No Protection? Talbot going after Campbell was protection.
Fact is what the golden boy did was childish and bush league. Mclean didn't have a chance.
I think kid the sid is a champ. Leads by example.
Mugging someone is a pretty piss poor example of leadership. His hot head got him 19 mins instead of goals. Down 4-1 in the new NHL is possible to come back from. And the Pens have the firepower to do it.
Sid the Kid is right. I thought Crosby grew up a bit. I was wrong.
I would take Laraque over Talbot any day of the week for protection.
Watching a game live and on TV are two different things. Things happen behind a play is not always shown on TV. How many times a game do you think CROSBY gets stuck with a stick in a game or a cheap shot against him. IF you think nothing happens to him then your crazy. Same thing with any star player but it comes down to frustration. What he did was out of frustration.
This years team is not as talented as last years team nor does it have the grit like last years team.
EVERYBODY always whines about guys like CROSBY, MARIO and WAYNE calling them babies. Which I think comes down to jealousy cause these guys are so talented. But they are always being called classless.
Alex Ovechkin does nothing dirty at all I guess. He is a saint, I don't think so.

Yeah, he's in a tough spot for a kid his young age, no doubt! Off topic, Tyler Kennedy is the ugliest nhl player I have ever seen, he looks like a who from the grinch and Montreal has had such gems as Patrick Traverse!
Dude... I couldn't care less what they look like, I'm sure none of us do... but I just have to say your crazy if you think that He looks just like Nate Horton but without huge eyebrows.
I dont know what Cale Hulse looks like in real life, but in NHL 06 his picture was downright SCARY! He looked like his face was cut out of clay or something....
Hot about .... wow I cant believe I'm blanking right now... Flyers forward with curly red hair... he's ugly, but in my mind he looks like he smells like shit I dont know why but I've always called him Smelly ________ . I really cant believe I cant think of his name

JTFinn, BluesPlayer and Spitfire you guys are bias you see things through black and gold glasses, I am guilty of the same thing, I still think the Neil hit on Drury was cheap even though most on this board and in the NHL will disagree. Bottom line is what Sid did was cheap and bush league. As long as someone on that team tells him that is not acceptable and he doesn't do it again then everyone (outside of the Atlantic Division) will move on, hell i pretty much already have and we are semi rivals. Sid is still one of the best players in the league, he just has alot of maturing left to do. As for the aforemention change in attitude, I am sure it has alot to do with being 20 years old and playing for the Stanley Cup Last Year, I don't care who you are that will add some swagger and cockiness to anyone.
I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we do a pretty good job of not being TOO biased... although today is a bad day for me to say that since I'm all over the Pens tonight in every thread, but thats because I love the play... I rarely bet on Pitt. But none of us said he is a mature player, I said everything you said. He is young an immature, doesn't always make good decisions, but he was raised being told he was a god on skates and he's a 21 year old face of the league... its a lot of pressure. It really wouldn't be easy to be sid the kid.

he is one of the goofiest looking guys i have ever seen, how anyone can look at him when he is talking shit and not laugh is beyond me. how can we have a conversation about ugliest guys in the NHL and not have Rod Brind'Amour's name pop up.
that man could scare children if they are sitting close enough to the ice surface

You mention what Mario has done off the ice. good for him, well done terrific. This thread is about on the ice stuff.
I have met Sidney Crosby, he was nice, shook my hand, good kid. This topic is about his on ice conduct. What he did the other day was disgraceful. Stop calling it a fight. He jumped a guy while he was taking a faceoff . It was a bush league move.
The "you would love if this guy was on your team" nonsense is silly and has nothing to do with the topic. Are we not allowed to have an opinion on a guy unless he plays for our favorite team?

Sid "The Kid" grew up watching Teletubbies while Ovechkin grinded his way out of tough Russian life....
And Ovechkin might have played dirty sometimes, but he never threw punches at a guy that is already down, and certainly did not "double teamed" his opponents like Crosby did.... He might want to show how tough he is, but life aint a Gatorade commercial....
And if you are talking about talent - there are more talented players out there than Crosby or Ovechkin..... But at least Ovechkin plays the way he is, and Crosby is dancing around for sponsors... who is gonna sign you if you are crying on ice, Kid?

I hope your not talking to me, myth, or this is like the 50th time in one day that people respond to what I say as if they are criticizing me when they are restating exactly what I f*&^cking said!
You said 'Dont be comparing Crosby to Ovechkin'
and you continue to write 10 lines comparing crosby to ovechkin...
...and you said the same thing as me, that Ovechkin and Crosby were raised in completely differed ways. Ovechkin might as well be 30 while Crosby might as well be 16.

I find it hilarious that someone from New Jersey would ever critique someone with as much talent as Crosby??? WTF Devils ruined hockey in the early 90s with their bullshit rope-a-dope hockey and dump and chase chicken shit style.... Players such as Stevens were absolute GOON style and completely offside. So people in Jersey shouldnt piss and moan on other teams who try to win without hiding behind that weasle Broduer!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. What a joke. Notice how NJ is ALWAYS competitive....regardless of who plays, or even who's in net. You can hate on their system all you want but that's TRUE hockey. No true offensive superstars, just 20 guys who buy into the same system and execute.
