how about when Crosby started smashing his stick to the ice and kicking the air when London was dominating him in the Mem Cup?
to me, he looks like a suck
to me, nash at least shows he gets into the game
london (junior players) were able to shut down crosby
no team in the world was able to shut down nash at hte world champs
Crosby did have two points in the first game the teams played. Not scoring in the second game is certainly not meaningless, particularly because it was the final, but I mean, one game is one game. It can only be used to discredit so much.
There isn't a single player in the world who doesn't get frustrated. The kid slams his stick a few tims and he's a headcase...he has a bad game and shows no emotion he has no passing, what the hell will satisfy you?
The fact of the matter is the kid, and he is just a kid, has been under a brutal microscope for two years, and was dealing with the media before that even, and has handled himself remarkably well for a 17 year old kid. He's faced more scrunity in two years than most NHL players ever experience and he's dealt with everything very well. Attack what you want about his hype and all that, but I really fail to see how you can legitimately question his character.
