Jason12 0 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I was as well and I was even more surprised to hear talk from national media actually NOT making him out to the best player that ever played. I don't think I have ever heard so many negative comments about him in one sitting. But I do think it is being blown out of proportion and they are making it a bigger deal because they are the one's who put him up on that pedestal of greatness. Bad games happen to all the great players. I have no doubt that Crosby will be back next year.Especially since last round people were talking about Crosby breaking the playoff scoring record. What have you done for me lately I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Especially since last round people were talking about Crosby breaking the playoff scoring record. What have you done for me lately I guess.I honestly thought Crosby and the Pens in general looked tired and worn out the past couple of games. Crosby, I think, has a bit of an out: he played hockey until mid june, the went to the Team Canada Camp in the summer, then played a full exhibition and NHL schedule PLUS the olympics. It's not an excuse for their performance, especially Fleury, but it was definately a factor. Link to post Share on other sites

It's not an excuse for their performance, especially Fleury, but it was definately a factor.I thought the Crosby and Malkin had bursts but I don't think their support was there over the last few games...especially game 7. Dupuis seemed like the only one who put in a consistent effort. Where was Cooke in game 7? Where was Talbot, kennedy, Fedotenko, Rupp, Ponikarovsky the whole series. It's a lot easier to defend against a couple of key players when the other players aren't much of a threat. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I am really not sure which way to go here..Do we want Philly or do we want Boston to win.I dont think Boston can get the job done offensively vs Montreal. Rask has played well but the Bruins are just snake bit and will be hard to come back from 3 straight losses...Philly did though.I think the goaltending situation in Philly is tough..Leighton has performed admirably, can he keep it up..I think my best chance of beating Montreal is with Philly...It would also be pretty sick to have the 7 and 8 seeds in the Semifinals..I doubt that has ever happened...It probably hasnt even happened the 6 and the 8th seed.I would really like to get this game over so i can prepare my team for the upcoming war against Montreal.We have lost the two first 2 battles with some super powers, however we havent lost the war...

Hahaha yeah, been watching this doozy for a little while now. Is #14 for the Habs Plekanec? Cause whoever it is, he is Mike Richards' bitch. The video does raise a discussion-worthy point though, one that isn't just "Eff the habs" banter. ARE the Habs futures looking as bleak as the video would suggest? Link to post Share on other sites

strategy 4 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 seems like everyone's taking this as an opportunity to take a big ol' dump on lars eller. check his AHL numbers. watch his goals in the NHL last year. he's already got the tools to be a solid two-way second line center, could potentially develop into a big scoring threat. montreal did fine here.I kinda think we've all got the value system from the FCHL/2 and other second-tier fantasy leagues so thoroughly drilled into our heads that it spills into these discussions.
