Yea that's why Matt Bradley took him out a few days ago

I was not aware of that.

Was it a clean victory, or did Laraque do something gay and 'slip' or something. I will do a You Tube search on this and will then analyze your comment.

I can't find any evidence of this actually happening.

Therefore, my comment still stands. Laraque could legitimately beat the shit out of ANYONE in the NHL.

EDIT - Just saw the video....that doesn't prove anything. Like the announcers said, "he got the jump on Laraque"....and then just fell on him.

Erskine goes for the quick tackle because he knows allowing BGL to get the left loose would be a bad thing for his health.

Brad May would have got tuned. He would have stood up for the guy, but he would have gotten smashed.

btw, 5 game suspension for that is such bullshit.

Ovechkin
Crosby
Datsyuk
Getzlaf
Thornton (playoff performances drop his ranking.....maybe even more)
Thing is, Crosby got skill. I wont deny that. Seems loads of his assists and most of his goals come from sneaking in around the net and basically tipping them in, games I have watched anyways.

Now, Malkin who is the ONLY player in that list who plays on the SECOND line, I consider a better player as he just is able to do more then Crosby (including putting up more points on a lower line) in almost every aspect besides faceoffs.

Lets see now, with Datsyuk, you have a defensively responsible player, who on a team loaded with talent (meaning of course less chances) he manages 90+ points, Getzlaf (along with Perry and Ryan) make up the 2nd best top line in the league to Washingtons, again with 2 excellent linemates Getzlaf gets his points. Thorton is the same way, as if Ovy. Any of the players who are there besides Malkin have great players on the same line as them, so it would be a bit harder to get points, with Crosby (and Malkin) they are by far the best player on their line and I dare say, depended upon, to make the plays and score the goals because we both know that Ryan and Perry >>>>>>>>> Kunitz and Guerin.

All in all, I just think that all the players I listed have more skill then Crosby.

I agree he is in the top 10, I do not agree he is in the top 5. For the reasons I listed I place him at 6th-7th, depending if you put Kovalchuk ahead because his whole team is terrible and he manages loads of points.

Or anyone outside the NHL. Firm footing = more severe beating.

Ovechkin
Crosby
Malkin
Datsyuk
Iginla

You just hate Crosby because he whines every now and then. He's still a top forward in the NHL, every team would kill to get him, because he's great at controlling the puck and he plays both ways.

You can hate the guy for his attitude, but saying he isn't a top player is a little bit ridiculous.

You just strike me as one of those angry guys who call on the radio and give stupid nicknames to "insult" the players while ranting without any real reason.

What? Are you on the crack? He's lucky all he did was get 5 games. There was no regard for Kronwall's health when he did that and it's one of the dirtiest plays that have happened in the past couple of years.

Richards was dirtier and he got nothing on a blatant headshot. Star treatment, hence the bullshit comment.
