Cindy is at it again! The soap opera continues with this pussy. After taking a hard hit in a game and stating "he felt good", he will sit out two games this week for precautionary reasons.

This guy is a plague for hockey. He is the most important player from a non-fan/casual fan perspective and all of the stories coming from this guy reflect badly on hockey. If the news carries a story on the NHL it is always about how dangerous hockey is and how rough and terribly unsafe it can be. Instead of focusing on what a great sport hockey is, we talk about how little Sydney has sand in her vagina.

Makes me sick that my beloved sport will soon turn into a no fighting, no hitting, bitch fest.

[adamo1018]

Oh my God at least someone else on this sure has some common sense. Fuk Crosby. He is a biitch!

[KegKosmo]

Haha greatest player in the world baby!!! Players shouldn't be allowed hitting this amazing hockey player... Bunch of haters you two are LMAO

[NHL Pro Capper]

You're an idiot. Crosby alone turned a bankrupt hockey club with tens of millions of debt into a half a BILLION dollar club in 5 years. The guy has won ever major trophy including a Olympic gold medal. It's not his decision to be taken out. It's the owners and the management that know how important he is to not only his club, but to the city and entire NHL. It's a business as well you peasant.

Stop hating on others. Just accept you're a worthless loser that could never amount to anything. Your life is pathetic and you wish you had a glimpse of what it would be like to be be him, or even some sort of athlete. The fact is you will never be. You are just another worthless loser that nobody knows or cares about. Suggest you stop hating on others and at least get a job at Walmart so you can buy a PS3, and NHL 2011 so you can be Crosby in the virtual world. Loser.

Seriously NHL terribad Capper stop projecting your life on others. Cindy needs to grow a pair or GTFO

[DennisGreen]

Super talented player, best pure talent since Gretzky I would say, but a bit of a baby and a whiner. See below

[NHL Pro Capper]

EVERY player swears and screams. Just cause they post a video of the best player doesn't mean others don't do it. That was also 3 years ago when he was barely in his 20's. He is a lot more mature now. You guys all hate him because he's destroyed your team.

Your trolls on me are pathetic too just like your lives. Bring it on. I know what I have. Look at my post and history and my screenshots of my $500 bets and 20k accounts. You guys are just sore losers. lol. Love seeing how you all troll me cause you're peasants.

[MikeFamous1]

Wow Crosby didn't ruin anything he took a year off and still came back the best that sounds lke the MJ of Hockey to me

[815Sox]

He annoys me and I think he is overrated. But to say he is ruining Hockey is idiotic. He is not responsible for the changes being made in the game. Like it or not, the average fairweather fan likes hockey that is closer to what we saw in the Olympics this year. I had tons of people, including lots of my female friends, calling me and talking to me about the hockey games in Van. The NHL is a for profit entity and they want the product to sell. The more fans that hockey brings in the better for all of us. More money equals better teams.

The slighty racist homophobic meathead hockey idiot is a dying group, they appear to be the ones most resistant to changes being made.

Crosby is a very skilled player, not matter how you feel about him. He had a major fing concussion, so he is being ultra paranoid. AS HE SHOULD BE. We are learning more and more about how damaging concussions are, especially multiple ones. I don't want to see anyone get hurt or develop severe mental illness. The players don't want this either, they want to be able to enjoy life after they retire, not suffer from depression and other issues. We had THREE players commit themselves this offseason because of damage from concussions.

Keep whining all you want, its not going change.

your schtick is pretty pathetic. learn some humility.

[gohabsgo]

crosby haters are mostly americans who have never played the game.
If you know hockey an played the game you gotta love crosby skills.

[gohabsgo]

Hockey is Canada game, so FOOCK OFF

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

I am Canadian, played the game at a high level, and despise Crosby and his antics. Disliking the player has nothing to do with saying he is or isn't highly skilled. Criticism of him has nothing to do with one's nationality (see Lundqvist's comments late in 2010 about Crosby diving against the Rangers).

Your post is nonsense-stop making us look silly and ignorant.

[Metatron]

For all those who blasted me (NHL Pro Capper, thank you for that rant), I am not calling into question Crosby's talent or skills. He is the best hockey player as far as scoring goes in the game today. If you actually read my post I also stated HE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER IN THE GAME TODAY AND MAKES THE SPORT RELEVANT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. This is not up for debate and I do think he is a wonderful talent.

My problem is he makes the game into a circus and complains about his health all the time. Do you think it is fair to fans that he stays out of games because he is not feeling well. How about all those tickets sold on the basis that the fans would see him lace up? Some will respond with "dude it's his health and he can do what he wants" but I will respond with the fact he is a professional hockey player that has a contractual obligation to play. "Not feeling right" is not being injured and you should go to work. Discounting the history of the NHL by saying "all the players were meat-heads" is not only ignorant, but disrespectful to the origins of the sport.

