its hilarious how the pens announcers almost ignore the hit...i mean most people wouldnt go crazy over their own player getting hit but at least raise your voice a little
@gogiants98 that's because this guy is horrible. I live in Pittsburgh and I can't stand the tv announcer. They used to have the best announcer, Mike Lange, but they got rid of him for that clown, Paul Steigerwald...lameness
@wholewheatbagel ur a pussy faggot. Marc Staal is an allstar, and where the hell is luke schenn. He is even one of the better hitting d men in the nhl.
he won the cup cause it was all rigged for the lil cindy whiner !! your pathedic franchise was on its way out ...lol. now look at all the bandwagons ...pathedic ! as cindy ..cant wait until someone knocks her horse teeth down her lemiux cock garage of a throat ! lmao . GO RANGERS !!
@buke23 Uhmm yo are you able to write English? because you seriously write like a fucking 10 year old school girl, which you probably look like when you have skates and equipment on. Crosby is the best player in the league you fucking idiots. Just because you will never make it to the NHL doesn't mean you have to try and insult a player that could deke you and hit you without even trying...
@lolmurphlol LMAO !! crosby hit?! are you kiiden me ...if that bitch tried to hit me (as if ) i would slap the the lil girl in her face , and give poor cindy another concussion ! now , do me a favor murph , or smurf ..pull your lips off crosby's ass (that is if you can get fagg ass mario lemiux out of there ) . . and wrap it around your thumb , cause your whining like cindy..BIOTCH !! dont bother to reply , cause i got you on ignore . have a nice day
I know Crosby isn't the 'toughest' player around but I sure as hell prefer him over Ovechkin, and yes he may whine or 'cry' but atleast he isn't a cheap hitter or a one-dimentional player
@Hurley474 he's a big fucking cheater..he cant win on his own so he whines to the point where the refs rather hand out penaltys rather than hear his whiny girly voice..man up cindy you little girl
I hate Crosby as much as the next Rangers/Hockey fan but all bias aside, that really was a great play by Marc Staal. He lined him up, he stayed in position, and he took him out of the play.
I don't fucking understand why people call Crosby a bitch. I've watched the penguins ever since he came on the team and have not missed a game and I have never seen Crosby cry or whine. He does things for charity and he helps out the city a lot. That thing about him crying and not shaking whoever's hand in the lineup is a MYTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crosby has perfect sportsmanship skills and he is really a TEAM player. He would definitely be my second choice on my team (behind Ovechkin of course)
@HaloGod1844 do you watch the games with your eyes closed and carrots in your ears..he's the biggest whining bitch in the WHOLE NHL...I guess love is blind..homo
hahaha what the #1 bitch? Like i said earlier he has absolutely no class or character and he is terrible for the game. Anyone outside of Pitt would take Datsyuk or Hank before having that little bitch on their team. You can say he is one of the best when he wins multiple cups, by the way that will never happen!
I'm also surprised that Crosby didn't get back up and starting running at Staal like he does every other time he or anybody on the Pens gets hit fairly.
@KashiwaDaisuke Actually, it is Crosby's fault. Sportsmanship is something he needs to work on, and blowing off the post-game handshake isn't helping his reputation for being a disrespectful punk.
@85More No, it's not his fault. If you watched the replay, he spent a few moments celebrating with teammates, gave a short interview and then went to shake the hands of the Wings (except for Lidstrom and a few others, who were unpatient). All of this took less than 30 seconds. Crosby waited for Lidstrom while he was celebrating the previous year and none of this "controversial" shit emerged.
Watch the replay, I dare you. Even Crosby was confused when he saw Detroit players leaving the ice.
@viewer3511 Have you even watched the Penguins play during the past two seasons? Malkin isn't even in the league of Ovechkin, Crosby and Stamkos anymore.
@viewer3511 Crosby and Malkin were neck and neck for the Conn Smythe. Crosby may have produced at a SLIGHTLY lower pace, but he was matched up against top defensive shutdown pairings, whereas Malkin was not.
Either way, Malkin's play is constantly declining, while Crosby is only getting better. To say Malkin is better at this point displays a huge amount of ignorance.
@viewer3511 Then you didn't state your opinion clearly. "Malkin is better than Crosby" doesn't mean "Malkin was better than Crosby during the Stanley Cup run".
For the record, I agree that Malkin was the MVP of the playoffs.
