sydney crosby is one of the worst things to happen to the nhl since the two line pass rule was tossed. what the nhl needs is not another spoiled prima donna who gets overexposed by the media and over-protected by the officials, gretzky and lindros were enough. if you watch crosby, he's a good player...but that's it, a good player. that being said, i'm relatively certain my sister could score a few goals if she got as much official protection on the ice.

now, i don't have a problem with physical players...i think the league needs more contact not less. however, it drives me mad to see how he's only willing to get physical when he either knows the refs will protect him or he's decided its time to get a little dirty because he's on the verge of tears every time the pens are about to lose. i won't even get started on how he dives more than greg louganis. every time i hear about how much gary bettman loves to coddle and suckle little sid at his teet, it makes me wish that barry ashby could come back from the dead simply to rip wayne gretzky's arms off and use them to beat the life outta crosby. zombie ashby, that would be awesome.

although, sidney crosby is not completely bad as he has achieved something amazing that i really admire him for. he is the only person in the world, let alone the nhl, who could get me to wish that the detroit red wings would win one more stanley cup...
