Crosby dodges Ovechkin and embellishes (dives)

[PittsburghMick]

The title should be "overrated dirty ovechkin once again lands a knee on knee hit."

[liamsmedd]

his skate got caught on the boards dumb ass

[avlad94]

i used to dodge ovichkin like this but than i took an arrow in a knee

[gandhiswrath]

he is on skates, and moving fast. A bump in the leg and hitting the boards will bring you down. p.s. Fuck Crosby

[isamtheman87]

why is it that whenever crosby gets hit and goes down everyone's like " HE DOVE! DID YOU SEE THAT CINDY CROSBY DOVE." I mean really. I bet you've fallen down a million times more than Sid.. "Oh and next time you get a concussion playing outside at Heinz Field Against the Capitals, then 5 days later get hit hard to the head again worsening it then leaving for 10 and a half months then comeback score 2 goals and 2 assists. let me know

[Walkwithstrings]

I hate crosby and no maybe it wasnt a hard hit. But he might of got tripped up when the feet colided. You cant always assume that someone dives just cus they dont get pounded. (maybe i didnt spell everything right, im tired of people telling me that I can't spell.) Also Im not saying crosby didn't dive or go down easy im just saying dont jump to a conclusion right away

[Sundin456]

Wow he falls even from that. I wonder what would have happened if Ovi hit him fully.

[martin71064]

I agree with much of have being said. And in a way you could say that the truth would not have to repeat it sealf in endless comments. Yet I think that there may be some innocent child out there that needs those words that we grown up do not need. Peter Forsberg is the best player the world ever saw and ever will see.

[WickedEarthlings]

dude if you play hockey, youd understand that skating at their speed a slight leg trip can have you off your feet in no time

[LOKISlog7]

Any time Sid falls; the WHINING about diving starts.

Really; Its getting OLD,TIRED, and LAME....... You would think that flyers,craps, wings and hab fans could come up with something new.

But then again; who gives a rats ass to what they think!

SIDNEY CROSBY: STANLEY CUP CHAMPION, OLYMPIC HERO, CANADIAN HOCKEY LEGEND, BEST PLAYER IN THE NHL, FACE OF THE NHL- Nothing they cry and whine about WILL EVER CHANGE THAT FACT

[eliran28]

@LOKISlog7 yeah but that doesn't change the fact that he does dive.  I'm a proud canadian and everything, love his skill but man his diving is just disgusting me

[childhoodobesity69]

are you stupid... look at his foot

[babaloose13]

dive

[AeonXero]

Same many haters on Crosby. What's the matter? jealous?

[BIackDream]

Not really Ovie's fault if Crosby moves into his knee is it?

Yet another excuse to continue the Ovechkin hate...dumb people are dumb.

[whitespot54]

ovi with yet another knee on knee im surprised he didnt injure himself again

[tpcello]

Thats not a dive

[m420carbine4]

i love how ovi just runs at him it's #1 vs. #1

[BrindleChase]

There was no dive there. Just Crosby dodging Ovechkin's attempt at another knee to knee hit. He lost his balance from the trip and came right back up without complaint. Crosby can act, but this wasn't one of those times. And its not like Ovie doesn't dive too. A lot of stars do it, because the refs are looking for them to be targeted and its an easy way to get a powerplay. Not the honorable way, but its common on every team.

[Gametosh]

Uhm? Ovechkin got a piece of his leg.

[24Maxime24]

HAHAHAHA Crosby is the Justin Bieber of hockey!

[templetonbob]

Clean hit, no dive. People love to make something out of nothing

[NumbuhoftheBeastBurg]

crosby could be the only one on the ice, falls down, and dumbass hockey fans would still say hes diving,

[juzu4me]

LOL, Crosby haters are so desperate to knock him down that they post videos of their own flabby hero ovechkin tripping him-and they think we are blind and can't see? LOL too funny.

[The515th]

Ovi hits him knee to knee, and crosby falls... Ohhhh yeah, definitely a dive right there.

