crosby vs queen henrik

we already know how that matchup always goes

Who's Crosby? Is that a ghost b/c all i see are 0's next to his name on the stat sheet.

Anyway, it's Nash vs Henrik & Hagelin. NY Rangers Final :winner :champ

well canada hasnt scored much AT ALL in this tournament, so its not just crosby who cant score

but they do just keep winning

Well you'd think that the guy you like to call "the best player in the world" could score at least once in the entire tournament? He's been invisible.

Henrik has posted 2 shut outs and is the sole reason his team is playing in the gold medal game.

If Crosby boarded a plane for Pittsburgh nobody would notice.

You are a novice hockey fan who doesnt realize there is more to the game than scoring

crosby is awesome on faceoffs and a bulldog on his own side of the ice playimg hardnosed scrappy D fighting for loose pucks

not to mention he is getting the other teams top defensive pairing every time

:biglol Sorry he isn't Callahan

He's a garbage goal hanger who sits on the edge of the net waiting for his teammates to make plays, take shots and get bounces 3 inches from empty nets.

No hes not kovlachuk bro

give him his credit he does play hard on O and D

Hes not captain of the greatest team in the world, team canada, by accident

We all know you hate America, want socialism to rule the world, and is a bandwagon fan. You might as well be jeffcat

:lol:

Kovalchuk is better offensively as well.

I'm sorry, but did a bandwagon fan from down south who has probably NEVER played hockey at any sort of competitive level just try and say someone else is a novice??? Crosby is not a "bulldog." He is a good faceoff man. He's not scrappy, he's not hardboard. He's whiney. If he gets hit too hard he immediately looks to the official for a call. If he doesn't get the call, Lemiux gets on his soapbox and declares that he's taking his toys and going home.

Destroyed! :owned

Exactly. Crosby is not Callahan who is known as scrappy, digs corners and is the premier shot blocker in the league.

Crosby is a cry baby an embarrassment as a talent tbh.

All that aside, Canada was MUCH better than the US yesterday. Kane is just useless in these Olympics. Bylsma is showing that he's useless as a coach unless he has Crosby out there whining and diving for calls. Bylsma is showing how overrated he is as a coach and it's hysterical. Bylsma can't even get a bronze against a mediocre Finland team.

Crosby is probably one of the most talented hockey players in the world. The problem with him is he was spoiled as a young player in juniors and the NHL anointed him as the next great one so when he came up they did everything in their power to push him. That caused him to get a bunch of calls in his favor when he would dive. The league has cut back on how much they let him get called in his favor, which leads to his whining. He was spoiled his first few years and grew used to getting bogus calls. Now when he doesn't get them he complains.

Nynole is on point in this thread. Crosby was given everything from day so the NHL could save the penguins and he didn't have to work for shit. Now he cries and bitches over everything and can't stand it when he doesn't get everything to go his way. He's not a good face of the NHL, because he does shut up and toughen up like a real hockey player should

Crosby does play great D

and he never stops hustling for loose pucks

anyone who doesnt recognize that is just a jealous hater

Remember when people outside of Pitt respected Crosby's game?

Neither does anyone else.

I did when he was a rookie, but now that I see what he became, I can't. I thought he was going to be a joe sakic or Ron Francis type player. But now he's just like a wife, you're tired of him and wish he'd just shut the fuck up

No disrespect but hes better than sakic

hes not quite to the lemieux/gretzky/orr level but only a step below that

Swede's had no chance with their top 2 stars out, Canada's defense was insane.

GG

Crosby is the man

best player in the world
