The real question is: why did teenaged Crosby get more hate than teenaged Kane?
and it's a mystery.
and it's a mystery.
Because he ran his mouth as a teen, but backed it up.
People nowadays are just delusional. He doesn't whine and hasn't for YEARS. He runs his mouth when people challenge him, but trolls consider it whining. However, when someone else does it, they're being a bad ass or in Toews case, "A STRONG LEADER"
He gets a bad reputation for something he did as a child.
He had a right to. I couldn't believe how much cross checking, etc Oshawa was getting away with on him. They had to drape 2-3 guys on him every time he was in close.
Yep.Just quoting this because it's probably the best post in this thread.
Also, I hope one day that people who call Crosby a whiner realize that they are in fact, constantly whining about Crosby.
What player in the NHL doesn't whine and dive? McDavid hasn't even played in the league yet. No one cared what Crosby was doing before he got to the league. We have to wait and see what will happen when McDavid gets in the league, the same thing could happen to him that happened to Crosby, maybe not, we don't know yet. Crosby's in the spotlight other players are not, therefore nobody pays enough attention to them to be bothered by them.I don't hear Crosby called a diver or a whiner much anymore despite how many times people want to be his knight in shining armor on here.
He whined, he dove, people didn't like him. I haven't heard/seen McDavid whining or diving so he doesn't get the reputation. Shocking, isn't it?
Because he is whiny as hell, throws cheap shots together with his buddy Malkin and instantly dives if someone as much as breathes on him. His skill doesn't matter, when his attitude is terrible. Same combination as Subban (minus the whining, he only throws cheap shots and turtles/ dives) and that's why he's not particulary liked either.
Because Crosby was better than mcdavid and destroyed the q those 2 years he played in it. Also every team had a shot at him that year, plus there was no eichel in his draft for the team that got 2
Why did the teenaged Crosby get more hate than McDavid is getting now?
people were jealous of him. Normal hockey every day hockey fans were mad at him because Gretzky believes he can be better then him, and said He can break some of his records. that didn't go well for some reason , and since then people wanted him to fail.
the diving and whinning is an excuse they are using to slam him.
what are they going to say" "I hate him for nothing?" they are using the whinning and diving as a weapon.
So do they really have valid reason to accuse of him diving? hell no, there are players that do that all that time, yet they are getting away with it. Dustin Brown is a notorious diver.
anyways, one thing I also know, your not hated for no reason. Your probably the best to be this badly hated or one of the best. For example, non hockey related. Apple inc.
New England Patriots?
Sidney crosby.

The jealousy angle is flat out stupid.
The idea that he is hated because he's better than most players other teams have makes no sense. We don't see that sort of hatred for several other star players, despite the fact that according to that logic, people should be "jealous" they don't have them.
Where's the pile of hate for Lidstrom, for instance? Shouldn't he have been tailed by super jelly haters?
The jealousy angle is just a cheap cop-out by people who don't like their star player being disliked.
