Think he got a three way that night?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Maybe it is because everytime they show Cindy Crybaby on TV he is complaining about something

It's common knowledge that all players target their opponents with hits to the head. Cookie is just unfortunate because he is the only one that actually ever gets caught

Another sad chapter in the Flyers' franchise was when they had to trade away Lindros, LeClair and Desjardins because the Flyers couldn't pay their salaries even though their loyal fans were filling all of the seats

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

i think he was suave enough to get them at the same time. if not, definitely suave enough to get them separately in the same week. :lol:lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

MonkeyManNumbers is so rattled right now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So rattled. I hate when my team continues its perfect record in our cross state rivals' home arena!!!1!1

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

On a hockey forum I look at from time to time the Canucks fans were thrilled that the Bruins beat the Rangers last night. They want back to back presidents trophies. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ha Joe. :rattle

Saw the highlights have the Pens and Flyers that's again the shit that bugs me about Crosby. Time to grow up kid. As a lot have said if you are gonna dish it out expect to get crap back. We had a big conversatoin about it back in 2010 when he was wailing away at Zetterberg's back at the end of a game so Howard went after him and then after the game he bitched that Howard went after him. What do you expect a teammate to do?

Wings were able to pull it off yesterday. The only positive I take out of it is that those are the games you'll have to win in the playoffs so at least there's that.

This was a thing of beauty though. Too bad it didn't work.

I forgot the Pens are so righteous in whatever they do.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Apparently Lucic's girlfriend and Snyder's girlfriend are in a twitter war because Snyder's girlfriend flipped off Lucic's girlfriend at some event in Boston. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Between Carchards and stuff like this the NHL is turning into a bad reality show. :lol

And I am in agreement that while everyone in the NHL gets chippy, and one of the things I like about Crosby is his willingness to play the physical game and not shy away from it, he could do with a little less whining. I know he's passionate and wants his team to win, and after a few more years of maturing I think he'll (hopefully) grow out of it. There are plenty of other vets who quieted down in their later years. Hopefully Crosby follows suit.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Our team has done it's share of dumb shit over the years, but it's hardwired into your team and fans that playing with an edge is the right way to play the game.

I'd love to know who Lavioltte wants the Pens to have on the ice. Sid? Malkin? Staal? Neal? He was probably just dying to get a shot in on one of them.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bylsma rolls 4 lines. Malkin Crosby and Neal were all just on the ice trying to get a goal and the flyers scored. so much bitching about a clean hit, Laviolette looks like a clown.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Laviolette is just firing up his whole team. It's blown out a bit I think. I heard what he has said. I really think he's just firing the team up. Laviolette wasn't gonna try and light any of the Pens up. He didn't put his fourth line out there. Bylsma put the correct line out there actually in my opinion. The Pens have stars on each of their first three lines....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You've won 2 in a row. If anything, he fired the Pens up. It should be a hell of a series.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I love this thread at playoff time. Any sort of cordiality we usually exhibit toward each other gets thrown completely out the window :lol

If Tim and I were on this back in the late '90s, I imagine we'd be flinging the same sort of crap back and forth. ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby is back!?!? Time to start watching... :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

But instead of being in our teens we are in our late-20's with nothing near that rivalry now.... :shrug I probably would have been more of a dick back then I'm guessing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

15 months and the Flyers-Pens rivalry was nice and quiet. I take back every nice said about Crosby.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's all nostalgia at this point... Oh how we could've hated each other...

Yeah, I can imagine myself saying some dick-ish things back in the day. Fatherhood has softened me up I suppose.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Sid said it best: “Both teams bring out a lot of bad things in one another. You can sit there and put a microscope over every little slash that goes on out there, but the fact is both teams do it. Both teams aren’t going to sit there and deny that they don’t. We don’t like each other. That’s the way it is.”

