I have it on good authority that this is what doing two girls at the same time must feel like. lol it really shoudlnt be worth more than a fine or a game, but it is probably nothing. the last three things have been all over the fucking place. tay tay's suspension was kinda bogus imo. he didnt stick that knee out. shouldnt have been more than a fine bc he has to control that shit. plus clutterbuck is a little fucker so who cares. mcdonugh got cheapshotted to shit by max pax with a flying elbow to the back of the head and not even a call. that was mind boggling. people really wanted that minny wild player to get one after he lit up stajan. but stajan is also an idiot who had the guy right in front of him and chose to admire a pass and ate shoulder to the grill. stajan constantly gets lit up and is a known flopper too, so im sure that helped there | ||

That isn't true at all. The star players get more media attention while they're out because of their contributions. There are a lot of blue collar guys who are in the rough because they're expected to play rough. I wouldn't just look at the present either because it's always been an issue which you alluded to. The League doesn't punish properly. That's a given. That's why I don't mind the old school days where teams enforced players themselves and you didn't see as much dumb shit back then because there were fewer teams and more talent per roster. It wasn't too long ago that we had the clutch and grab era of hockey and this is where Jimmy comes in to say increase the size of the rinks! -.- On March 02 2013 00:28 QuanticHawk wrote: people really wanted that minny wild player to get one after he lit up stajan. but stajan is also an idiot who had the guy right in front of him and chose to admire a pass and ate shoulder to the grill. stajan constantly gets lit up and is a known flopper too, so im sure that helped there That would be one of Stajan's old tricks. | ||

I guess this is where I make the admission i don't see him as an elite level player. Yes hes a great player and an amazing offensive threat and I won't take that from him, but I find his lack of a high level defensive game rather disturbing for a center that gets the hype he does. If I would to compare him to another center of similar age in Toews I'd take Toews over Crosby. Yes They are both amazing players in their own right, but I see Toews as a more complete center with the complete 2 way package and seems to be a better leader on his respective team on both ends of the ice. | ||

Toews is amazing and I can see where you're coming from. However, I wouldn't say that Crosby is that bad defensively. He's still +9 where Toews is +10 (for how much the +- stat even matters, necessarily). Certainly he isn't so bad that you'd have to drop him out of elite level status. I mean, would you consider Stamkos an elite player? I think you can debate that Crosby isn't the BEST player, but not elite seems to be stretching it a bit. | ||

Stamkos is the most under-rated 60 goal scorer ever. He is absolutley an elite level player. | ||

But how much do you see Crosby on the PK? +/- is a very skewed stat especially if you compare Toews vs Crosby. Towes is at a +10 with only 18 points vs Crosby at +9 with 34 points. To me that says Crosby is a defensive liability on the ice and while hes definitely a greatly gifted offensive player and extremely elite in that regard his defensive game is lacking with is kinda disappointing to me considering all the massive media hype and talk about being the best player in the game right now. I honestly believe it the Pens told him he needs to step up the defensive side of his game he could become a more complete 2-way player. What if Crosby was getting 10-20 less points a season but had 10-30 more blocked shots and was a key part of the PK? Crosby is an elite offensive player in a 2-way position. To me its kinda contradictory its like an offensive defenseman. | ||