@KashiwaDaisuke and by the way ovechkin is the biggest scumbag that's ever played this game im glad marc staal is at least able to consistently send that russian commie bastard on his ass at least once each game they play
@KashiwaDaisuke yeah and i'm sure the other 19 players on that team had nothing to do with it crosby's god i forgot please do me a favor and go into a coma your brain is already there crosby isn't fit to carry lemieux or gretzky's jock strap if they were full of piss
the capitals are going nowhere in the playoffs with their current lineup. far too much youth and not enough GOOD veteran presence. knuble, great move, great player. nylander? he only put up points next to jagr, and i know you caps fans LOVE jaromir jagr! hahaha. morrison sucks. caps need a big crease clearing d-man and an older 3rd line centre, why they didnt go for prospal is beyond me.
age doesnt matter these guys have been playing there whole life they get it now and erskine jurcina do they ring a bell? they can clear the net just fine and nylander did good his first season in DC around 40 points in 40 games
crosby isn't a team player and he plays in a team sport, he isn't captain material and should be riding a second line until he fixes his attitude, crosby is one of the worst poster childs for the NHL and may only be beaten out by pronger for the actual worst
Well they decided Datsyuk deserved to be a MVP nominee more. I like Datsyuk, but he didn't do anything more than he did last year lol. Parise iny my opinion deserved to be the 3rd nominee.
As i said i like him, but he had a no better season than he did in 07/08 and wasn't a nominee for MVP in 07/08. Zach Parise improved largely he should of been the 3rd nominee for MVP this year or Steve Mason.
i can respect that but theres so much proof and facts that ovechkins better offensivly maybe crosby's better defensivly but not enough to beat ovechkin overall why dont you argue malkins the best that makes more sense (if your a pens fan)
Ovechkin scores the most and is a really good checker. Though he gives the puck up way too much, Has to take ALOT of shots to score the amount of goals he does and could work on his defensive game alot more. Crosby is a great passer, pretty strong on the boards, great leader, good goal scorer and isn't afraid to hit. Though he needs to score more goals and injuries are a bit of an issue. Overall i think Crosby is better. Fav players all time: Lemieux and Jagr!
lol i disagree but as soon as i saw favorite players Lemuix and Jagr i relized you wont change your mind like you cant change mine and crosby doesnt hit at all compared to ovechkin and hes not a good goal scorer they just put him in front of the net to knock in the rebound and he is not that great of a leader they just did that cause he's the star player just like they do for every team think about it
Well compared to Ovechkin tons of people dont hit much, but compare Crosby to Pronger guess who hits more? Crosby does. Malkin as well hits more than Pronger. Crosby can score nice goals as well still. He is very vocal to his teammates so i'd say yeah he really is a good leader and only just turned 22. Well no not really look at buffalo there captain is craig rivet when they could of made Roy or Vanek the captain. Also look at your team ovy isn't the captain Chris Clark is.
chirs clark played like 30 games last year and ovies the assistant and he always talked to the refs and talking to teamates means you have freinds doesnt make you a good leader and no malkin or crosby dont hit more than pronger not even close and your gonna need more then 2 team to prove it i man san jose-thorton, atlanta-kovalchuk, chicago-toews, philladelphia-richards, carolina- stall, and goes through history with gretzky, lemuix, hell even bure was captin once i think
See how Pronger is a very overrated physical player?
btw Sharks captain is Marleau and Canes' captain is Brind' Amour. Kovalchuk was just recently made captain also though. other examples: Moreau is the captain of the Oilers
thats because pronger makes a lot of dirty hits hes the dirtiest player in the league and he makes big hits hes the one who injured mike green i think, brind amour used to be a star and i dont know why i said thorton my bad, and marleau used to be the sharks star
He's above average in height at 6'3", but only weighs 195lbs which is about average. Though he should weigh more being that tall cause Crosby is 200lbs at only 5'11".
lol seems like your defending him though. He's a good d-man and was great, but age seems to be affecting him now though maybe he'll be better with philly than he was with the ducks this past season.
Well they have more offensive talent so i think he may get more points. Philly definetly will be 1 of the top teams though. Right now i'd pick Detroit for winning the cup though, but still many guys to be signed.
lol i do but its got nothing to do with hossa anyways the islander should be in there to i mean crosby and ovechkin didnt imediatly get there team into the finals besides tavares is half of what ovechkin is and 3/4 of what crosby is
I know the Islanders wont be a playoff team or even close, but they'll be a bit better. Probably finish 3rd last lol. My prediction for Tavares is 70pts. I hope he has a great career because he's from the same city as me and i met him a few months ago.
Tavares could play wing on the 1st line and weight the center and okposo at wing or Tavares center and Weight wing cause i have no clue about Tavares' faceoff ability, but i know that Weight isn't good at them. I didn't think Streit would have a good year since he was going from MTL who at the time and a good offense and excellent PP and he still had a big year with the Islanders. So i think Tavares can put up 70pts. Crosby and Ovy didnt have anyone that good in there rookie years either really.