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What a whiner crybaby.;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens assistant coach Tony Granato was fined $2,500 and Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette was fined $10,000. Zac Rinaldo was fined as well.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The refs should play this quote back for him when he's crying to them after every whistle.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Nice Christmas present coming to Lavy via Ed Snider.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

this :thumbsup :thumbsup

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby is the only star to cry to refs.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Any chance Millbury gets fired over his meltdown yesterday? I guess if you can confront a 12 year old and keep your job, you can do just about anything.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby is the Wayne Gretzky of crying. :rattle

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If he only played the game like Chara or Kane.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I don't know why you would even want to have him as analyst considering the horrible job he did on the Island. :lol:lol:lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Well then don't say something like that to the media and then whine about the same thing. Both teams are slashing and cross checking Sid you said it yourself.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He is too much a pussy for that.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What would people like Sid to do? Never talk and never engage anyone?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think most people would like the media to stop paying attention to him. One thing is certain though, Mike Milbury is a bag of tools.

http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/201...off-his-skirt/

(Yes, this rattled me.)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He should shut his pussy mouth is what he should do. How dare he comment on what happened during the game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

No.

If he's going to talk shit, then actually defend his words when someone comes at him.

You can't slash away or take liberties at someone and then cry to the refs when they come back at you.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I guess Pens fans can keep exaggerating what almost every other person in the thread is saying, but I think we've all made the point pretty clear. If you're going to slash and stir shit up don't bitch about it to the refs when others do the same to you.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Milburys comments make me so mad that i am going to swing a stick at the glass.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

omg stop saying Crosby is a pussy. :rattle

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

When every move you make is over analyzed to the nth degree, nothing you do will be right.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This. Even before his comments on Crosby, nearly all the stuff he says is just ridiculous. Him and Maguire = Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Honest question: is Crosby the only player to do this? I refuse to believe he is. I understand that he is under higher media scrutiny than most, and I understand how conduct like that could annoy a lot of people.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Captains should not talk to the refs or media.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Unless Sid turns into Gordie Howe, he's going to be looked at a pussy. We'll just keep looking at him as the first or second best player in the game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Is he the only one? No. But is he one of the biggest ones? Yes.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think its more that he is the 'biggest' one because the cameras and media are focused on him much more. you know how many times ive seen giroux do the exact same shit and complain to the refs? just as much as crosby, but no one talks about him, the media doesnt focus on him or anyone else.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens should yank Milbury's credentials.

The camera is always on Sid.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think Crosby slashes and stirs shit up much more than Giroux does though. Could be wrong but based off what I've seen from both players I see Crosby do it much more often.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

he might hit them with a shoe though.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

ive seen Giroux do that and 'whine' quite a bit. Not to call out any player, but a lot of guys do it. the camera literally panned to crosby after every little scrum and incident yesterday.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I guess Milbury is in the studio, so they couldn't do anything. Maybe not let anyone from NBC in the building.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol:lol:lol Yea that'll happen.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Oh sure, since the cameras are always on Sid we see just him mouthing off to the refs, and not anyone else.

Give me a break. Guy has been doing this since his first day in the NHL. Give the self-entitlement crap a rest and play the game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

of course they are going to put the camera on crosby, he is a top 2 player in the league. why put it on a top 250 player claude giroux?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens have had the best player in the game for the majority of the last 30 years. That rattles people.

Can you imagine the outrage today when Lemieux two handed the guy from the Caps in the playoffs? He'd be a cancer surviving pussy.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It seems like Pens fans are the ones rattled. How dare anyone question the great Sidney Crosby!!@!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

way too many people rattled in this thread

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I know what you're saying about the refs and I can agree there. But Giroux doesnt say shit to the cameras like "that was a cheap shot" even after he shattered a stick off the same guys knee cap that was the only thing that bothered me about all of that after the game. Im not one to hate people on the Pens just because they played better and beat the Flyers or anything either.

Another thing that annoys me, the last time the Flyers and Pens played all I hear about is Hartnell being dirty yadda yadda yadda from Pens fans, I didnt even complain about Kunitz shoving and slamming his face into the ice or when Letang kept slashing him everytime he was in striking distance. Its how Hartnell plays, physical. Every team has guys like that just so happens Hartnell scored a lot more goals this year than the others. Im not directing this towards you at all I just needed to mention this somewhere because its been driving me crazy how people can say Hartnell is being dirty when the other team is equally harrassing the same guy the entire game. Sorry for the rant.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

250 player? thats laughable.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Its a joke from last seasons thread. :trap

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:trap:trap:trap:trap!!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

haha alright I was gonna say the guy is top 3 in points this year.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yea I think bibby missed that hysterical exchange. In reality, both Giroux and Crosby are in the top 5 in the NHL right now (Crosby is top in my book).

