>>117608 This. I'm a Flyersfag, so by nature I hate the kid. However, he's a very, very good player. He's talked about for a reason, but yet they go too far in promoting him. He bitches and moans a lot, which is kind of lame, but whatever. He's a soft player, there are lots of those. The problem is that the entire league sucks his cock at every possible occassion, going so far to pretend that Jesus [without facial hair] just laced up the skates and took to the ice. When he dives, it's because he's "BATTLING SO HARD, MMPH...HE'S SUCH A...OH MY...SUCH A GOOD PLAYER, SUCH A...A STRONG LOWER BODY! OH YES!". When he cries to the referees, it's "OH, SID IS SUCH A GOOD LE...LEADER! MMM, HE'S SO YOUNG, TOO! THE FACE OF THE NEW...THE NEW NH-OH GOD, I'M GONNA BLOW!"
The constant praise and over-exposure is enough to make anyone sick of him. There are a TON of highly skilled players in the NHL, and yet a single player receives more attention than all of them put together. The reason you never see anyone make fun of Joe Thornton is because nobody in the league ever talks about Joe Thornton. They're busy telling you for the five-hundreth time why Sidney Crosby is the next great one. Do I mind when people talk about him? No. Do I mind when he is the only thing talked about? Even when his team was getting their asses handed to them by the Red Wings, the announcers were still fellating the guy. I can think of a dozen players in the Eastern conference alone who could represent the game just as well as "Sid the Kid", but they barely even get a mention inbetween all the worshiping of this whiner. He's one of the top 5 players in the league...But that also means there's four other players you could talk about just as easily.