Neither had too much with them. Crosby still doesn't have much with him since Malkin mostly plays with him just on the PP, but Ovy has Backstrom and Semin lol.
no thats wrong thats way off here's the first line: ovechkin-backstrom-kozlov then the second: semin-fedorov-laich/flieschmann so belive it semin is that good
Federov and Laich didn't put enough points up for Semin to have the elite points he did. Also Kozlov would of had alot more points playing with Ovy and Backstrom.
well im sorry but i know i watched like 90% of caps games but for like 5 games ovechkin semin and backstrom all played on the same line and they rocked i think it was in early november i remember them beating carolina like 5-1 and they played amazing but like i said boudrea is a fucking retard he wanted "2nd line scoring"
laich needs more ice time. flieschmann isn't as good as laich. Knuble will only get like 50-60pts even with those elite players. Semin wont be repeating this season playing with nylander thats for sure lol.
i think nylander is an offensive upgrade from fedorov and i can see knuble get 60+ points and id say flieschmann is a better than laich but its hard to say they really do have differrent styles ive heard that laich might the second line center that wouldnt be a bad idea
Nylander has gone completely down. Federov is better than him in my opinion. If you say Kozlov really played on the 1st line all year i dont see knuble doing much better than him. The best thing would be play Laich at center and Nylander at wing since Laich can win about 50-51% of his faceoffs and Nylander wins about 46% of his faceoffs. I'll say Detroit vs Boston stanley cup finals.
ya but offesivly nylander is better besides fedorov played on the second line and nylander on the third so its hard to say and knuble is way better than kozlov had 30 goals last year and now hes on an even better line
It would just make more sense for your captain to be out alot more like especially not someone who plays 8 mins a game. I think the dumbest thing is Luongo being captain he's not allowed to have the C on his jersey and he isn't the 1 to talk to the ref. Ryan Kesler should be there captain. Marleau is there star still pretty much thornton is getting worse each year now. Marleau finally had another big year mainly cause he was back on the 1st line instead of playing the 2nd line center.
crosby was probally saying . oh look at me im so goodd yea i the bestt {which is not true he is so gay} but then he gets killed and probally started to cry
lol whatever. i'm a pens and sid fan and i loled when staal did that.
good clean hit. people need to get over that sid is doing his job going to the refs, he speaks for his team, not just what happens to him. and i watched this game and sid didnt go to the refs right after.
Is that all you do is defend crosby on every single video on youtube? You are pathetic. The guy is hated by his fellow players, hated by the fans, he gets booed in every single building he plays in. Did they do that to Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier? No because they were men. Until this guy stops crying, giving cheapshots, pretending he is tough by punching a player between a ref, then he might get some respect. new poll on espn...who is better crosby ovechkin? 63 % of the nation thinks ovechkin.
youre clueless. booed because he was a threat? oh yeah like gretzky used to get booed. great players don't get booed because they are threats! you really are delusional. maybe you should do some of that homework because your mind needs the education. Its obvious you've been watching hockey as long as crosby has been here. History note: great players don't get booed, theyre worshiped. oh yeah i was wrong about that polll 74% ovechkin 26% crosby. "booed because hes a threat" lol youre lost
Crosby should quit Hockey while he's still young. I think Crosby should use the money he has now and go to University and become a Lawyer because he sure is good at complaining and whining. LOL OVECHKING RULES!
Rivals boo great players all the time get the fuck used to it.. you think when they announced the starting lineup in philly with MARIO LEMIEUX they stood and applauded? lol go fuck yourself... nice poll though if only it was Ovechkin v. Malkin... but it's espn so im not suprised that they would ask something so meaningless
Oh really, you must have the inside scoop on the Pens locker room to know all his fellow players hate him. I call bullshit sir. I stopped reading your comment after that.
But that just makes you look stupid. Also it doesnt matter, people can hate on crosby all they want, he'll still be the most popular player in the league.
true but it's a satisfying one because it's crosby. he wouldn't be able to do half the shit he does if they went back to the old rules. he gets to dance around like a fairy, pisses me off. the kid is fucking talented tho, gotta give him that but in the end GO RANGERS!!

Ovechkin scores the most and is a really good checker.

Crosby is a great passer, pretty strong on the boards, great leader, good goal scorer and isn't afraid to hit. Though he needs to score more goals and injuries are a bit of an issue.

