Hockey fans, answer this question for me please.
I'm not a hockey fag btw.

Why do you guys hate Sidney Crosby so much? Shouldn't Sid haters like the guy who is trying to bring hockey back into the mainstream?

Pic unrelated its just Rax being Rax.

It's not that we hate him per say, but it's the non-stop fellating of the kid like he's the next coming of Christ. He is a bit immature on the ice, and at times looks as he whines like a 5 year old who hasn't gotten their way.

And people like the tripfag who cums every time he does something.

He's a great talent no doubt, but he shouldn't be the only one they market, there are plenty of others that deserve the attention that Crosby is getting.

The only other 2 players with similar talent have got a ton of attention this year.

Seriously, stop fucking whining about the kid.

Are they gonna call him "The Kid" when he's 35?
>> CapitalistBastard !!f/pELCnjRD0

No but he's 20 years old.

Maybe it will change when he's old enough to buy a beer.

Best talent in the NHL behind Whoavechking. Shame he ended up in a shitty market with a shitty team with shitty exposure. I'd ask for a trade if I were him.

So Thornton, Lecavalier, Kovalchuk, Iginla, Datsyuk, and Heatley aren't of similar talent?

srsly, /sp/artans need to stop judging players on stats alone.

There are a few schools of thought

A) He's the face of the "New NHL" which is the advent of rule changes that promote a faster, scoring game to attract new viewers. Unfortunately, it just feels like it's just turning the NHL into one-man teams like the NBA.

B) He's over-hyped...and that's not considering that he's neither the best player on his team nor the best young player in the league. Hearing about him, you'd expect him to dominate, but he's just a "right place, right time" offensive forward (which are now a dime-a-dozen in the New NHL) who spends more time yaking at the refs than back-checking.

C) The tripfag is a clever troll and just wants /sp/ to hate the Pens/Crosby, so he masturbates Crosby's ego every day. This would explain the tripfag's fair-weather bandwagoning and general sissy attitude toward hockey.

He's about as clever as a sack of shit. Same tired routine. He just copies and pastes the same shit over and over.

53k get.

anyway my opinion here is probably nothing because I'm a lightning supporter from australia, so that kinda ruins my credibility I guess.

but there are a shittonne of underrated players in the league.

as>>52982said

also, I would've thought more people would appreciate ryan getzlaf, he seems to be a tough forward with a good scoring touch. thoughts anyone?

Jealousy? As a habsfag, I still hate the hype surrounding the kid. Sure, he's not entirely responsible for what the NHL made of his image (hockey renewal bullshit), but he's still acting like a pussy on the ice and sure he doesn't mind playing his part in the media (reebok ads are the best example). Now tell me why would I be jealous of this one-way player when my team has the best offence in the league?

He's still immature on the ice- he's a bit of a whiner and sorely lacks any sort of toughness whatsoever. Having zero physical ability isn't really a good thing in hockey to begin with, but he is a good player- it's just that the guy is hyped and shoved down our throats far too much. He's not even the best player on his team, let alone in the league. There are at least a dozen players of similar or greater talent than him in the league right now, and they get absolutely shafted while they promote this guy as the face of the new NHL.

Ovechkin is what most real fans would like as the "FACE OF THE NEW NHL" or whatever. He's tough, he's better than Crosby, and he doesn't whine or bitch. He's a genuinely charismatic guy whereas Crosby's face just makes you want to punch wildly and never stop. The fact that Crosby gets the vast majority of attention annoys a lot of fans because there are a lot of other very skilled players out there deserving of the attention, but get shafted.

And no, NOBODY in the league gets a focus on him like Crosby. Other players do get recognized, but no one else is advertised and marketed as heavily or as offensively as this guy right now. I can't fucking watch a Pittsburgh game without hearing about THE CROSBY SHOW. In the news around here, when the penguins were without crosby, most of the recaps for the Pens were still about Crosby. If they won, it was "PENGUINS MANAGE TO SCRAPE BY WITHOUT SID THE KID". If they lost, it was "PENGUINS MISSING CROSBY AFTER LOSS". This would be acceptable if they nosedived after losing the twat, but they actually IMPROVED. Jesus Christ.

The only people who care either way about Crosby are the butthurt Eastern Conference. It's probably a combination of having to play him, and the fact the eastern TV/Media heejay him on the regular.

Nobody in the West gives two shits about him. True story.

Agreed on everything.

Crosby is basically Don Cherry's wet dream in that because he's a 'good Canadian kid' that makes him better than Ovechkin by default. If Sid developed the bloodlust of Pronger or Simon that Cherry seems to think is the be-all and end-all of hockey, he'd spend even more time yammering on about Crosby than he does about Afghanistan.

Bringing hockey into the 'mainstream' means more teams in shitty deep-south markets where game attendance numbers struggle to hit the 10k mark, pissing league money into a black hole while Bettman continues to force their continued existence.

Fuck hockey going 'mainstream'
