@ITHEREONETHATHASNT yaaaa! hay gary , i got a fan-fucking-tastic idea, lets make these monsters go faster and faster,all those fucking redneck pigs and old people in southern usa that dont care about hockey will love it! lets make it fast as greased shit, this plan is bullet proof! *5 years and a rule later* jeee fucking golly mister betman! why is everyone getting injured?.......... hay i got idea! tougher suspension *ten years from now* there, we did it! we took hitting and fighting out!
Let me clarify: Every team loses fans when they're at the bottom, unless your life is hockey like in Canada or Minnesota (all respect for that lifestyle). But Pittsburgh fans some of the most die-hard in the states when it comes to a sport that isn't the most popular here. It took Caps fans 3 seasons with Ovi before they dropped their ties for their first jersey and realized they had a great player.
Crosby has so much skill but needs to learn how to MAN up and quit bitching all the time "theyre throwing too many hats on the ice" lmao ill never forget that
@skew06 Crosby wasn't whining about the washington capital fans throwing too many hats, he was pissed because once they finally got them all up they started throwing more, they delayed the game, dosn't matter anyway because he got the last laugh
@norjak71: First off, what's with the name calling? Grow up. 2nd, you sound very uneducated about the sport. Do you remember the lockout? The ENTIRE NHL took a serious hit right before Sid and Ovi arrived. The only difference was that Sid arrived to a packed house in Pittsburgh. Ovi arrived to echos in DC. It took a city clueless about hockey about 3 years to catch on to the fact that they had a great player in town. That was my point, obviously you missed it.
The Blackhawks LOST money this year. After selling out all their home games in a huge capacity arena for a couple of seasons now, after all the playoff revenue which goes straight into the owner's pockets (players don't get paid during playoffs), they're still in the RED even in a big market city.
So, what does that have to do with attendance? Zero, so please do research before talking. It's not that hard.
Do you know why the Penguins were about to be relocated? Get back to me on that one and tell me if it had anything to do with ticket sales.
If you knew anything about the history of the sport you'd know one of the top players of all-time played in Pittsburgh for the better part of 22 years, winning 2 cups in the 90's, leading right up to Sid's rookie campaign. Jagr played there with 66 for nearly 10 years. They didn't have trouble filling seats.
People are morons. In every sense of the word. When information is freely and easily available, they refuse to look at it because it's the opposite of what they WANT to believe.
The bankruptcy had to do with idiot owners (before Mario) who were like teenagers with new credit cards that forgot that eventually they have to pay their bills. It had NOTHING to do with attendance, which was more than fine during the 90's and early 2000's.
Don't blame Crosby if he missed a couple handshakes, blame the stupid media for swarming him immediately. He is the face of the NHL, of course he's gonna get 10 times the amount of reporters bugging him than anyone else would.

@fmthebaron oh please hes already shown hes a fuckin deuche bag, no wonder they call him the kid hes a crybaby bitch, remember after game 5 that year. he lost the game and he threw a tantrum, same thing the other nite, games over he comes up and slashes and crosschecks zetterbertg in the back like 5 times, hes just an asshole thats all there is to it. hes so talented yet so immature. malkin and fleury won this cup. not him.
@swedishgamer you don't have the call him the next one. The Great One selected him as the player most likely to have a shot of breaking his own records. When he was 15.
@dldetwi Before Sid was there they couldn't get anyone in that stadium. He was the savior of that franchise they were going to have to relocate, it's common knowledge.
@dldetwi how the hell is that not a bandwagon? They only came to watch crosby in his rookie year because he was supposedly the next great one. The season before that the penguins were about to be moved to hamilton.
@dldetwi do you realize your just contradicted the hell out of yourself? read your comment again dumbass, you say pens dont bandwagon by saying "The Igloo sold out every game Sid's rookie year, when the Pens didn't come close to making the playoffs" that means... you sold every game out for sids rookie year, cause you werent selling anything before then, cause they sucked, hence. BANDWAGON. dumbass. man pens fans are fucking retarded.
@norjak71 what do you mean not selling out anything before crosby, ever hear of a man named Mario Lemiuex or JAROMIR JAGR, Marty Straka, Alexi Kovalev, Ron Francis, Joe Mullen. The Pens have Die Hard fans like me who were born in the city and grew up with the names above, I'll admit there are bandwagoners out there, but washington capital fans are the worst offenders of bandwagon jumping.
@dldetwi that one where they were one of the worst teams in the league in attendance before sid, and people only started buying seasons tickets when they drafted him.... that's far from a true fan, bandwagonners

he didnt even shake hands with anyone he makes me sick to my stomach i hate cindy crosby of all the people to lift the cup on our ice it was him it disgustes me
fuckin lil bitch god damnit i cant stand him. i wish kronwall woulda done to him what he did to havlat in the blackhawks series, give this pussy something real to cry about fuckin faggot.
SID!!!!!!!!! We love you and understand you are a GREAT HUMBLE athlete! You were surrounded by reporters and did not know what was up. AND the Red Wings were being impatient losers - last year, the Pens were waiting FOREVER - sitting on the ice even- until they shook hands. Sid you ROCK!
last year they wernt they (the wings) celabrated a little but ur coach made them to stay on the ice to get mad and angrey 4 next year and thats y they one it this year. and dan bylsma is from grand haven, Wich is in michigan and im from around there and when he took the cup home he said he told crosby several times to get to the line but he never went till it was down to the last like 4 people
lol! great strategy by the coach!! As for Dan, he was probably covering his a**. He said, She said...We all know Crosby rocks. He takes his shoes off when he enters fans' homes. (see the video where he is delivering season tickets to a fan in Pit.) Like c'mon! Who does that, let alone a million dollar player.
Here's the thing though. Does he complain too much or is it a runaway media train? Is the footage manipulated to make it look like he "complains" alot? Isn't he a captain and supposed to dicscuss what is going on in the game with refs, coaches, players etc? He is so good and young and Canadian and loved.......there is just a bit of envy here, just a bit. Everyone is trying to find something to dislike about him. And he is only going to get better as long as some idiot doesn't "goon" him.

captains are usually last next to the coaches. thats how it typically works though, its like considered an honorary type thing to be next to the coaches and "behind the team"
He didn't play the second half of that game.

Rivalry or not, it shows respect. But even Lidstrom dismissed Crosby's bail on the handshake. It's no big deal.
But just to elaborate on my first statement, even the Wings and Avalanche shook hands after their playoff series the same year as the 96-97 brawl.
