I have a big feeling if he wants to continue in the league he's going to have to take a pretty nice paycut...

The Sharks would have to buy him out first though. He'll have a tough time ever playing again, his back and knees are ruined. He's like a crappy Jason Smith.

Speaking of Jason Smith- did anybody else get that warm, fuzzy, feeling inside when Crosby two hand hacked him in the back of the legs and he just turned and laughed?

Diddle I love this guy.

Crosby is gonna have one tough ride when he plays the sens this year... LOL

Man am i ever excited for this year... We finally get some tough hockey!

Oh yeah! I laughed my arse off when Crosby did that!

It's hilarious, because my wife was saying she doesn't completely understand why everyone goes bonkers over Crosby. Sure he puts up a sweet amount of points, but after watching the game with me on Sunday, she was like: "See, even though he's young, he's a complete BABY when no one is protecting him..."
I was so proud! hehehe

But seriously, between Smith and Ruutu, they totally knocked him off his game. and Fleury too! I LOVE seeing that kid pissed and frustrated! LOL

I think Crosby is a great competitor and comes across as a baby. He's got to learn how to control his emotions, but don't forget he's very young. The Sens have pretty much always been able to shut him down when you look over the years.

Crosby is a great player and I don't think you can knock that.

That being said, I absolutely love Ruutu and how he plays.

oh no, I'm not knocking Crosby's skill and prowess for and to the game. However, I completely agree with you. he's what, 22... Old enough to know how to act like a man. you can get mad, sure, but within reason... but for god's sake, don't cry on camera... Price, that means you too!

Do that in the comfort of your own home with the shades drawn in a dark basement, you know! LOL

But seriously, all he needs to do is learn to control his emotions and in my experience, the best advice that has served me well: "Don't get mad, get even."

It's frustrating me. Who the heck is making a trade to acquire McLaren. I thought it was going to be Tampa plucking him off waivers, but they don't want to do it unless they can unload someone to make the cap comfortable.

Who is it? Damn... :D

Asq2 or Rooney (one of them) said St.Louis, but I can't see them going for someone as fragile and expensive as McLaren when they already have the fragile and more expensive McKee. Maybe though.

I guess it's down to LA, St.Louis and possibly TB.

Only a few more hours until the teams are set. Can't wait to see how thing shake out.
