And that's why Ovechkin....

He should have been suspended ya dope. But in reality, the O'Reilly groin shot was nothing compared to a head shot. Again, he should have been suspended. And you are acting a little melodramatic regarding Methot's finger. He barely hit the dude on his finger, but apparently right in the perfect spot. It was ugly for sure, but it wasn't a cheap play, just an unfortunate one.

And you expect outrage from Penguins fans over that? Outrage from Ottawa would have made sense. I think the emotion from Pens fans would be relief and a little bit of shame.


He is the biggest cheap shot artist since Bobby Clarke. Except Clarke never cried the way the baby does.

Yeah, seems incidental :rolleyes:

This seemed incidental as well. . .

That has nothing to do with this event. You can play that game forever. It was a cheap shot done in desperation because the Caps were about to be eliminated.

Of course all the Pens cheap shots are done for altruistic reasons. What a bunch of great guys!!
 
As if that means Crosby wasn't intentionally targeted last night. If you want to discuss something completely different, maybe you should start a thread about it.

I am a Pens fan and really don't see an issue with Niskanen. He was in a tough spot. The trip by Ovechkin had Crosby falling. He and Niskanen collided. It would have been nice if the stick was down but that fast it happens. 5 and a game misconduct was probably enough.

Ovechkin is more problematic. He is one of the king's of the slew foot. To me the slew foot and knee to knee hits are the two most dangerous things you can do on the ice.

never said that. I don't think I've watched an entire hockey game all season. I did catch parts of two or three games of the Pens or Blue Jackets. Fact is, it was a dirty foul. I don't care what Cosby or anyone else did in 1987 or whatever. A dirty foul is a foul. One that takes out a super star is even worse. The league must address this and soon. Its a goon league if they don't and the skill of the game is lost.

You just only seem to complain about it when it's against the Pens.

Maybe I'm wrong, though. Were you equally outraged when Crosby was committing dirty fouls? Could you point me to those posts?

Hahahhahahahaa this is great. Because a guy (Obli) is being objective rather than being weak letting his emotions of fandom control is thoughts, you guys think Obli is a Pens fan! Hahaha!

Sorry, but he's not.

I don't give a crap what he is or what you are.

You do sound like a whiny Pittsburgh fan, though. Am I wrong?

Well, it's kinda key to your argument. You're trying to make a point that he's biased as a Pens fan. And that is funny.

Yeah, it's hilarious. My sides are splitting.

Never did I say he was a Pens fan. If I did, please point it out.

What's with all the "LOLOLOLOLOL" and "Hahahhahahahaa"? Are you a teenager? because I've never seen an adult doing that.
 
Says the one who's been whining this whole thread. Geez, give it up already...we get it - you don't like Pittsburgh or Crosby.

Not whining. Don't care either way about Pittsburgh or Crosby. Not even watching the series It's the whiny Pittsburgh fans on this thread (and others) that I'm addressing.

Football, hockey, baseball seasons, all I see is whining about how unfair your team is being treated. It gets kind of old, year in and year out.

Yeah, I'm a teenager -- And I'm literally laughing out loud at you (and that other poster who can't control his jealousy/emotion and is posting angry).

The dude is a bit of a douche. He can talk all he wants about us "whining" but if he hates the Pens so much, why even read the thread.
 
Ovechkin's right leg taking out Sid's left foot is the reason for all this. Dangerous play via an illegal action at the wrong time.

Niskanen hit was going to be late regardless, but I don't think it was going to blow Sid up, but rather 'body' his backside. Sid fell and opened up to Matt as a result of the slewfoot.
 
Pretty accurate summary, one of the best if not the best hockey player in the world was hit in the head by two different opposing players with solid sticks and the NHL will do nothing of consequence. One of them is still playing in this game. This is why hockey is only slightly above roller derby as a sport.

Its a garbage league. Why cross checks are allowed period, let alone shots to the head, is beyond me. Say what you want about the NFL going to far the other way, but you hit guys in the head, there are consequences. The refs were horrible in that game.

Let me tell you, knowing what we now know, if Cosby ever suffers from CTE, his heirs will OWN the NHL.

Bingo! And you can watch, not only did he put his leg out and leave it there, he stretched to make sure it hit him.

And yet when the baby hacked off a guy's finger, did he even get a penalty? Amazing the tunnel vision Pittsburgh fans have. But this is nothing new. Worst fans in all of sports, and yes, that includes Philadelphia.
So this post, and the various other histrionic posts you have submitted in this thread, is just "disagreeing with him[/them]?" OK. LOL...

Just tired of the double standard, that's all. Sid can do what he wants and to whom and that is ok, but he gets hit, and it's a debatable hit, and the Pen fans are all up in arms. Look, if you want to dish it out, be ready to take it. You can't go around using your stick as a weapon and then cry when you get hit. Man up or shut up.

its not a "debatable hit". Sad you can't see that.
 
Crosby's head is at waist level in that picture and he was falling into him. Very well may have been incidental.
Haha right. Except for his concussion. The sky is green. Please also tell me how Crosby took a dive so he could miss multiple playoff games. Sorry, but reality proves you wrong.
 
I'm guessing you can't be serious. Crosby is the biggest cheap shot pussy in the league, protected by the refs. This did not look like it was intentional, unlike crosby's slash last month when he whacked off half a guys finger. I hope they hit the big cry baby a few more times
He always said, "when in doubt, flop it out", just bad timing.

What the hell are you talking about? What a jackassical response that was.
I said nothing about Crosby taking a dive. I said nothing about him having a concussion. Delusional thinking to read that into what I said.
I said his head is at waist level in that picture where he is getting hit in the head because he is falling into Niskanen. Honestly, it looked to me like Crosby was about out on his feet (skates) after he got hit in the back of the head from Ovechkin's stick.

Whine....Crosby...whine...Pittsburgh...whine!!!

See what I mean?
 
Seriously?


Were you watching the Pens-Caps game?



Here ya' go - ICYMI:

Go to about the 1:00 mark.

Ovechkin whacks Crosby on the right shoulder with the stick - then gives him a Pop to the left side of Crosby's head on the way by - - - which is what initially got Crosby off balance before Niskanen gave him the cross check to the face.

1:07 mark of the video - to be more precise.
Two-hander with the stick to the back of the head - Crosby was 1/2 way out before he ever got to Niskanen's cross check.

Ovechkin has always been a cheap-shot pussy.

I'm not a big fan of the "goon" era in the NHL.

But it's guys like Ovechkin who make one think it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a "goon" on each team.

If he knew he was gonna get a stick to the chops, he may be less likely to pull his bush league crap.

Sistito may dress for tomorrow night, in which case, he'll be getting a right cross to his head, about 2 minutes into the game.
