That save at the end was fucking wild

So Crosby and the city of Detroit both lack class....apparently.

No, we cheered when he was injured because he's a self-righteous, arrogant little punk-ass prick, and that's also why he was booed for lifting the Cup. On the lifting the cup thing, though as I remember it, Mellon Arena reacted the exact same way when we won it last year in Pittsburgh.

I could care less about the booing when he got the cup. But cheering for a injury? Come the fuck on. I don't care if it's Sean Avery, that's classless.

I agree, I would have cheered if Franzen ended his career :)

He's an asshole, especially when he's with Malkin on the ice. Then he's twice as evil...I don't know what series you just got through watching but re-play Game 5 and tell me they're perfect angels on the ice who wouldn't hurt a fly and I will call you on it.:|

So what's the excuse for Franzen pushing Crosby's knee into the boards?

We get it, Icebox. People talk about Sidney Crosby and it makes you mad. You can stop trying so hard now.

Aww, he pushed his knees into the boards...

If Crosby didnt jump like an idiot to try to avoid the check, he would have been fine.

Jesus, the way people bitch if any player even touchs the whiny little cunt.

Very classy indeed here.

I was reading the newspaper while pooping just 5 minutes ago, and in the sports section, there was a picture of Crosby shaking hands with Osgood, with other Wings players waiting behind. Maybe this is just one big miscommunication mess?

By the way, I don't see why people complain about Crosby for whining and stuff like that. Most of the time he just complains about hits and calls and didn't see as fair. Do you know who else did that a lot? Wayne Gretzky. And I don't see many people on the Gretzky hate bandwagon.

I was watching the celebration and saw him shaking Red Wings hands before the trophy's were brought out.

See, the way I've always seen this was that Crosby was SUPPOSED to be drafted by Montreal. When he went to Pittsburgh it was an act of violation against fate. And we all know that Montreal spawns the most stubborn, spiteful, unforgiving jackassery in the world. Don't beleive me?

I could easily elaborate, but you only eat the force-fed shit that the media shoves down your throat.

Though for those of you who can see past that, my girlfriend went to the very same school that he did and what she has told me about him is that he is an arrogant, cocky, self-centered, ignorant little punk ass prick.

Examples:

Comes into the school cafeteria and hands out signatures to select people saying "Here, they will be worth money someday"

Another, he goes to a Tim Hortins and when they screwed up his order he stated "No wonder you cant get a better job"

Hmm, how about that.

Sid's a bit of a dick, yup. But Draper is a shit head for his comments. In this case I'm in complete agreement with Crosby.

That seems like an incredibly unfounded statement that some angry little kid would just lash out and say for no reason. Good start.
crossrine

lol wow only somebody who is extremely jealous at their own lack of success would find fault in that. If he's handing them to "select people" they are probably friends of his I guess? Is it so bad that he'd like to give his friends something they can make money off of? Or maybe something they can show their kids or w/e later in life. Just because he knows he's going to be hyped up and famous doesn't make him an asshole.
crossrine

And? I do that too, lol
crossrine

Was I right about him being arrogant and cocky?

So basically, FA is basing his opinion of Crosby off of a waiter screwing up his order? GREAT argument you have there FA.

All from Icebox's girlfriend as well. Guessing she wanted a little Sid and he wanted none of it. Then she made up these rumours. Textbook case of jealousy here.

On rdd's reaction to Fallen Angel about the Tim Horton's quip by Mr. Crosby: Yes, I mostly agree, except that he's not average Joe Q. Citizen, who can criticize most anybody, and 99.9% have it not even be a big deal.

Crosby is a professional sports athlete with moderate fame now, and with that comes scrutiny and the responsibility to try not to say something that might come back to haunt you or your reputation in the future. All I know is he better learn to control his temper a bit more, or one day he will mouth off to the wrong person in or out of the NHL, and get himself, fined, suspended, or even jailed if he doesn't watch himself. It's no big secret the guy has massive anger/temper/possibly ego issues.

"You don't keep a guy like Lindstrom waiting too long"

What?!

The guy just won the Stanley Cup, Linstrom is pretty low on the list of priorities at that moment.

No disrespect to Lindstrom as he's a top class guy and player

Probably belongs in the VG Forum, but alot of hockey fans don't go there. But...

..It looks like Ovechkin is going to have a bad year, if you believe in curse's.

DUN DUN DUNNNN.

Isn't it EA Sports that is the jinx?

Its supposedly the Madden curse but only because everyone just ignores the few years where nothing happened to the cover guy

Yeah, Rick Nash was 2K Sports' cover guy this year and things went pretty smooth for him.

It was more of a joke then anything.

Looks like his shorts are drawn/airbrushed on. Haven't had a hockey game since NHL Hitz on Gamecube. Might get that

It ain't Madden, it's ok.

Maybe the Caps get a bit more attention now.

Wish 2K could make a fucking decent baseball game!! I was a NHL2K diehard, but EA Sports Be A Pro Mode sucked me in.

Both are good. The Be a Pro Mode in EA is too amazing to pass up. I've screen some screen shots and previews of EA2010. First person fighting, scrums after the whistle, looks incredible.

The only thing I liked about 2K's NHL games was that it had the skills competition for the all star weekend.
