  You’re entitled to your opinion as far as fans go, but my guess is that Santa Claus would disagree. (and will prob check his list a third time to sort out the Philly fan scum)

  As for Crosby- I’d agree that in his rookie season he was a bit of a whiner… I can say that today it’s a completely different story. Remember he entered the league at 18… So you could argue that You might see some high school like behavior. Not an excuse, just an observation that he’s lost that additude as he’s matured

  I’m not going to even touch the diving / integrity of the game comment. A Philly fan who states Crosby is hurting the integrity of the game is sort of like David Hasselhoff calling Crosby a drunk.

  I want my kids to learn sportsmanship from Crosby. I hope they grow up to break expensive sticks because things aren’t going their way, like men do.

  Things Crosby didn’t do to become a finalist for the Mark Messier Leadership Award:

  1. Throw snowballs at Santa Claus

  2. Bang Ginger Hartnell’s wife

  3. Intentionally puke on any kids

  7. Boo a hand transplant recipient

  8. Kill a fan over a spilled beer

  …your argument against Crosby is pretty lame. It’s not like he tried to bite someone’s finger off… He’s playing hockey.
  And I think you missed the point here- Sure we hate the flyers. But we hate their fans even more. Apparently for good reason.

  You forgot my all time favorite… Philly snowball fight

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2isksLw0jW8

  I agree Philly fans can be dicks, it’s on full display in the snowball fight video. I grew up in Erie as a Philly fan and to say that Philly fans are worse than Pittsburgh fans is just ludicrous. They are on all accounts equally bad, accents included. Both cities have historically, and current great programs and the passionate fans that go with it.

  You do have to admit he takes a lot of dives though. He is a premier hockey player and it looks like he can barely skate sometimes. It is just plain out cheating. Not on par with a typical penalty. He is trying to decieve the officials, it just removes integrity from the game. I know some Flyers take dives, but Crosby is the captain of the team and like it or not the face of the NHL and I feel it is important he play with integrity for both those reasons. Let the jokers on your team take dives if that is part of the strategy, Crosby should just play hockey and lose the bitching at the refs schtick.

  This is still the cheapest play I’ve ever seen. Your golden boy is a diving, whining player.

  Take a look at some of these clips and then tell me he is not the most unsportsmanlike player in the game. Diving is on par with steroids, except it makes yourself look like a weak pansy instead of actually making yourself a better player.

  Enjoy the time off Pens.

  It really is the fans. I don’t like Hartnell’s antics either, but really, if the fans weren’t so bad I think I could tolerate the Flyers a little more. My friends and I spent a night in Philly over spring break in Pens shirseys – Fleury, Crosby, Guerin and Talbot. We were kicked out of stores, booed on the streets and challenged to fights. We responded in homage to Max and just “shhhh”ed them all.

  There was a kid next to me after a Pens/Flyers game at the Igloo waiting for autographs later that month. He was in a Flyers shirt, standing with his dad. A guy behind me looked at him and then said to me, “It’s alright – he still has time to learn what good hockey is and how to act at games.” I wish that this statement wasn’t so true. Class doesn’t go out of style. Maybe Flyers fans should remember that. Even the players should. I witnessed Hartnell and Carcillo flip off the Pens fans as the bus pulled away. Hopefully the hockey gods teach them a lesson in the Final.

  Go Hawks.

  Don’t care much about Hossa losing since he screwed Detroit just like he did us. The fact that Chicago is paying him almost 8 million a season and he only has 2 goals in 16 playoff games, thats priceless.

  Don’t forget that philly fans intentionally vomit on 11 year olds too.
  Go blackhawks!

  I agree with a lot of your points. Hossa hatin’ is so last year. And, even before that, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. He based his decision on going to Detroit because Therrien was still the coach. Who’d have thought that we’d get a new coach that would lead us to Lord Stanley?

  As for the Flyers. I agree it’s not so much the players as the fans. I still have memories of my Family trip to the Spectrum and them throwing lit cigarettes at me and my Father, burning my jersey. I was in high school.

  Tired of Philly fans coming into my place of work and running their mouths. Win or lose. Tired of hearing how Crosby sucks. Crosby is a cry baby. Even heard, that he’s a cheap shot artist. Really? And, apparently, Ovechkin is the best player in hockey. As far as I can remember, he didn’t share a scoring title, win a Stanley Cup or a Gold Medal for his country. So, maybe, Ovechkin should start crying. Malkin’s English is better than his.

  But, tonight, I met 11 of the nicest Philly fans. Apparently, there’s 11 and they were all in Pittsburgh, at the same time for the Firefighters Convention. They were sweet. We talked about the legacy of the Broadstreet Bullies. And hockey. Without the mention of crybabies or sucking. I wished them Good luck. But deep down, I know I didn’t mean it.

  Let’s Go Hawks!

  Everyone knows the only reason Philly was able to make it to the cup this year was because they didn’t have to play Pittsburgh who easily eliminates them every year.

  You must mean the last two years because if I’m not mistaken…

  Regular season games: 133–85–30 PHI
  Regular season series: 29–11–2 PHI
  Post season games: 15–14 PHI
  Post season series: 3–2 PHI

  It’s ok, that all happened before Crosby was a Penguin and before you gave a damn about the team. Since they have been good (two years) you have been better than us. I guess having consecutive overall picks 5, 1, 2, 1, 2 can give a team a temporary boost.

  Enjoy the time off.
