Crosby whining?

This is on the Flyers site, but the NHL itself controls what is on the site and what the pics are called.

I found this at another MB and found it fairly funny

That was after he flopped to the ice and writhed in agony after a tap to the gloves.

Starts about 40 seconds in. Looks like a pretty decent slash to me. As such, I highly doubt the league patrols what the file name of every single picture is.

At any rate, this is from weeks ago and is just going to lead to yet another one of these stupid ass topics.

Gotta love those Pens announcers, "Sidney got a stick or a puck in the face..."

Was it a chop? Absolutely. Was the reaction overly dramatic? Absolutely.

"That's a two-handed chop from an Old Timer that should know better." That's how they played in the Old Days. Lol.

Wasn't the joke about Sid that he embellished and whined too much his first year? I thought he had given that up and just started playing.

I thought the league does monitor individual plays. I know they do in the NBA. Certainly if a play is in question, they can easily go back for review.

So 102 points in hsi first yea r and 120 in his second doesn't count as started playing? I mean if he can whine and still score that many, let him whine all he wants IMO. I mean, I know what you mean, but he's been playing + all the whinning.

Maybe I'm gullible but I think he was in pain.

Crosby can do whatever the hell he wants whenever the hell he wants - he is the best player in the world and the most focused so he has to take the most s--- from the other team. He was doing his best to try to get his team on a PP it doesn't bother me if he stretches one of his 10slashes a game to try to milk a penalty

I don't care what you say, those slashes hurt, a friend of mine took one of those and broke his finger, the nail fell off and everything.

You're a soccer fan aren't you?

Sidney Crosby is a warrior and he would never "fake" anything. He may be exagerating his pain but still, the pain IS there. And who's going to take a painful slash without whining? I wouldn't.

Exaggerating = faking

Don't believe me?

He played with a broken foot for months last season so if anyone wants to question whether he can take the pain while he plays or not..

This topic needs closed before it turns into a big shit show.

Well i like the idea of backing up our points with the dictionnary so... Faking pain, to me, means there is none, it is non-existent:

3. to pretend; simulate: to fake illness.

Nobody is doubting his ability to play through pain, or his ability to score or anything like that. He has widely been accused of diving by coaches and players, moreso than any other player in the NHL over the last couple years.

As for closing the topic, we'll make that decision. No need to tell us what to do.

So pretending that you feel more than you do is not faking the additional pain? I can't believe that someone would actually defend someone faking as a legitimate tactic in hockey. When did the NHL turn into FIFA?

Embellishment has been going on for years.

Lets not try to pretend that Sid is the first/only player to do it. Did you see little ole Kris Letang floor great big Holloweg in tonights game? Me neither, but the refferee bought it.

Holloweg is a whiner!!

You need to stop pretending I made claims to justify your position.

I never said Sid was the first and I have ripped other players who have done it. See the kovalev topic from the playoffs a couple years ago. Perhaps there is a reason that Sid's name seems to come up more often than others and perhaps that reason has nothing to do with being a "hater". Just something to consider.

I'm not watching the Pens game, it's blacked out in my area. As for Hollweg, he's exactly the type of player that is ruining the NHL. Just like Avery, Ruutu, Tootoo, Downie, etc... I would pay to watch Sid but I would never pay to watch those cheap bastards.

If the refs don't like it, they can always call unsportsmanlike conduct on Sid.

Not if they want to work the playoffs.

The Pens may not make the playoffs either.

I'd love to see who gets blamed for that, I'm guessing Therrien.

Ya think?