[originalstatus13]

@The515th that wasn't knee on knee...

[TheePEGG]

@originalstatus13 Ovi's right knee clearly hit Crosby's right knee causing him to fall

[originalstatus13]

@TheePEGG nice excuse

[phreddy87]

u can tell he gets tripped up by ovechkins leg, but then also embellishes a little to make it look a little worse. both sides of this discussion are right

[akajambas]

@phreddy87 WHAT?!?! Are you suggesting that both sides should be viewed equally!?!!! That's FAR too advanced for ANY youtube discussion lol

[oscob]

i dont get the whole "crosby dives" thing. can understand the hate towards him the first few seasons when he cried to shit about refs.  but honestly, if you arnt diving, you arnt trying.

if you're not a smart enough player to take a fall when a player gets a stick around your skate, or tuck your arm when you feel a stick on your side, you dont belong in the nhl. with as much extra attention as star players get from the other team, of course they're going to try to buy penalties.

[Puck0520]

"Crosby dodges Ovechkin and embellishes (dives) " your a fucking joke.

[WOWZZZZZZZZAS]

i don't know how you can embellish a trip... but OKAY

[jbreezy0420]

crosby is a bitch

[cooldudeslim]

that wasn't a dive and ovi kinda tripped him u can see skate to skate

[Enten901]

not a dive.

[bnkes]

Regardless of Crosby diving or not, he is still the best player in the league today, hands down. I hate the diving, but he's still the greatest of the modern era.

[wannabeserpento99]

@bnkes nope

[fiveonenine68]

@NkuNorse12 So concussion recovery time is how we're defining who the best player is now? Never mind that Crosby was leading the league in points at the time or anything...

This isn't 50 years ago. They take concussions a lot more seriously these days, now that the full effects are better known. He also played the game after the hit, until he had symptoms.

Debate all you want on skill, but an injury has nothing to do with it.

[cibobary8766]

@NkuNorse12 you're a fucking idiot. Jim McMahon had concussions like Crosby when he played football and because of the medical evaluations back then he now has brain damage and dementia. and anyone that thinks this is a dive is also a moron. You can clearly see ovechkin's right skate tripping up crosby's right skate, not saying it was intentional but there's certainly enough evidence here to show that its not a dive.

[kdfsjljklgjfg]

@NkuNorse12 Yeah...I love bashing Crosby as much as the next guy who hates blind, ignorant Pens fans, but your point makes absolutely no sense.

[Ry2416]

He dove to have an opportunity to move the puck, his goal was to reach the puck not draw a penalty this is dumb

[n0ts0smarty]

honestly that would've been a lot more impressive if he'd managed to stay on his skates

course he also would've broken his leg probably but hey

[juxtapose519]

I'm no Crosby fan, but that was not a dive.

[Sk3L370R]

That was a missed tripping call. Crosby never dived.  Ovechkin was going for a hit but probably shouldn't have reached that far for it. Questionable call at that.

[Lancerandduck7]

Ovechkin should have got a penalty for sticking out his foot like that. That's really dangerous. No dive.

[jimmytango7]

he toe-picked his left skate with his right leg up in the air, no dive. for the record, i'm a Wings fan.

[SK3rboF11]

It's not a dive he had no way of catching himself ad he wasn't looking for a call so who cares?

[ChewZingz]

are you fucked ? you probly dont relize, but hes actually going about 30mph there and he gets hit into the boards, theres no way when all your momentum is going one way and you get knocked the other way into a fucking wall that your going to stay up.

[danthecapsfan]

That wasn't a dive.

[CookieMonster082171]

People, watch the skate. It`s not like the skate goes through people, crosby got tripped, honestly. I don`t care who you like more, it`s obvious.

[TheHockeyKid811]

I AM 100% SURE THAT OVECHKIN'S LIFE LONG DREAM IS TO LAT OUT CROSBY

[lemonpop4u]

i hate crosby, but he just lost his balance, he had the puck and getting put onto the ice with the puck doesnt draw a penalty, but keep on hating

[jw12yrsctch]

@lemonpop4u you just said you hate Crosby, then back him up with nonsense( people don't get airborn when they trip, gravity is weird like that), then you say keep on hating. You are hating on the people here and clearly stated you hate Crosby. Hypocrite much?

