All Playoff Talk... All the Time... 2012 Edition

NEELY wrote:Crosby is and always was one of the biggest Wing Dang Doodle in the NHL. This just proves it. Giroux, Toews, Alfi, Iginla, these are class players. If they have an issue they take it to the other team in very respectable manners. Whether it's scoring a big goal or fighting a guy straight up, that's what they do.

Crosby might the best player on earth but he's a 2nd class captain and about as immature as you can get.

Exactly. And it's Cussing great that he is now exposed. During the game yesterday, you could hear some of the players chirping each other at various times, and at one point Crosby was being told he was an "embarassment" over and over again. 100% accurate.

Crosby has the most fake persona of any player in the NHL. At least Ovechkin is pretty clear he's a douche bag. He's just like his daddy Lemieux, great hockey player but just the biggest baby ever. He didn't like hockey so he quit, awwwwwe, "give me my ball". Guess what, hockey survived without him and when he figured that out he came back and played.

Honestly, hockey would be better without Crosby because there will always be someone who is the best player in the world.

At least people don't wonder anymore why Crosby gets targeted and hit so much anymore. I would be willing to bet he gets knocked out again next year just because someone will take a shot at him.

You know what happens? LA becomes a feared team in the West IMO. They look solid from what I watched of them and physical and scary...

I'll be happy if the preds or LA makes it to the finals. I think I prefer the preds.

Pretty sure Lemieux retired because he had cancer.... and came back when he was healthy.

How about a Philly/LA final...the return of Richards and Carter. Now that would be something.

I'll happy if Ottawa makes it to the Final. Indifferent otherwise.

That wasn't his retirement. He retired (the first time) because of back issues, and this was *after* he battled Hodgkins. At the time he made allegations that he was retiring because opposition players would always target his backw ith cross checks and the league did nothing about it. He retired a second time when he missed a lot of the previous season with hip problems and then atrial fibrillation. He was also 40 and the Penguins stunk (10 game losing streak).

Do you also agree with the part where I forgot the word "be?"

That should give legs to the "Luongo to Toronto" rumours.

That could end up being a "quick" series...
