You lost all credibility when you stated Crosby is in the top 15-20.

[yisman]

Isles are worth a bet at +234.

Based on this post I doubt you have ever watched him play. And if you have you have no idea what you are watching.

crosby is not top 10,i can EASILY name 10 better players

[VegasDave]

crosby is not top 10,i can EASILY name 10 better players

Please do

[hockeytown11]

Ovechkin,Malkin,Datsyuk,Zetterberg,Iginl ia,Lacavlier,Lidstrom,Hossa,Richards,Car ter theres 10 better than Crosby and it took about 3 mins worth of thought,I can come up with more I am sure.

[yisman]

at the people who have developed such a hatred of Crosby that they've convinced themselves he isn't good.

"Iginlia"? Hossa? Is this some kind of joke? Maybe that's what passes as "thought" for you.

"Iginlia" is 10 times better than Crosby? Hossa? Is this some kind of joke?

It's unbelievable. Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, this guy can't be serious. I never understood the hatred people have towards him.

[hockeytown11]

I didnt say any of them were :ten" times better,I said I can EASILY name ten players better,never said he wasnt good he just isnt top 10 and if you think Iginlia isnt better you dont watch hockey or you live in PITT one of the two.

[hockeytown11]

and yes Carter and Richards are BOTH better

If you think Hossa, Lidstrom, and Datsyuk are better than Sid you eitehr don't watch hockey or live in Detroit. See I can do it too.

[element1286]

and yes Carter and Richards are BOTH better

In what respect??

[hockeytown11]

Crosby sure did prove that last year

[wild willy]

you just wasted three min of your life giving us 8 guys that are great but not better then crosby.

[element1286]

Crosby sure did prove that last year

Hockey is a team game. They don't call it hockeytown because the people that live there know what they are talking about, that is for sure.

[VegasDave]

Ovechkin,Malkin,Datsyuk,Zetterberg,Iginl ia,Lacavlier,Lidstrom,Hossa,Richards,Car ter theres 10 better than Crosby and it took about 3 mins worth of thought,I can come up with more I am sure.

That is a lot of Red Wings

[hockeytown11]

because Gary Bettman says he is good and puts him on every NHL related ad he is not top 10 sorry,funny how PITT played its BEST hockey last year when he was out and it was MALKINS team

[yisman]

I watch hockey and I don't live in Pittsburgh, nor have I ever lived anywhere near Pittsburgh. I think I've proven my knowledge of hockey via the best bets threads and the contest threads.

I think you watch hockey but you've developed such an irrational hatred of Crosby that you can't admit he's an elite player.

[hockeytown11]

If you think Datsyuk and Zetterberg arent better than Crosby then you really are clueless,100 point seasons arent needed when you play with the greatest teams ever assembled,Datsyuk and Zetterberg could name the amount of points they wanted to put up if they were on a weak 1 line team like Pitt,Mlakin and Crosby were invisable last year when it mattered,why? Because Zetterberg and Datsyuk owned them both,if you say anything different ur in serious DENIAL

[yisman]

Crosby sure did prove that last year

Yeah, Crosby took a very young team to the Stanley Cup Finals last year in his third season, at the ripe old age of 21. None of the guys on your list did that, unless you want to argue Malkin is better than Crosby. He's the only one you could really argue.

[wild willy]

Yes every one knows crosby and so do other teams who keep a close eye on his every movement.

Yep if it weren't for bettman that bum wouldn't even crack the 2nd line on my beer leauge team.

Every time the kid recieves an award he should rightfully hand it over to gary.

Malkin and Crosby play on different lines.

[hockeytown11]

Quit putting words in my mouth,I NEVER said Crosby wasnt an elite player I just said I can name 10 as good or better and I did,He is a top 15 player for sure but top 5 isnt even debatable,Hossa,Zetterberg,Datsyuk,Ovech kin and Malkin are top 5.

[VegasDave]

A 100 point rookie season and a 120 point sophomore year, and averaging 1.37 points per game career, Gary Bettman has little to do with my opinion of the guy as a hockey player.

[element1286]

It's pretty much Malkin, Crosby, and Ovechkin (in any order you want), and the rest.

[hockeytown11]

Malkin and Crosby play on different lines.

Duh,and last year in the finals the Wings split Z and Dats and thus Malkin and Crosby were MIA

[element1286]

So people from Pittsburgh who put Crosby in the top 5 are biased yet you have three Wings in there. I think you are more clueless than Deuce.

[VegasDave]

Fact.

[hockeytown11]

Datsuk and Zetterberg are BOTH MUCH better than Crosby,period,its not even a debate.

The more you say it doesn't make it true.

[VegasDave]

You are right about the not debatable part.

Any fun Kings trade rumors Dave?