[thunderhockey3]

@lemonpop4u uh? no look closely..ovechkin hit him knee on knee

[MrVincenttwo]

@lemonpop4u I don't hate any hockey player, they play the sport that I and many more love. I just hate the way they act sometimes. Sidney Crosby is one of the best players at the moment and you cannot take that away from him, even though he dives alot and is as much of a pussy as Gretzky was. Hes still a great player

[jplant1414]

It wasn't the check that made him "fly". After the first push, Ovi gets the stick down inside the knee of his back leg and gives it a bit of a pitchfork. THAT'S what causes the so-called embellishment. No dive here. Sorry, haters.

[jw12yrsctch]

@jplant1414 amazing since his stick was in the air, try taking off your blinders and look at the play through a hockey fan's eyes.....that invisible stick seems to get Crosby lots

[fleafan100]

i hate crosby but you can clearly tell that crosby gets tangled with ovi and he didnt dive ( surprisingly)

[As3sinoL0C0]

no doubt he got tripped up and should have fell. but he does take a little push off to go further in the air with his left leg

[connorussell]

dive

[holobackfoo]

I don't have much respect for Crosby but half of the videos on youtube of his "dives" are just him losing his footing or avoiding dying... I'm not saying he doesn't dive but people think every time he falls it's a dive

[MrTehnoobshowfan]

WOOWWW YOU GUYS! you seriously need to learn what a dive is. 90% of these "

"Crosby Dives" videos arent even dives. get a life and become bruins fans if he bugs u that much. or at least stop cheering for washinton haha cause they suck too :(

[yeti60]

Yeah this isn't a dive.

[conservativeco]

Of course that's a dive, you bandwagon fans.

[jaypens92]

#youmightberetardedif you think that's a dive

[Flyersfan6815]

no thats a check, ive seen crosby dive plenty of times and that wasn't a dive

[chickaberga2]

every time Crosby falls or gets tripped, everybody says its a dive

[XxBLD0wNeDxX]

Thats Not a dive retard



[ghuntington79]

Whatever,that's a knee on knee, 2 minutes. I love how everyone is back on the Ovechkin bandwagon b/c Crosby is out. Pretty sad, people.

[canuck4life12]

Crosby is the biggest diver ever but I started crying watching this clip you have to be an idiot to call that a dive.

[smeltshack1]

Who the hell can balance on one foot leaning forward at a 90 degree angle on skates. If someone can than I'll shut up!

[lekalannakki]

he reached for the puck to get it passed for his teammate...come on

[Hatchwork]

His left foot also hit the sideboards which could've tripped him up as well.

[kosta1605]

um i maybe really stoned right now haha but it does look like crosbys skate hits the boards? and hes on one foot? and still trying to make something happen? im not a fan of crosby but every time i see this crap of ovi and crosby it makes me laugh

[redslash40]

I like that ref sitting on the boards at the end.

[rpovlik]

not a dive... he was reaching for the puck... anyone who says this is a dive.... you obviously know nothing about playing hockey

[xXDeityXx]

I like how people are saying that this was a dive. Funny, I dislike Crosby too and I usually wouldn't defend him but, that's not a dive. Crosby tried to avoid Ovechkin and got caught by his knee doing so. Secondly, Crosby only lift off from his left leg just so he can reach the puck. If you "know" I am wrong, then that's one hell of a poor dive Crosby made, and shame on him to make such a shitty attempt to dive like this! HE CAN DIVE SO MUCH BETTER DAMN IT! (He actually could lol)

[AEMoreira81]

Crosby simply lost his edge trying to reach the puck.