If you compare him to Gretzky or Lemieux who arguably had the same influence on the US and world hockey markets in their time, he is very different. Those two greats never tried to bitch out of things like this. Having your #1 player in the league act like the sport is too hard for him physically is extremely detrimental at all aspects of the sport. It makes the sport seem ultra dangerous and a "blood sport", two things the NHL has been trying to distance itself from for 20 years. This can be accomplished if top players (like in the NFL) embrace the physical nature of the sport and celebrate the aggressive component instead of shying away from it.

It would be like Tom Brady sitting out all season because he had a headache and didn't want to stand in the pocket, or he took off a meaningful game now and then just because he didn't "feel right".

[zandyman]

It's his brain, not a broken limb or the flu. Kinda different....

[face]

crosby's a fukking CHAMP!

[MikeFamous1]

Yea lets put an injured crosby in the game and watch him get wrecked and ruin his career for life honestly i know as a fan yea you want to see him out there, but would you care if he got wrecked in a game, and never recovered and just gone completely bust they are definitely taking the right steps heck they could sit crosby all season if they wanted with the way pittsburgh is playing and just bring em out in the playoffs to go for the cup

[Cicima6709]

People call Sid a whiner...its funny. Camera's are on him every damn minute. They catch every word he says. Add that in with the fact that peope love to hate, and its a perfect equation. Most players in the NHL whine, its what you have to do to draw calls. Every captain is always bitching to the refs, thats their job. Sid just gets photographed doing it 24/7 so it loooks bad.

I dont see how this is any different from the Canucks always staring at the refs everytime they get touched, expecting a penalty. the difference is Sid is the best player in the league since Mario, and hes going to get analyzed through a microscope. you are going to know every time he "dives" from every angle. When other players do it, who cares?

Its just sad so many people are this jealous. Why cant you just enjoy watching the guy? Best talent since Mario/Wayne...its just fun to watch. Everyone hates him, everyone tries to hurt him, and people can barely touch him on the ice. Its not often you get a 3rd liner work ethic with 1st line talent...Mario and Wayne didnt even have that.

Where are you getting your facts?

He hasnt complained about shit. He wants to play.

The team will not let him. The coach will not let him. The GM will not let him. The doctors will not let him.

The pens are being ridiculously cautiouswith Sid right now. How is that in ANY way his fault? There are a ton of interviews with him saying he wants to be out there, but Bylsma said they want him to rest 2 games just to make sure there arent any problems.

This has nothing to do with Sid being a pussy. This is just a franchise protecting their investment. You call it pussy? I call it smart managing.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

Its just sad so many people are this jealous.

it's funny that when someone can't understand something, they fall back on this as a crutch.

the rest of your post is a much of a joke as this passage is.

[malmstrom89]

Lol this is just an ignorant to say sh!t like this about Crosby. He will go down as one of the greatest players to ever play the game. I can understand if your american and you don't like the guy ( the gold medal goal in ot ) but he is far from a pussy. It's not his decision whether or not to play, it's the team doctors, concussions are a big deal, it isn't like a pitcher breaking a nail and not being able to pitch! Every great player has haters....because everyone hates to like the best. It's Better off if Crosby takes 2 weeks off instead of ruining his career and turns into the next Eric Lindros.

[815Sox]

Hockey is Canada game, so FOOCK OFF

Actually there is a bunch of influences that led to the creation of hockey, the native americans played a stick ball game as did many european nations. Field Hockey existed. Hockey is an international sport and the 5 remaning idiot hockey nationalist xenophobes can go cry with that POS Don Cherry.

[815Sox]

It's not his decision whether or not to play, it's the team doctors, concussions are a big deal,

Yes they are. Look what happend in the off-season. Three Hockey players committed suicide and concussions played a large role in the mental illness. We had a very revealing look at what Concussions did to Walter Payton. Obviously it has effects on boxers (Ali is walking proof).

We have seen what concussions due to our courageous servicemen and women and are finally acknowledging this... why should we expect those caused by sport to be any different?

I cannot stand Crosby, especially after that goal he scored against the US. He had a terrible tournament. I would have been much happier if it was someone like Toews that scored it (but would have preferred someone like Kane, Kesler, Gomez etc). But I don't want him to go risk himself just to try to please a bunch of meatheads calling him a "P*ssy". That is stuff that a 14 year old says.

Put yourself in his shoes, wouldn't you be ultra careful right now? If not, you are either lying or a moron.

good comeback.

im sure you'd be saying all this if Crosby was on your team too.
