Crosby vs the flyers (crosby is too good for this league)

[Tom Hanks]

If the Flyers stay out of the box it should be competitive. The Pens were the worst 5v5 team in the regular season to make the playoffs.

If you take it from the start of 2018 we are one of the best though.

Maybe they will relocate the whole city to Kansas? Especially with the incoming down years in sports.

Or maybe they will triple the # of cups the Flyers have with a championship this year..

Eh, first off not likely.

Second, the pens have been massively lucky to get Crosby and Malkin one go around and Mario and Jagr the other. Even if they did tank. I imagine Malkin going to the caps and ov going to the pens means less cups to the pens. Possibly even no cups. For example we finished last and lost the lottery for Kane who beat us in the finals and took
JVR who is no Malkin. It’s an embarrassment of riches that came to good luck.

The flyers however have had bad luck. Lindros was the next one. He certainly would have won cups with better health. One of his big injuries came in the playoffs. And we paid a shit load for him. Pronger lead us to a cup final. We traded a lot for him and likely traded Richard and carter bc of him and then his career ended. Primeau almost lead us to a cup himself and then he got a concussion.

So the pens got extremely lucky while we lost Lindros, Pronger, and Primeau to career ending concussions. I’d say things could have been at least a cup different. And usually luck evens out so i would bet it will be different in time.

So lucky that it’s the 1st time Crosby plays 82 games in a RS...

Injuries are bad luck to everyone...

Haha don’t even start...

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Don’t worry I’m not gonna start anything... It’ll take hours to go through all the injuries Pens players had in recent years

*sniffle*

Such a tale of woe.

I commend you for summoning the strength each morning to rise from what one must only assume is a bed of nails and consume your daily bowl of gruel ... While those dastardly undeserving SOB's from across the state spring from their slumber each day to bright sunshine and the melodious sound of harps strumming gently in the background.

You are truly heroic. The struggle is real.

This series needs to start already haha

 

[GirouxCouturier]

Just glad we have the best player in the series this year

Haha ok. I think you missed the context, point, words - I think you missed the whole damn thing. Either that or you’re trying to be funny/obnoxious. Either way it’s sad. I’m sad for you now, on my bed of nails. Thoughts and prayers.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Just glad we have the best player in the series this year

you also have the best molester in the series.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Big Dick Nick playing goal?

 

[GirouxCouturier]

Guy parties

 

[TheAngryHank]

you also have the best molester in the series.

Crosbys nut punch > ass grab IMHO.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Crisbys nut punch > ass grab IMHO.

no one cares about your humble opinion tho hank...

 

[GordieHowsUrBreath]

You called Draper a cry baby and he has 4 ,So using your very own logic he is more manly than Your boy Mario and your boy Sid.
I can live with thst.

what exactly is the argument for giroux being twice the man of crosby? that's my point, he has nothing over crosby in his career

and yes draper is a cry baby and a role player at best, not a guy claimed to be the best in the world like claudia

 

[GordieHowsUrBreath]

I’d say Giroux is doing perfectly fine.

fine at what? i'm still waiting for a legit reason for him being twice the man of crosby

 

[TheAngryHank]

no one cares about your humble opinion tho hank...

That hurts my feelings.

 

[GordieHowsUrBreath]

That hurts my feelings.

LIAR

 

[TheKingPin]

....It was a joke, like your handle, so you’ll be waiting for sometime. I don’t really care who is more of a man.

And Giroux is fine at hockey. That’s no joke.

 

[Doodootheclown]

I’d say the pride was a career high in goals, assists, and points, hopefully an MVP...at 30. He may end his career as the best flyer of all time. I wouldn’t hang my hat on the number of cup victories either. That’s like making fun of elderly, eventually it’ll be you.

As good as he is, he won't be the best Flyer of all time.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Just glad we have the best player in the series this year

Playoffs are different than RS.

 

[93gilmour93]

Isnt flyers the team crosby has feasted on the most throughout his career?

And this series will be no different....

 

[The Shovel Penguin]

Pens also have 3 players in the top 10 for scoring this year. So I'm not sure how "Giroux is the best player" as the league's 2nd best scorer in this series really holds a lot of water when there's a 4th (with the same PPG), 8th and 10th best on the other team.

There's plenty of other problems the Pens have but that's not really one of them, not on paper anyway.

 

[CanuckistanFlyerfan]

you also have the best molester in the series.

Sorry but I'd have to say Crosby going after a mans "jewels" on more than one occasion...SOBER...makes him the "best molester" in any series.