chirs clark played like 30 games last year and ovies the assistant and he always talked to the refs and talking to teamates means you have freinds doesnt make you a good leader and no malkin or crosby dont hit more than pronger not even close and your gonna need more then 2 team to prove it i man san jose-thorton, atlanta-kovalchuk, chicago-toews, philladelphia-richards, carolina- stall, and goes through history with gretzky, lemuix, hell even bure was captin once i think
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Well 1st you better check the stats....
Crosby 77GP 80hits
Malkin 82GP 80 hits
Pronger 82GP 78hits
See how Pronger is a very overrated physical player?
btw Sharks captain is Marleau and Canes' captain is Brind' Amour. Kovalchuk was just recently made captain also though. other examples: Moreau is the captain of the Oilers
and Eric Brewer is the captain of the Blues.
spfan68 2 years ago
thats because pronger makes a lot of dirty hits hes the dirtiest player in the league and he makes big hits hes the one who injured mike green i think, brind amour used to be a star and i dont know why i said thorton my bad, and marleau used to be the sharks star
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
He may make big hits, but he doesn't hit often. A guy his size should have close to 200 hits a year.
spfan68 2 years ago
ya i guess but saying crosby or malkin can hit better than him is crazy
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
better? na maybe more clean lol, but they hit a little more often for much smaller guys still.
spfan68 2 years ago
i wouldnt say malkin is small
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
He's above average in height at 6'3", but only weighs 195lbs which is about average. Though he should weigh more being that tall cause Crosby is 200lbs at only 5'11".
spfan68 2 years ago
i think 6'3" is above average
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Yeah as i said "He's above average in height at 6'3"."
spfan68 2 years ago
o my bad either way 80 hits at 6'3" is terrible even if your only 195 pounds
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Well as i said Pronger had only 78 hits and he's 6'6" 214lbs!
spfan68 2 years ago
like i said he made lots of big hits (and he is a very dirty player not that thats a good thing)
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
lol seems like your defending him though. He's a good d-man and was great, but age seems to be affecting him now though maybe he'll be better with philly than he was with the ducks this past season.
spfan68 2 years ago
i dont see why he'll be better in philly
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Well they have more offensive talent so i think he may get more points. Philly definetly will be 1 of the top teams though. Right now i'd pick Detroit for winning the cup though, but still many guys to be signed.
spfan68 2 years ago
im picking washington vs. chicago final the winner will be washington
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
lol you think Hossa will lose in the finals again lol. Phoenix or Colorado will get the 1st pick.
spfan68 2 years ago
lol i do but its got nothing to do with hossa anyways the islander should be in there to i mean crosby and ovechkin didnt imediatly get there team into the finals besides tavares is half of what ovechkin is and 3/4 of what crosby is
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
I know the Islanders wont be a playoff team or even close, but they'll be a bit better. Probably finish 3rd last lol. My prediction for Tavares is 70pts. I hope he has a great career because he's from the same city as me and i met him a few months ago.
spfan68 2 years ago
70 pts i dont know hes capable of it on any other team but who will he be playing with okospo weight?
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Tavares could play wing on the 1st line and weight the center and okposo at wing or Tavares center and Weight wing cause i have no clue about Tavares' faceoff ability, but i know that Weight isn't good at them. I didn't think Streit would have a good year since he was going from MTL who at the time and a good offense and excellent PP and he still had a big year with the Islanders. So i think Tavares can put up 70pts. Crosby and Ovy didnt have anyone that good in there rookie years either really.
spfan68 2 years ago
ovechkin had zubrus and bondra or something i forget
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Neither had too much with them. Crosby still doesn't have much with him since Malkin mostly plays with him just on the PP, but Ovy has Backstrom and Semin lol.
spfan68 2 years ago
ovie doesnt have semin, semin plays on the second line bruce boudreau is a fucking retard i hate him they all play great together
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
I'm pretty sure Semin plays alot with Ovy cause he put up too much points this year he couldnt of done it with just laich or kozlov.
spfan68 2 years ago
no thats wrong thats way off here's the first line: ovechkin-backstrom-kozlov then the second: semin-fedorov-laich/flieschmann so belive it semin is that good
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Federov and Laich didn't put enough points up for Semin to have the elite points he did. Also Kozlov would of had alot more points playing with Ovy and Backstrom.
spfan68 2 years ago
well im sorry but i know i watched like 90% of caps games but for like 5 games ovechkin semin and backstrom all played on the same line and they rocked i think it was in early november i remember them beating carolina like 5-1 and they played amazing but like i said boudrea is a fucking retard he wanted "2nd line scoring"
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Well it wil be something like this
LW Ovy C Backstrom RW Semin
LW Laich C Nylander RW Knuble
LW Fehr C B.MorrisonRWFleischmann
LW Gordon C Steckel RW Clark
spfan68 2 years ago
nah it should'nt be (except least the first line) but it will be this
ovechkin-backstrom-knuble (he can crash the net for ovy)
semin-nylander-flieschmann
laich-morrison-fehr
gordon-steckel-bradley (i feel clarks overrated due to his old old succes)
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
laich needs more ice time. flieschmann isn't as good as laich. Knuble will only get like 50-60pts even with those elite players. Semin wont be repeating this season playing with nylander thats for sure lol.