Since I made it a topic, my top 5:
Crosby
Toews
Malkin
Giroux
Stamkos

I think that was actually Bucci's top 5 as well.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yes I missed it. Obviously.:lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

as a pens fan right now, id take Malkin over Crosby and anyone else. he has just been head and shoulders above anyone else (assuming we are talking this year).

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby takes the cake in the crying category, amirite?!@!?!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Talking overall, regardless of the season. Crosby is the best player in hockey.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

agreed then:thumbsup

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Giroux is a good player, but he's not the face of the league. Not even sure he's the face of the Flyers, but I really have no idea. If he says something about anyone it's not a big deal. Maybe he doesn't say anything. Sid gets a thousand cameras stuck in his face and is going to get on SC when he says something.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The amount of whining Crosby does on the ice was pretty surprising when watching 24/7. That's what really changed my mind about him. It's not like he just talks to the refs - he outright cries like a bitch about every little thing. Given his talent level, it's pretty sad.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The best players in sports are usually the least vocal about their problems with the game and officiating, right?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

what a save on mike green, holy shit

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So you admit that he whines like a bitch, but justify it because other stars do it too?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Shouldnt you be arguing about what city has better food? ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Pens need to worry less about the Flyers and more about how they're going to get a puck by the brick wall named Marty Turco tomorrow night.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Nah, when the best response was a localized version Denny's, I realized it was pointless. :cool

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Every athlete "whines like a bitch". It's part of the modern game in every sport.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol You cannot honestly believe this.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's true. You don't think Halliday can get away with saying more to an official, than the 5th starter in Pittsburgh?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I hope Crosby one day plays for Montreal with self-entitlement complexity that he and those fans have. Perfect fit.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Halladay doesn't spew garbage out of his mouth every time the umpire calls a ball though. ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Halliday plays for a Philly team, no way he'd ever, everrr talk to a umpire.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If Philly had Sid, he'd be bigger than Rocky. Too bad your stars never measure up to ours.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

for all we know, crosby could be asking the refs out for drinks after the game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Talking to an official isn't the same thing as crying for a call every time someone looks at you funny. Crosby looks immediately to the refs nearly every time he gets touched. Look at yesterday - he slashes the fuck out of Shenn in the corner, Shenn retaliates, and instead of going at Shenn it's a look right to the ref. It's a pussy move.

And as for your example, there's a big difference between talking and whining. I watch every Phillies game and attend about 30-40 a season, and in all his years in Philly Halladay has probably said less to the umps than Crosby says to the refs in a single game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

i dont know man, these people worship rocky out here.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Oh yes, God--I wish we were so lucky to have four fucking once in a generation players play for our organization in the past what? 25 years?.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

See, unlike my fellow Flyers brethern--I'm not going to get into a dick-measuring contest with you guys.

At the end of the day the Pens have more Cups, and in reality, that all that matters.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Smartest thing ever said.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

or in crosbys case, pussy measuring. im kidding.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He's got the widest set vagina in the NHL by far.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

But if the Flyers win the Cup this year, that makes them unequivocally better than the Pens, right?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Runner up goes to Michael Leighton's five-hole.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Theoretically, both organizations would be tied. But I have to imagine that the edge might go to the Flyers as they have the highest winning percentage in the NHL, second to Montreal. Plus, all of their Conference trophies, etc.

But like I said, it is all about the Cups.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It would make them equal. 3=3

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens would still be up 3-1. No one saw the Flyers win.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Equal in titles, so you'd go to the next comparable stat, which would be winning percentage.

Of course, then it would be, "but we had/have better players like Crosby and Mario," which would be funny.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Oh go fuck yourself, Scott Hall.

Nice sig, by the way, too. :lol :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This is idiotic. By your logic the Red Sox are better than the Yankees since they've won more titles lately.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

ummm the Red Sox are better than the Yankees.
