 years ago
buddy you dont know what the hell you are talking about. first of all crosbys first 2 years were his only good ones!!!! he turned into a self hearted prick after his 2nd year and it was a smart move to get draps for a buck. all it proovs is that ken holland are GM is a hell lot better than yours. we have won 4 cups in the last 11 years without draft pics. you guys got crosby and malkin cuz you sucked. we have gon all the way without draft picts cuz we have always been good unlike someone
redwingsman4093 2 years ago
huh?first of all you forgot fleury and staal with our draft picks.secondly as you will find out you need some draft picks bc well the day of the wings are over.holland is better than shero?funny.3 years as a gm and 2 trips to the finals thats not bad.slide over bc your about to see back to back champs and 4 in 8 years :)
bern1417 2 years ago 2
and yes i do know what i'm talking about.he was a complete brat his first two years in the league.his only good ones?try this year is is best year to date.heartless?lets see he deferred money to not only sign malkin but to sign fleury as well.thats hardly being self centered dude.if was selfish he would have played in the third period even though he couldnt cut on his skates.he's more of a team player then he gets credit for.i would say maybe get the nhl network and watch some pens games.
bern1417 2 years ago 2
oh he deferred momey to his own team thats cute. does he also brush flury's teeth and tuck him in at night? and i dont mean best year by points i mean best year by attitude! he is all show like the capitals.
redwingsman4093 2 years ago
well dude you evidently know very little about hockey outside of detroit.crosby's worst years attitude wise were his first two years...and that is a FACT!!and yes he deferred money so his team could be successful.a thing many players wouldn't do at the age of 30 let alone at 22.that proving he isn't all show like some in the dc area.i don't see zetts or lidstrom or the russian taking less do you?

The original critique still stands...Crosby is a classless pussy and its now all on video tape.

The NHL players voted him the biggest crybaby in the League,(look it up) explain that one ...you bitchs from Pitt .
morningman33 2 years ago
Yeah, no class, watch his interviews and all the media scrums. He's the most classy guy in the NHL since Mario Lemieux. It's funny that he not shaking Lidstrom's hand is a faggoty whiney behavior that everyone hates. You're just mad your team didn't win.

morningman33 2 years ago
I'm proud that he's the best player in the NHL right now. I'm proud that he scores at least a 100 points per season. He's a great leader who only 'whines' to try to get his team to win. Isn't that the main goal of hockey, to win. You dumb people who think he is a pussy are fucking insane. Watch how physical he plays, he doesn't back down from any player, unless it's unnecessary, like if the Pens are up by 1 or 2. He's full throttle every shift, and plays with tthe heart of a lion.

Lol, silly bandwagon Caps fan, just joined in June to complain about the Pens winning the cup.
And if the series was fixed, they why did the Wings have nearly double the powerplays that the Pens did. Seems like an odd way to fix a series don't ya think? Or maybe Bettman was sitting in his little chair, rubbing his hands together, going "I'm going to make this a cliffhanger fix this year!" Then he told Franzen (or Zetterberg, forget) to hit the post late in the third in game 7, just for drama.
Sinsemilla4u 2 years ago 3
haha funny pens fans... and it wasnt the series that was fixed it was everything up to that. i hate the flyers but even i think that was rigged and same with the caps series. it was like game six tied in the 3rd with 2 minutes to go and the caps get called on a slash that wasnt even a slash.... wtf was that
8CapsFan4Life8 2 years ago
Lol, you're pathetic...go watch soccer or WWE or something if you think anything was rigged. The NHL doesn't need anymore whiny know-nothing fans like you.
I'm sure when the Caps win, everything is fine and dandy, but god forbid they lose...then it's fixed! Pathetic.
And the Flyers series was anything but rigged. I'd bet money that you didn't even watch a whole game of that series though.
Sinsemilla4u 2 years ago 3