[thomas3816]

ovi was going for the knee on knee hit..watch crosby's legs..ovi is such a dirty player

[MrWeedGood]

that was a dive u dont go from head first to ur feet infront of u like that wow crosby what a bitch

[rpovlik]

@MrWeedGood your such a fuckin retard... ovi clipped sids leg which threw it behind him and the only reason sid fell was because he was reaching for the puck to pass it... wow your a fuckin idiot. go watch basketball cuz u have know idea whats going on here... fuckin moron

[attackrac]

For the people who are saying he jumps at 10 seconds...what you are failing to see is the reason he jumps...He's trying to play the puck and keep Brooks Laich(21) from getting the puck. You all fail at analyzing supposed Crosby dive videos..

[nurple12]

can someone direct me to an some actual crosby dive videos. im trying to make a compilation but i just want to include ones that are legit

[tadamichi123]

dive

[likespaintball]

Watch crosby left foot at 10 seconds, he jumps and its clear as day light.

[rpovlik]

@likespaintball yea he was trying to reach the puck u fuckin idiot

[razorslice17]

Wasn't a dive. It was another one of Ovechkin's filthy slew foots.

[likespaintball]

@razorslice17 look at crosbys left foot at ten seconds, he jumps.lol. Look at the dive he does in game 4 against detroit wich is possibly the WORST DIVE EVER.

[hockeyhound77]

@likespaintball watch it again... he rocks forward and his body doesn't get any higher, just his leg elevates... thats a fall... good try tho... hater

[ggqbc]

9/10 on the dive it was just a lil over the top! if he played dead like he did with steve downie it would have been a 10/10

[jimmytango7]

i can't stand crosby, but that isn't a dive.

[snoopyflick]

I didn't know hockey players were expected to be able to stand on one leg moving very fast, and be hit into the boards with that leg being on the inside, and maintain balance and possession of the puck.

I guess that's why you see Crosby bitching to the ref immediately afterwords too.

What a bunch a pussies whining about how their Crosby dives. If it's so bad why don't the refs call it, on him ever.

[dublinfool25]

with all the crosby dives on film and posted on youtube..youd think the crosby lovers would just admit that he does it. sure, ovi gets a foot in there, but not enuff for cindy to become superman.

[Pittpens1fan]

what a bitch pussy

[KingKonk95]

I can tell the person who uploaded this video is a caps fan trying to convince himself Crosby sucks because it hurts him inside to realise Pittsburgh are better than caps! It's clear ovechkin tripped him anyone who thinks otherwise is extremely dumb. Although pens fans, we cannot brag too much about our win the other day? It was a shootout and we only clinched the win, not battered them like we will next week -3

[gambier82]

The guy was trying to play the puck as he was falling.

[oM0dzOo]

theres no way crosby or ne player would be able to throw themselves against the bored in mid air like that if he didnt get hit or nething and plus they were going fast

[zacandashleys1fan]

I'm surprised no penalty was called. I figured this must've been before the NHL started their new ad campaign for Crosby "GOD- but better looking."

They sure as hell treat the pussy that way.

[redshammroc19]

u can c ovis foot hit crosbys...

[87beats8]

That's not a dive they were both going fast and he got right back up after. He would of done something else if he was trying to draw a penalty.

[MrShricky1071]

@87beats8 your the only cool person here lol

[liamliamliam8]

@87beats8 are you blind? you can clearly see him try to do a frontflip

[liamliamliam8]

@87beats8 are you blind? you can clearly see him try to do a frontflip

[jimih64]

@87beats8 Hahahahaha you moron. Look at how he launches off his left foot; that's a blatant dive.

[isamtheman87]

@87beats8 thats exactly what i said on Crosby Dives and Yapps At Zetterberg... hey great minds think alike!

[Tbladez56]

He didnt have to put a yardsign on it. Sure he tripped him but did his legs really end up over his head. Shoulda called a dive too.

[rareflorence]

he pushed off his feet so he could try to get to the puck, therefore his feet went up a bit. no dive here

[crush575]

how was that a dive? his right foot got taken out and then his left skate hit the boards. and he didnt pretend he was hurt or anything, he got right back up and kept playing.

