That guy won the fucking Vezina back in the 90s. Washington traded him to Boston, where he suffered an inner ear concussion, fucking up his balance. If that never happened, he would have been one of the best goaltenders today.

The only thing Cindy is gonna do for hockey now is to fuck it up, pussify it, and turn it into a one-man game like basketball...hockey is a legitimate full contact sport. Since most people think Hockey = NHL, and virtually ignore the juniors, NCAA, AHL, ECHL, and Euro leagues, this is just gonna worsen the sport altogether.

The Captain role goes to a player with experience, leadership, hard work, and a flair to talking to officials. How the hell is a snot nosed 20 year old brat who can't even grow a proper playoff beard get to wear the C?

Nevermind, I figured it out...only Captains can talk to refs. If Cindy is the Captain, its easier for him to embellish penalties.

Its not jealousy
Its because we know the refs are on their side, letting them embellish penalties for powerplays and more scoring opportunities
We all know the NHL wants to shove their golden girl Cindy Crosby down all of our throats, whether we want to or not

The Oilers in the 80's were a very respectable squad. They had Messier, Tikkanen, Kurri, Coffey, and Fuhr. They could have operated fine without Gretzky (and they did when they won the Cup in 90).

The 2008 Penguins are not the 87 Oilers.
>> Anonymous
>>111880

Anytime I hear those comparisons to the Pens and the 87 Oilers, I want to puke. The 87 Oilers are far and away a much much better squad than this years Pens, 10-15 players on that team are either in the HOF or are on their way to being it. Crosby and Malkin will more than likely make it barring some sort of Career Ending injury, but how many of the other players on that team are going to be? 0, they would be shit without those two. At least the Oilers were still a decent team without Gretz.

Malkin's alright, he can have a full career. Crosby has to go, though. He needs a nasty concussion that will cause him to slur his speech and have retarded facial spasms, and nobody would dare let him lace up another pair of skates ever again.

I won tickets to a Panthers game from a radio show, and it was against the Penguins. I was supposed to see the awesomeness that was Sidney Crosby. He ended up doing absolutely nothing but faceoffs in that game.

Los Angeles, despite its lack of success in the playoffs, have a nice history. Gretzky, Dionne, Robitaille, Potvin, Taylor, McSorley, Hrudey...their recent success has been limited, but I can see them getting some promising prospects and can be an up and coming club that'll pull some nice numbers in the coming seasons.

The Kings pull decent, loyal crowds. Also, many celebrities attend Kings games, more than any other team in the League (Anaheim's a close second, due to the proximity to LA).

My favorite King is former Wolverine Michael Cammaleri.

Head hunting? It's called checking and playing defense. Look into it. It's one of the things players are supposed to do.

Shoot first left winger? Isn't that the fucking point of hockey? To score? Or do you think the point of the game is to bitch at the refs and not play defense?

As for playing golf, he's prefecting his slap shot so he can make a run at 90 goals next season. You see, Ovechkin broke a record for most goals by a left winger this season. Crosby should try it sometime. And don't give me "youngest to do" bullshit. Ovechkin reached all those point plateau's before Crosby and as a Rookie Of The Year trophy sitting in his home unlike the bitch you constantly worship.

Oh and maybe he'll win a Cup when he receives the same type of help from players and refs that Crosby currently has.