i'm so tired of all you pens fans. You all were getting ready to throw in the towel facing Detroit after they won the first 2 games. now everyone talks like they knew they were ganna win the whole time. all pens fans are arrogant stupid faggets. if anything the NHL doesnt need a Cindy Crosby. hes a whiner who dives and make the game look like a joke
8CapsFan4Life8 2 years ago
Sure, whatever you say.
And don't worry, we're all tired of all you Flyers, Caps and Wings fans whining their faces off like little 2 year olds. Kind of funny and ironic though when they all complain about Crosby whining, then turn around and whine about Crosby winning the Cup.
Anyway, best of luck to you with that bitching thing you all are doing, hope it helps you sleep better at night, cause it's sure not going to change the outcome of the playoffs.

lol quit repeating something you read on youtube or other forums run by Flyers/Caps/Wings fans. Ur just ultimitley insulting the refs whos job it is to notice 'dives' as the bitter fans love to say.

they don't like it, he don't like it, she don't like it, those people don't like it. TOUGH SHIT. deal with it. I hope all you caps fans continue to dislike him for the rest of his playing career.

bern1417 2 years ago
He's not a good captain. During the first like 50 games of the season the Pens were HORRIBLE! Sid did not elevate his game and make his play and teammates better. Some trades at the deadline and a new coach turned the pens around.

Okay, I live in Pitt dumbass, that's one wrong, and I'm not a bandwagoner, that's two wrong. Yeah, they have sucked almost this whole decade, but they didn't have the supporting cast. back in the 90s they had a ridiculously good team. 2 back cups in 2 years, a presidents trophy, mario and jags scoring titles. Now, we got sid and geno scoring titles, consistent goalie, an alright defense, and have made the playoffs 3 straight years in the top 5 in the conference each year.
PenFan444 2 years ago
Im assuming the 1992 is the year you were born so that means you have no concept of what really happened in the 90's. You were still making a mess of your diapers. Pitts owned the league in the 90's kid and truth be told they were really only a garbage team for 4 years in the early 2000's. So that is far from always. Anyways it dont matter what you say they are the team that won this year and are the team to beat next. Your babbling bullshit has zero impact on anything!

How does he always "pussy out" when he led the handshake line last year when the Pens lost. He sat around and WAITED for the Wings to finish celebrating before shaking each and every players and coaches hand.

Orpik and Gonchar should not have started the handshake line, they should have waited for Crosby (and other players who were left out) to be ready. The Wings could have waited like the Pens did last year.
Sinsemilla4u 2 years ago
The truth of the matter is is Lidstrom, Cleary, and Draper truly wanted to shake Crosby hand they would have waited. The hardly stood there very long. They lost couldn't handle the loss on their home ice and wanted to bolt. The Red Wings were treated far better last year by both the Penguins and the Pittsburgh fans. Not cool Detroit, not cool Wings. Come down off your pedistool once in a while.

Hey jackass, the Pens started the handshake line first. The Wings just followed along. Detroit's players would've waited for a longer celebration but Pittsburgh started the line too early. ( U can here Bettman's dumbass in the background already announcing the Conn Symthe). Also, the Wilkes-Barre guys shoved Crosby toward the line and he just spun around and kept hugging everyone. Almost every Pens player made it why not their captian.

dragonballzforever 2 years ago
This is no longer an issue so let's get past it. It has been widely accepted by many in the game that the Wings lined up quickly for the handshake whereas in the past other losers let the winning team enjoy some celebrating before the handshake. Draper was feeling beat and whining without thinking about the situation. Nonetheless, the handshake is a great tradition and I don't blame the Wings for wanting to get off the ice quickly after losing. It is not much fun losing the Cup on home ice.

lol, keep talking shit over the internet. The main point is, Lidstrom wasn't a bitch like Crosby and actually shook hands with everyone when they won. Corsby decided to have his head up his ass while the rest of the Pens lined up for the handshakes. There is no excuse for that. Just because you have 666 in your name doesn't mean you are a tough guy. It really wouldn't surprise me if you speed bag someone's balls like your captain did.

