What's up with Crosby?

[780il]

He looked good in the playoffs because flyers goalies can't stop a beach ball.

He looked good in the playoffs because thats what he does. Turns it up to 110% come the postseason. No wonder his playoff numbers are otherworldy.

 

[TheAngryHank]

He’s not playing as hard in the regular season so he can play better in the post season.

Did him loads of good last season

I mean yeah he was an animal out there vs. the Flyers.

 

[JPeeper]

The years of getting 100 points are over, he don't care anymore cause he has nothing more to prove. He'll be a PPG in the regular season and save himself for the playoffs and go Beast Mode like he did last year.

Mirin that swagger.

Saving himselft for playoffs

I love this meme.

 

[Optimist]

He's unhappy about something internal. He's not giving 100% in revenge.

What makes you think that?

 

[Bank Shot]

Bad coaching.

 

[Discordia]

Losing his hair. A lot of hockey players go through it when it happens. Knocks your confidence down a peg and you become depressed. Once he gives it the ol' messier he'll put up 120 again.

It's why I think Leafs have to be careful with Nylander. Once those locks are gone you can shave 20 points off his totals for at minium 2 seasons, more depending on how he deals with it.

Life hits harder than any adversary, and father time got some KO power that can shut your lights out.

It did. Look at his numbers. You know as well as I one player can't win for the whole team. Happened the two seasons before that and that worked out pretty good too.

Father Time catches up to all of us

Bergeron is 2 years older and off to a torrid start

 

[Midnight Judges]

So weird that Malkin and Kessel had far worse stats than Crosby. Did they get to face a different, better goalie when they stepped on the ice?

...Or could it be that Crosby just played at a really high level in the playoffs?

Malkin was injured. Kessel looked injured - something was off with him. He was so dangerous in 2016 and 2017.

 

[53or8]

He looked like an old goat in the game last night.His hockey sense is through the roof though he doesnt need speed only the right place at the right time.

 

[Evincar]

Bad coaching.

Uh oh. Not good for Sullivan.

 

[North Cole]

I love this meme.

It's not a meme dude. He played so much hockey, now hes fully rested. Lookout for the barn burners, he just needs a few more games of rest

If that's the case, Leafs' fans should be more worried about Auston Matthews. He's 20 (?) and the hairline is already challenged. I'm thinking Lex Luthor by 26.

 

[CanuckGame39]

5 games.

Space Jam monsters playing hockey now.

Matthews got Mexican dna. That hairline was painted on in the womb and hasn't moved an inch since. That shit is not going anywhere.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It's only 5 games. Also, players age.

 

[The Panther]

Matthews got Mexican dna. That hairline was painted on in the womb and hasn't moved an inch since. That **** is not going anywhere.

You could be right. My Dad's hairline was receding when he was 20 and got married. Now, 48 years later, it hasn't moved a millimeter. (But my Dad's not Mexican.)

How do I get into an argument with you every time you post?

Crosby is finished at an elite level IN THE REGULAR SEASON. Concussed too much.

If it wasn't so comical i'd have you on ignore.

The whole team torched Elliot ,congrats!

 

[Optimist]

Actually I was talking to a friend today who has some pro hockey experience and also happens to be a die hard Pens fan. This was his opinion and I'm just going with it.
