/hoc/

Allow this humble anon to ask you one small favor: shut the fuck up about comparing Crosby and Ovetchkin. You hate crosby and/or ovetchkin. We get it. You've made that pretty fucking clear by now.

But jesus christ, the only substantiation I ever see for these statements of sheer unbridled fury are idiotic. Either Crosby is a delicate flower or Ovetchkin is too reckless, and apparently BOTH are one-way players. And WTF is with showing a pic of Crosby/Ovetchkin laying on the ice as if it's proof that the player is a wimp? All that proves is that the player fell. Jesus, everybody who's ever skated falls now and then. Even pros.


So what I'm really trying to say, /hoc/, is this: Move the fuck on with your lives. Nobody cares how much you hate a hockey player, especially if the only reason you can give for it is unsubstantiated BS or meaningless pictures.

Or, even better, why not put aside the retarded prejudice and enjoy two of the best offensive players in the NHL right now? Is it that fucking hard? Hell, I've been a wings fan for my entire life, and even I can admit that Patrick Roy was a GREAT goalie. It's not that hard.

Both Crosby and Ovethkin are good players who MAY someday be great players. Why not let time be the judge? Shut up and learn to enjoy hockey , regardless of who's playing.

This is Op. I'm not trolling. I'm totally serious: people who keep saying the same complaints thread after thread every time one Crosby/Ovetchkin are mentioned piss me off.

These are fantastic players. Why not just appreciate them and watch some fucking hockey?

I hate Crosby because he's effectively the poster child of everything that's shitty about the 'new' NHL.

I lol at those EDGE jersey ads which imply that Sid has been a lifelong Penguins fan even though his fav team was the Canadiens and his fav player was Steve Y.

My friend is a die-hard Sens fan, during their round last playoffs against the Pens he'd make horse noises whenever Crosby would touch the puck. I lolled frequently.

Maybe if their entire franchise's success didn't rest exclusively on the shoulders of one good player they would. Oh wait, they have Federov, Huet, and Cooke now, all their problems are solved!

how about Green (leads all D-men in Goals), Backstrom (strong candidate for rookie of the year and 2nd in rookie pts) and Semin

Huet can shore up the goaltending if they resign him to bridge the time until the caps goalie prospects are reading for the nhl in 2 years; fedorov is a good pk and faceoff guy, and cooke has 2 g 5 a since coming over, big upgrade over pettinger who the caps traded for him

I actually like Crosby, but I do think it's funny that everytime he's out, Malkin makes it look like he ain't no thang.

do you not understand how being a sports fan works? there are certain players you hate, and therefore dont buy into all the positive bullshit about him, just the negative. it happens when every good player plays. If the internet had been as rampant back in the 90's as it is today, i gurantee you thered be a bunch of MICHAEL JORDAN IS OVERRATED posts.

fucking bandwagoner (IM A WINGS FAN LULZ LOOK AT ME) and probably midwesterner, learn how sports operates and buy season tickets to the charlotte bobcats.

Calgary is the true capital of bandwagon fans. Half-empty game attendance through most of the 90s and early 2000s, then suddenly in 2004 it's sellout crowds of 'lifetime fans'.
>> Anonymous
>>37729

Not true. Most of the lifetime Clagary fans just recently moved back there because Calgary started to suck less than it's neighbours. True story.

Okay...first of all: I've lived in/near Detroit since I was born, and I've been a wings fan since I was three. I haven't missed a wings game on tv/radio/in person in three years...as lame as that makes my social life to be. I am no bandwagoner. If I were, I'd be talking about the Tigers right now, since they're the new hot ticket in Detroit.

As for being a midwesterner...well,I supppose you've got me there. Oh no.

I'm sorry but I just refuse to think that way. Even when he was kicking the shit out of the wings (and when Osgood and Vernon were kicking the shit out of him) I could still admit that Roy was a fantastic goalie. I hated him for it, yeah. But I didn't go around saying he was overated.

What you're describing is a conformation bias. It's a horrible way to approach any argument.

CaptialistBastard: Yes. Crosby won a lot of hardware last year. But you know what? If he won thirty hart trophies and thirty Rocket Richard trophies, but never the Cup, he'd be remembered as "the best player who's name isn't on the Cup."

Until Crosby wins a Cup he's only a very good player. Not a great one.

Maybe my problem is I have too much faith in people's abilities to engange in meaningful discussion, and not be retarded...

I like Crosby but he gets on my nerves because he's still a little puss who pisses and moans when he gets knocked over.

Gretzky was the same way though.

Wings haven't been a frontrunner team in years, Y and Shanny leaving/lackluster playoff performances have ensured that. Penguins are the new in-vogue bandwagon team specifically BECAUSE of Crosby. He could put a goal into his own net and people would still masturbate over his amazing play to psych out the other team.