[DsturbedFan728]

crosby should join ovie in olympic diving next olympics

[78iceicebaby]

That's not a dive. He was tripped. If you played hockey you'd also understand that that's how you avoid a knee injury.

[Shamaizing]

@78iceicebaby

by diving?

[yeti60]

This video is meaningless. Who cares?

[Unkownperson1313]

i dont care for neither of them but yea he didnt dive at all just a fall down thats all

[UboobSuks]

contact was made...but are you gonna tell me that sid cant recover from that...watch the second leg during the replay...

[chimrichalds18]

Only reason there's knee contact is because Crosby swerves. You can see that he throws his feet off the ice at the tailend of the hit. Guy's the best player in the world, he doesn't need to dive.

[RAxBrayden]

@chimrichalds18

I can name about 30 people better than Crosby.

[KashiwaDaisuke]

@RAxBrayden Hahahaha, I'd like to see you name five. I'll try not to laugh.

[atranos]

that's a terrible missed call on the knee job.

[chauddhryman]

anyone who says that wasn't a dives needs to look closely at crosby's skate remaining on the ice after oveckhin gets a piece of him, make the call urself its fairly obvious. I find it impossible to believe that a guy like Crosby who is so strong on his skates would go down that easily.

[DanGuitar9]

that was not even close to a dive it was knee by ovechkin and should have been a penalty

[cozzy3002]

not particularly dirty or a dive. it looked like he was losing his balance and was extending to play the puck and fell down. not a dive this time.

[cRichard91]

I love when he says" Crosby decked by Ovechkin.. agian." hahaha fuck you Crosby.

[ejl74]

crysby was in mid air befor he was even touched

[Reflex318]

i dont like crosby but he didnt dive.

[omgitsoj]

That isn't even close to a dive; there's no way he could have done that on his own. Ye cannae the laws of physics.

[metallicax10]

if uv ever played hockey u kno that i can lose ur edge pretty easily. so no id say it wasnt a dive when u watch his blade contact with the ice. but ovie's still my fav

[italkart24racer]

Ovie and knee checks?! no way! :P

[fitzy845]

huge dive!

[ovisucks87]

@fitzy845 if u think that was a dive u must have never been on ice b4 and besides its just another one of ovis stupid attempts at a knee to knee

[commander1241]

youre a idiot that was not a dive smart ass

[JeffblinkHardy]

It was a low hit and then it looked like Crosby skate went into the board. Which, in turn, would make him fall. Open your eyes fags.

[kiimburliie]

I love 'em both, but, I think it might have been both, being tripped but followed through with a dive

[MrShricky1071]

you stupid dumbass he was tripped... i love crosby haters.. there all so jealous

[Shamaizing]

@MrShricky1071

Tripped....really.... your feet do not gain backwards momentum you fucking retard its elementry physics.....

[MrShricky1071]

@Shamaizing when your feet are taking out from under you its called a trip buddy... dont try and lecture me on "elementary physics"

[jmm1021]

@MrShricky1071 The initial contact would have caused a trip, maybe. Crosby put a little extra effort to making sure he fell over like that and you can tell

[MrShricky1071]

@jmm1021 yeah i agree.. but what everyone doesnt understand that is its sids job to try and draw a penalty.. anytime he sees the opportunity hes gonna take it.. anyone else (including ovechkin) would have done the same thing

[phxfirebird22]

@MrShricky1071 yeah im so jealous of a diver crybaby that is playing in one of the toughest sports in the league, but is not tough himself.

[MrShricky1071]

@phxfirebird22 yeah buddy you are jealous ! who cares if he's not one of the toughest in the game ! hes a playmaker ! not a grinder or power forward ! trust me if you had the current nhl leader in goals, a former hart and art ross winner and defending rocket richard trophy winner AND stanley cup champion sidney crosby on your team you would LOVE it ! sid is here to stay buddy get used to it ! and dont even say hes not popular bcuz oh yeah ! he also leaders all all-star voting too !

