I knew this thread would be full of "But remember when Crosby did..." kindergarten nonsense. Never change, HF, never change.
Shall we go into how Penguins fans kept bringing up Crosby’s stat line against the Isles and how he’s going to pick them apart on his own? That’s allowed to be ignored in this case but all his diving and cheap shots aren’t? For years, the Penguins as a team were given the benefit of the doubt due to the golden boy no matter what. He wasn’t even suspended for trying to take off Methots finger which was blatant but ignored due to who he is. He plays hard but also plays chippy.I knew this thread would be full of "But remember when Crosby did..." kindergarten nonsense. Never change, HF, never change.
LOL Pens fans... When one of your players do it then it's fine but when it's an opponent, it's "NeVeR cHaNgE hF, nEvEr ChAnGe"...I knew this thread would be full of "But remember when Crosby did..." kindergarten nonsense. Never change, HF, never change.
Why these guys don't wear cups is beyond me.
He was hitting people? Did Cizikas and your 4th line have no hits in that series? I counted a few.
But the point was that you said he doesn't play like that. Yes, he does. That wasn't an accident.

I think you'd be better off without Wilson living in your head for free.
5 years ago, Quenneville got a bigger fine for grabbing his testicles during a bench rant than Lucic did for cup checking Dekeyser. I doubt it would be any different today. Perhaps if the league actually punished this garbage with real repercussions, the players would stop doing this.
It can be hypocritical indeed but since Crosby has already done it before, this is the reason why you won't find any people here who will be outraged by this. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Or karma if you prefer.Did I say it was fine when Crosby did it? The entire mentality of "But he did..., so we won't care that he is on the receiving end now" is childish and nonsensical. Not to mention hypocritical, if Crosby had done the same the thread about it would be at least 30 pages by now.
brooks orpik did this to jordan martinook in game 3 of our series too
Of course they do. Still, cups won't eliminate all pain. As a former catcher, that foul tip between the legs hurt like hell even with the cup. Without the cup, I wouldn't have kids now.

You aren't allowed to say that, in ten minutes tops some Caps fanswill find a clip of Martinnok doing something bad and claim he was asking for it.
2 of these instances is more than 99% of the NHL players in this era have had in their careers. Yes, that makes him a dirty player.
I don't think he's looking to injure someone. It's still a gutless move to do.