crosby's such a baby. in an espn poll he was voted biggest complainer by with 52% of the votes. plus he missed part of one of the most defining games of his life because he couldn't handle a check. The only people who like him are Pittsburgh fans. I didn't see him do one amazing thing the entire serious. Completely overrated. I have no problem recognizing star players but when you get someone as conceited, stupid, and wimpy as Crosby, I can't muster up any respect.

blame crosby or the wings for handshake snub?this is an article in the detroit free press june 16.read it!!!pretty bad when your hometown paper puts the home town team in the wrong.LOL.like the article says "since when does the losing team dictate when you shake hands"....when the wings lose?yep..when they can't handle a loss on home ice in game 7...

Draper's claim to fame is being blind sided by claude lemieux.draper then had to go to the store and buy himself a new face.i love how all red heads(not only are most hideous) have this attitude.i really think it's due to them being ugly.last year during the playoffs he did a piece for versus where he merely licked sid's asshole.then he pulls this shit.he's the one with no class,and was the first to leave the line.if only claude would have knocked his head off.

Kris Draper..LOL.that piece of shit has zero class.unfortunately he has been on some good teams.thats the only reason he has 4 rings.he's not this great player,and his salary justifies that.he's such a sore loser he couldn't wait 45 more seconds.i'm sure those 45 seconds were going to make a huge difference to his plans.he's the asshole who started all of this,bc he can't stand the fact that his GREAT MIGHTY WINGS SHIT THE BED...

people need to stop hating on sid. he wasnt the only one late. and look at last years final. the pens waited at their bench until the wings were done celebrating. but this year detroit jumped the gun and tried to rush their celebration. then shoot off into their dressing room. nice show of bad sportmanship guys. way to be sore losers. the players should be embarressed and any fans who support what they did should be too.

yeah draper really waited there....forever...i almost fell asleap. What about the fact that more than half of the detriot players were there to shake crosby's hand and their captain was in the locker room

If I were a Pens fan, I'd be embarrassed of Crosby's "class"

If I were a Wings fan, I'd be more embarrassed by my fellow Wings fans' "class" by them cheering when Crosby was injured by Franzen's hit.

What the heck was Orpic thinking??? (And Gonchar and the other clowns who followed him) They CREATED the Crosby snub. Why would they do that?

how much longer could crosby have taken, lidstrom waited for him, but crosby was too busy celebrating...but i dont blame crosby he was just caught up in the moment...but he shouldnt have taken so long so get there....lidstrom left at 1:10 of the vid and crosby showed up at 1:40...only 2 red wings were left...not lids fault
LEAFS543210 2 years ago
Yeah, that 30 seconds was huge. [/sarcasm]
We don;t even need to get into the fact that the Pens waited a full minute longer before even trying to even start the handshake line last year after the game was over.

Alright, Im a Wings fan and even I think everyone is blowing this so far outta proportion! Like fuck guys, RELAX!!! Get off Crosby's dick and analyize the fuckin game!
gottareptdot09 2 years ago
The Red Wings are actually the ones who snubbed Crosby.
Watch the video.
There is a steady flow of Penguins and coaches right up to about 1:07 of the video and then after a break of about 6seconds Draper and Linstrom start leaving. Less than 20 seconds later Crosby is in the area where they were.
THEY were the "snubbers".

I preditct Penguins v. Blackhawks in 2010 Stanley Cup.
Caps lost players and Varlamov will have to play his first full season. Bruins goalies are getting older. Flyers don't have elite goaltending(i do like biron), the other Eastern teams are too far behind.
Detroit will lose a decent amount of experience with free agency and age. Sharks...well.. Canucks lose in free agency. And finally Chicago, youthful, gaining experience, good goalie, will be back & better next year and make a run.

Sens are clearly takin it in the East now that we have a goalie and a good coach. you just watch, they had two off seasons but the pieces are finally coming together. As sad as it is the Sens are one of the most playoff experienced teams in the East