[phxfirebird22]

@MrShricky1071 yeah hes by far one of the weakest in the nhl, he has cried multiple times, and to also mention he dives and complains about celebrations. too bad ovechkin is a playmaker, grinder, powerforward, dangler, sniper, tough guy, etc. he is an asset at any given time, and having semin, backstrom, and green around him not only makes himself dangerous, but the caps as well. i wouldnt mind having crosby on my team, but id take ovechkin over him anyday. i never said crosby isnt popular?

[MrShricky1071]

@phxfirebird22 oh bullshit.. ovie can only shoot and you know it ! sid does it all ! he shoots, he scores, he passes, and he makes plays ! and sid is weak ? hes only 5'10 180 ! you expect him he be like chara !? even at his height he still fights and is in scrums.. and hes the captain of his team ! hes suppose to help his team anyway he can, whether he embellishes a trip or argues a call.. ovies also the captain of his team ! he does the same thing !

[phxfirebird22]

@MrShricky1071 he can only shoot? considering he leads his team in hits every year, has danced around the whole entire opposing team, and also, he is tied with Crosby in assists this year, so shut up you obviously have little hockey knowledge and if you opened your eyes you would realize that Ovi is more of a complete player than Crosby, whos obviously not the smallest in the NHL(St. Louis, who doesnt complain). Ovi does sets the tone by scoring, setting up plays, and hitting, not diving.

[MrShricky1071]

@phxfirebird22 haha you like crosbys hat trick tonight you little fag ?? i loved it

[phxfirebird22]

@MrShricky1071 ya i loved it, i also love how the Washington Capitals are at the top of the league, way higher than Pittsburgh.I cant wait for the winter classic you clueless asshole

[MrShricky1071]

@phxfirebird22 way higher than pittsburgh ??? c'mon buddy you think two points behind is alot ? lol the penguins have 36 points and the caps have 38 lol thats a lot to you ? and can you tell me who's on the 8 game winning streak ? and can you tell me who leads the nhl in goals, points, and all-star votes ?? lol

[mrchady]

@phxfirebird22 -Yeah I love how Pittsburgh is now 3 points ahead of Washington you dumb fuck, I cant wait till Pitts beats Washington before the Winter Classic you asshole :)

[IrishHeroMan]

@MrShricky1071 I would never be jealous of Crosby. He was voted the biggest whiner by the other NHL players. How embarrassing.

[87beats8]

@IrishHeroMan That's because he's the best player in the world along with Stamkos and other players are jealous.

[hockeyowner1]

i hate crosby

[a1exandearth]

i can't wait for hockey season to start again

[juzu4me]

Opussykin's foul Russian breath knocked him down

[iTokeGanja]

ITS A FUCKING KNEE CHECK!

If your leg goes out you aren't going to defy gravity unless your god.

[lafontaine111]

that was not a dive ovechkins leg hit crosbys and crosby tried staying up then he reached for the puck thats when he fell.

[pgbruiser]

NOT A DIVE!!!!!

You capital fans need to get off Crosby and the Penguins nuts. Worry about what your players do and not ours. I know, I know its hard to when the Pens are everything you want your team to be, but really ENOUGH ALREADY. Get off our nuts crapital fans.

[NumbuhoftheBeastBurg]

I think he was trying to get the puck across the line fast enough so it wouldn't be called offsides, so i doubt he was intentionally diving

[MrNumberNine9]

Nice dive, Cindy!!!

[datsyuk13a]

can't stand Crosby or Ovechkin, but def NOT a dive...

[Cirvjakaac1]

LOL at Referee "I'll sit here for this game!" :D

[ShawnyMartin]

@Cirvjakaac1 if he didnt he would have gotten cooked!

[69GuitarFreak69]

@justinleftwinger Nah, Crosby is actually better at Semin in this category

[jaromT]

@justinleftwinger Of course its a dive -.-"

[SILLONOH]

if any1 talks sit about crosby there not canadien... and they prolly like dick.

[atonnion]

@SILLONOH (It's "Canadian" unless it's the French version)
