i am not a crosby fan, i do think he is very skilled and a highly respectable player, but it was a battle in front of the net... I have played high level hockey before thats normal, sometimes miss happs happen, cheap shots are thrown, so what its hockey, look at any defenseman that is battling in front of the net, they all look like the same battles, and if they dont, chances are a goal is produced by the lack of aggresiveness.

Seriosly, what's the big deal? Super normal hockey play. I'd give Crosby 2 mins for roughing. Yeah Crosby plays little dirty sometimes, but show me a hockey player who doesn't.

[voivittumitapaskaa]

Oh c'mon! If that was Brooks Orpik hitting Foligno would we be arguing here? Absolutely not. This video would never even be posted to youtube. How can you call yourselfs hockey fans if you have never seen this kind of action happen many times in EVERY game? Hate the Penguins and hate Crosby all you want, but don't hate the game.

lol @ people thinking this is a "hockey play." Crosby is not getting position on Foligno, he's not taking away his passing lanes, he's not trying to cover him at all. He's just cross-checking him and throwing shots. This is not "playing hard," this is being a brat, there's a HUGE difference. And the Kunitz comes in and goes full retard. Fuck the Penguins.

@wintensity yeah, Potvin's in the hall of fame won 4 Stanley cups and is one of the best defensemen to ever play

[wintensity]

LOL do these announcers even watch hockey? I barely do and this isn't that big of a deal.

I'm from Canada, but I hate listening to Canadian annoncers.. (most of them) They are always soo bias to the Canadian teams.. I mean, that's fine, but still, who cares about Crosby having a scrap infront of the net. This was blownn wayy out of proportion in my opinion.. Anyway, I prefer the Verses announcers over anyone, they actually make nonbias statements and commentate a great game. Sportsnet have horrible announcers.. at least the guys at TSN are barable to listen too, these guys are not..

[nevertweet015]

holy shit those announcers should be fired it's a fucking hockey game if you've never seen a player jab his top stick hand into another's face before you obviously haven't watched enough to know what your talking about(of course retarded is what sportsnet go for in there announcers only reason john garret has a job)

[EBeauregard18]

Everyone said Crosby was to nice and not agressive enough. Now he has added an edge and suddenly a simple (very common) battle by the net is seen as a horrible cheap shot?!

@tapperlem1 yes i know that the hockey is a "violent" game but i'm not happy when i see Crosby or any else player wounded for five months or more.

@parangofan Hey buddy they call it H-O-C-K-E-Y, and sometimes there are scrums and cheapshots; always has been and always will be. Go watch figure skating if you don't like it!
