i only defend him if people rip on him first...otherwise i dont really care

[mack 44]

anyone who bashes crosby is just jealous of how much he would own you at anything

Yes, you defend him with gems like this. If only OJ had you on his defence team.

Anyone have any pictures of Hatcher owning Crosby? I can't find any

Couldn't find any either. I have the game on video.

The thing I remember most from that game is after Hatcher knocked his teeth out (twice) & he had his meltdown, he tightened his chinstrap, went back out & scored the game tying then the game winning goals in Philly.

The kid steps up to every challenger. When it's on the line he takes it up another level.

Jesus are you dense.

I bet I would take him at Gaelic football, or hurling

From the pictures I have seen Gaelic football looks like soccer with full contact? If so, that looks amazing.

Yes, and anyone who defends Crosby goes to bed at night with hand lotion and a box of kleenex, fantasizing about game-using Crosby's "stick".

that was very mature

i actually found that very funny.

but on a serious note you defend the little whiner like your sleeping with him. face it hes a good hockey player but he has some issues (whineing) he had to take care of before he gains respect around the league.

How could you say a spoiled brat. He's a kid with talent. And for anyone who was gonna say all he does is complain watch a Pens game see. From all the games almost every time he says something to a ref something actually happened.

Agreed^^^ He went over the line a few times but most of the time he had a legit complaint. Hatcher knocks his teeth out-no call. Later in the game Hatcher high sticks him in the mouth-no call. Crosby goes ballistic and gets sent to the box.

This scenario played out time & time again throughout the season.

Its called "paying your dues". He'll be done with it soon enough, unless he stays the same.

When did wayne pay his dues?

At some point over his 20 year career, it certainly wasn't in his first couple weeks, months or years.

Damn sure wasn't aftert that Leaf pumped his ass after cutting across the blueline, because he was run out of the league :)

Its got elements of soccer, rugby and aussie rules football, the sport itself has been around since the 1880's.

Its full contact, and hurling is worse, imagine someone swinging their hockey sticks, head high and you have a light little helmet and thats it for protection

Clip of the GAA footy

You will notice, if you are familiar with Ireland, the football features more northern counties, and the hurling tends to be better in the south.

When I was in Dublin in June we saw a match which was freakin amazing. The Dublin team kicked ass.

Hurling is truly a sport of immense hand-eye coordination.

[jon93 0]

[mack 44]

Was that a haiku?

As someone born and reared in Donegal, having had the pleasure of beating dublin for the sam in 92, I can say, there are no other teams I despise as much, with the exception of maybe derry.

But glad you saw a game, its a great sport

I think it is awesome great for the fact that it is an amateur sport and none of the players are played. In the states complain to get more while theyre getting millions a year. It is truly a real sport.

i don't really blame hockey players for complaing though, i mean it's alot of money and tyhey should be happy with whatever they get but alot of baseball players and other athletes make as much as a whole NHL team.

[mack 44]

If it was as popular a sport as the others the compensation would be similar.

So what do all you Crosby bashers think of Ovechkin??

That he is better.

[cbj30 0]

He is 2 years older than Crosby

[kosydar 0]

You're right, I guess Ovechkin didn't score 13 more goals, score more points in total, have a better +/-, have half of C's penalty minutes, and win the Calder while playing with arguably worse players. Besides, Ovechkin didn't receive 1/10th of the hype Crosby did before either played an NHL game. Ovechkin can also play a physical game (before anyone says Sid can too, taking stupid penalties doesn't equate to playing a physical game). So what if he is 2 years older? He is a better player.
