Bottom line, Crosby is a classy player, Obitchkin is a showboat
Obitchkin deliberately takes 10 strides away from a play to purposefully attack players, and goes after their heads. Yes he's a great goal scorer, but I believe there's another russian leading the scoring race right now for the second year in a row
I respect alex's ability to score goals, however I hate dirty hockey players, and anyone that runs guys constantly attempting to injure them by raising hands and sticks to the face, back or back of the head does not get my respect. Sid put it well in an interview yesterday when he said that Obitchkin plays with no respect for other players, which is evident by his endless attempts to injure other players. He gets no respect as a player from me for that

Give me a fucking break.

Truth hurts, if I really followed Hockey other than what the Caps do, I could show you many times Crobsy has tried to do something and backed down as soon as the other person came out at him.
I think of him as Hockey's Bill Lambert.

I found the "What a GREAT CLASSY PLAYER video" that Crosby is. Pounding on the guy when he's on the ground and throwing punches at the guys nuts. Again a player that was ALREADY on the ground.

chips and smokes, lets go
On the other hand, I don't think there is any arguing that Ovechkin is the best and most exciting player right now. Hockey fans that say they don't like him are lying. He's great for the game.

I'm not busting balls I'm just saying it was a horrible example, at no point did he back down from Ovy or look for his other teammates.

For him to bitch that Ovie is taking 10 paces and still hitting, is effing whining. (Didn't hear a whistle that it's not Hockey). It's not being a teammate for someone to hit someone whiles he's down in the back of the head or swinging for the family business from behind when the player is already fighting someone.

If you ever ventured out of Hockey Talk and the Pool thread you might have a chance.
Your Gamble thread got bumped last week. Great shit. You need to focus on more like those.
02-23-2009, 06:42 PM
This goes back to a few weeks ago, the whining done by Gwens fans, that the Caps are playing dirty and then Crosby on TV crying that it's not called for to play that way and he fucking does it as well, hell worse.
I know it's Hockey, I've watched the game since 1980, I know the great games that the Caps and Gwens have played in the last 29 yrs. They always played hard, it was harder years ago, before some of you were born or even knew what a hockey puck was. The Caps are giving back and the Gwens fans can't take it.

Interesting. Interesting.
I honestly think fdl probably died. There's no way you can just stop logging on here one day and never show up again at all. Not even a peep. Not after posting as much as that guy did.
I'm so convinced of it that I tried looking up people with initials fdl in the Toronto newspaper obituaries from last Feb. No luck. He must have been in a car accident or something.

Actually, so do I. He was great, and not just in this thread.
At first I thought maybe he and his wife had a kid or something. But the fact that he doesn't even respond to his private e-mail address really has me thinking something bad happened.
If you do a google search on his private e-mail address you'll see that his posts on other forums (photography, etc.) all ceased around the same time as AZ.

That doesn't bother me. It's the whining that their Golden Boy isn't getting the Golden treatment, and it's OK for the Golden Boy to it back not have it done back to him.

Nightmares?
02-23-2009, 06:48 PM
It's not nightmares, I loved those games, of course the Caps weren't on the winning end of most. But Mario wasn't the whiny bitch that Crosby is, he put his game on the ice and let it do his talking.
DC was never a Hockey City, never had an owner that knew how to run a team, he was a basketball guy that was given a team for peanuts. He let some stupid ass woman run the team. Just look at the Bullets.. Wizards whatever, they suck and will always suck. We know have an owner who gives a damn about the team.

You know Crosby lives with Lemiuex? Has since his rookie year.. Is this where all the hatred stems from?
02-23-2009, 06:52 PM
No I didn't know that. Why would I care?
All I'm saying is shut the fuck up and play hockey, if a plenty isn't called then the game clock is still running.

Then at least Jaromir Jones and I could team up.
Until then, please enjoy this reel of goals from a Russian who somehow plays like a Canadian. Sidney Jagr should have his eyelids taped open and watch this over and over and over...

But, fdl had nothing to do with his name. That stood for something entirely unrelated. I wish I knew his last name.

Ovechkin is awesome b/c not only can he score, but he's a great hitter. i wish more players could do both.
as for Crosby, he has loads of talent, but i'd like him a lot more if he didn't complain so much
