FLYERS!

So sad to see that bastion of all that is good Zac Rinaldo get booted, and the monk-in-training Wayne Simmonds. I don’t understand why the refs were calling penalties on the Cryers tonight, because we know it’s all the Penguins fault, and they are the bad guys. 75% of what I hear from Flyers fans is anti-Crosby and anti-Malkin bullshit (and a lot of anti-LeTang and Adams and Neal now). I would love to hear a Cryers fan praise guys like Giroux or Briere (even though Briere has his ass attached to the refs much more than Crosby), yet they are fixated on anti-Crosby rhetoric. Sad.

Oh, and if they beat the Pens, and the long odds are that they will, they aren’t going anywhere with two goalies as porous as swiss cheese.

Nah, it’s 100% anti-Crosby really. Weakest captain to ever play the game. I was a better captain on my 10 yr old hockey team, which looking back we had the same jerseys as the Penguins. I should really burn those.

Umm....you didnt hear any complaining about penalty calls here tonight. The flyers played without discipline. Simple as that. The fact that Mario Lemiuex was embarassed by his teams lack of discipline doesnt mean you have to be but tell me why its "bullshit" to a) dislike any penguin "i dont like him. I dont like any guy on his team." Or b) any guy who takes two headshots at our guys in one shift? You love crosby because hes your star. We get it. We dont like him because hes the most whiney, unsportsmanlike captain in all the NHL. You’ll say something like "oh you would be chippy too if every guy on the ice was after you every night." You think somebody isnt after evey captain or star every night!? Hes no different but gets treated as such...thats why people dislike him. Hes got more skill than anyone in the game and tarnishes it with a disgusting unsportsmanlike attitude and a penchant for slewfooting. And malkin isnt much better with his spears and hooks. You dont have to call a spade a spade...but dont waste time insulting others. And i wont bother with footage to back this up...watch the first 3 games of the series again.

We’ll agree to disagree, and that’s cool. Personally, I’m OK with the Asham suspension, but I’m sure what he did was at least in part due to the cheap cross-check by Schenn on Sid near the end of the regular season. Hockey tends to police itself on those types of plays, and Schenn needed to be taught a lesson. He’ll think twice about pulling that crap in the future. It does bug me that Rinaldo did a similar punching thing last night and wasn’t suspended. As for Crosby, he can’t win. If he backs down from a fight, he’s a pussy. If he fights, he’s a punk cheap shot artist. Personally, I’d love to see the Penguins sign an enforcer like Marty McSorley to beat the shit out of anyone who goes near Sid, like Edmonton used to do with Gretzky, and especially after the two cheap shot concussions/neck injuries Sid has had. As for Sid, he’s one of the best players the game has ever seen at age 24, is a humanitarian who does a lot for kids in Pittsburgh, and nothing anyone says can change that. I just see it as far more productive for Flyers fans to praise guys like Giroux, Jagr, and Max Talbot instead of fixating on Crosby. We Pens fans don’t sit around and insult guys like Claude Giroux and the Sedin brothers and Steve Stamkos. We respect them, even when we play them. And enough with the Crosby being a dirty player crap. It’s ludicrous. 99% of the time he’s the one being slashed or hooked or punched after he scores a goal.

First of all, we do praise our players. Its ludicrous to think any fan doesnt. I notice you conveniently missed the part where crosby gave schenn a couple cheap shots in the corner right before schenn lightly cross checked him from behind. Schenns check was retaliation for crap play from crosby. And crosby isnt a pussy because he doesnt fight...hes a pussy because he takes shots at players, mouths off at them, and then wont take his medicine. So many pens fans are all the same...all they see is his talent and think he can do no wrong. Want more proof besided recent games...youtube search "crosby slewfoot calahan" and tell me thats not as dirty as can be. A slewfoot at that speed can end a career...but im sure that mean old nasty calahan is a bad man and deserved it. Yeah...agree to disagree. Try watching some hockey.

I live in Phila, play mens league hockey and wear number 87. I rep Cros out here. People focus on the early cros years like they do the early broad street bully years. Its just pure misconception and stupidity. Sids legit; and the Flyers play skilled hockey at a hight level..we also have a black president in office. Shits wild.
