As I said yesterday, Crosby is a great player, is he the best? That can be debated. If he was injured it surely affected his abilities. Did it affect the series? Yes to an extent but the Pens defense was pretty poor and that's the reason you didn't move forward.

Really? Hate the dude all you want but you can't argue this at this point can you?

Because I don't base what I do off of people I don't give a damn about.

Who cares what the lowest common denominator thinks about anything.

Even though I am not the biggest Crosby fan you can not argue that he is the best player in the league. Don't know though how long that will be for

Seriously I was a Penguins fan first back in the day. Everyone on the Islander blog knows that and I root for the Penguins all year except against the Islanders. So I am a fan still have my autographed Mario Lemieux jersey hanging up

Does anyone here think Geno should get more of a look as Sid's wing? I'm not saying he should be but just thinking out loud. In theory, with improved depth on lines 2-3-4 it could work better than in years past. We could sign a Penner/Setoguchi to fill out the top 6.

Here are the options. Ignore the people that have a clear bottom feeding agenda, or engage with them and all that comes with that.

Here is not an option. Not writing about the best player in hockey and the relevant news that comes out about him.

You forgot to put 'during the regular season' after 'best player'

True enough , but it gets old when 60% of all comments are jack wagons bashing my favorite player to watch.

It is a mild inconvenience at worst, unless you engage.

His 1.2 ppg career average in the playoffs begs to differ.

He actually did an interview for NHL Network and ASKED for pitty...I saw it!

He said..

I know I have no grounds for asking, after chopping off Claude's hand (and it subsequently having to be sewn back on)...but please...FEEL SORRY FOR ME. My wrist really hurts and I might need surgery.

Just google "I'm an idiot" you'll find it.

P.S. Apparently the reattachment surgery did not go as well as expected. Claude has recently had some involuntary contractions of his hand when in the vicinity of male police officer buttocks.

amazing!!! fwiw, crosby is the man and he is a fantastic player. maybe who doesnt recognize his talent is fooling themselves and anyone crying about him getting any advantage, legal or frowned upon, is just jealous their players cant get away with it.

What more could the guy do to prove it? He has collected enough hardware to fill my house 2x over since he hit the NHL.