spfan68 2 years ago
i think nylander is an offensive upgrade from fedorov and i can see knuble get 60+ points and id say flieschmann is a better than laich but its hard to say they really do have differrent styles ive heard that laich might the second line center that wouldnt be a bad idea
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Nylander has gone completely down. Federov is better than him in my opinion. If you say Kozlov really played on the 1st line all year i dont see knuble doing much better than him. The best thing would be play Laich at center and Nylander at wing since Laich can win about 50-51% of his faceoffs and Nylander wins about 46% of his faceoffs. I'll say Detroit vs Boston stanley cup finals.
spfan68 2 years ago
ya but offesivly nylander is better besides fedorov played on the second line and nylander on the third so its hard to say and knuble is way better than kozlov had 30 goals last year and now hes on an even better line
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Overall i dont see Caps finishing with a better record than there 08/09 record.
spfan68 2 years ago
why wouldnt they there a better team than last year
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Federov.Kozlov being gone. I also dont see Semin or Green putting up as good of numbers.
spfan68 2 years ago
id say knuble and morrison are better than fedorov and kozlov and a young team like ours that means everyone is going to get better with age
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Well for Green to improve he must put up over 90pts if he played 82games.
spfan68 2 years ago
he wont do that but he can improve defensivly
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
yeah but knuble and morrison will match it along with their ahl stars aucoin, giroux and perrault
Bobbyjoe64 2 years ago
and in october i think semin played with nylander for awile
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
Besides you want your captain to be 1 of your better players so he's out on the ice more i'd say.
spfan68 2 years ago
i don't understand that? why does your captain have to be on the ice a lot?
washingtoncapitalsss 2 years ago
It would just make more sense for your captain to be out alot more like especially not someone who plays 8 mins a game. I think the dumbest thing is Luongo being captain he's not allowed to have the C on his jersey and he isn't the 1 to talk to the ref. Ryan Kesler should be there captain. Marleau is there star still pretty much thornton is getting worse each year now. Marleau finally had another big year mainly cause he was back on the 1st line instead of playing the 2nd line center.
spfan68 2 years ago
all you need is an A or a C on the ice

good clean hit. people need to get over that sid is doing his job going to the refs, he speaks for his team, not just what happens to him. and i watched this game and sid didnt go to the refs right after.
laura489 3 years ago
Is that all you do is defend crosby on every single video on youtube? You are pathetic. The guy is hated by his fellow players, hated by the fans, he gets booed in every single building he plays in. Did they do that to Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier? No because they were men. Until this guy stops crying, giving cheapshots, pretending he is tough by punching a player between a ref, then he might get some respect. new poll on espn...who is better crosby ovechkin? 63 % of the nation thinks ovechkin.
GeneralSather 2 years ago 2
i'm a college student avoiding homework, so yea, as a pens fan i watch lots of pens videos and i comment on them. is there a problem with that?
i don't care what the nation thinks, he gets booed because he's a threat or else people wouldnt bother booing.
laura489 2 years ago
youre clueless. booed because he was a threat? oh yeah like gretzky used to get booed. great players don't get booed because they are threats! you really are delusional. maybe you should do some of that homework because your mind needs the education. Its obvious you've been watching hockey as long as crosby has been here. History note: great players don't get booed, theyre worshiped. oh yeah i was wrong about that polll 74% ovechkin 26% crosby. "booed because hes a threat" lol youre lost
GeneralSather 2 years ago
Crosby should quit Hockey while he's still young. I think Crosby should use the money he has now and go to University and become a Lawyer because he sure is good at complaining and whining. LOL OVECHKING RULES!

But that just makes you look stupid. Also it doesnt matter, people can hate on crosby all they want, he'll still be the most popular player in the league.
conversekid1908 3 years ago
Sorry Captain Spelling, the voting is over and you've locked up the top spot for stupid.
Most popular does not equate to most respected. I'll take Lidstrom/Drury/Ovechkins's respect over Crosby's popularity any day of the week.

true but it's a satisfying one because it's crosby. he wouldn't be able to do half the shit he does if they went back to the old rules. he gets to dance around like a fairy, pisses me off. the kid is fucking talented tho, gotta give him that but in the end GO RANGERS!!
