When he becomes best friends with Ovechkin during the All Star Game , then turns around and stabs him in the back during the playoffs. Basically, Ovechkin was the Blair in this situation while Crosby decided to be a total Serena. He ruined the cute Listerine joke during the Stanley Cup Final. When he was oddly attractive in the new Adidas Hockey advertisement.
Back on the old stomping grounds. Penguins fans about Crosby. The media about Sidney Crosby. Two of my best friends are Crosby fans. It hurts when people you love have affection for something you hate. This photo of him. That time he probably slewfooted Cedric Paquette. Just a mistake, surely he just got a little penalt- oh no? He is a really good hockey player and there is not a single thing we can do about it.
Everyone talks about how annoying he is and how much we hate him, but we can hate him and think he is annoying while also recognizing that everything he has achieved so far…is pretty extraordinary. So in conclusion: Happy 30th Birthday, Sidney Crosby.
You are so freaking good. I hate you so much. Not even a little bit. Crosby is often the source of backlash from non-Penguins fans of the NHL, much to the loss of comprehension from Pittsburgh. If jealousy was the reason behind disdain for Crosby, there would be just as many "Stamkos sucks! In Game 3 of the Conference Quarterfinals against the Montreal Canadiens , Crosby took a dive that ignited a scrum. During the scrum, Crosby waited until a teammate became involved with Roman Hamrlik before cowardly punching Hamrlik in the head.
During another scrum involving the Atlanta Thrashers on December 18, Crosby waited for a teammate to get Boris Valabik down before throwing punches at him from behind. Faking in order to draw a powerplay is not only incredibly disrespectful to the integrity of the game, but embarrassing to one's own dignity. Hockey is a sport meant to be characterized by hard work, tough play, speed and skill. When NHL hockey hits the ice, the players are meant to display the highest level of talent the sport can offer.
Fans attend games with hopes to see well-produced plays, eye-opening goals, hard hits and gritty action. A moment that cut the author of this pro-Crosby piece to the core. With one perfectly placed shot in overtime , Crosby decimated the dreams of an entire nation. But, back in Pittsburgh, deafening silence ensues. Those who bleed the black and gold are still speechless. They say time heals all. The destroyer of American Olympic dreams has been issued a full Pittsburgh pardon.
They better have! The Steel City loves Sidney Crosby. And, he has earned their affection, having spent his entire NHL career in a Pittsburgh sweater and acting as the driving force behind an offense that is both dynamic and dangerous. During the Crosby era, the Penguins have become perennial cup contenders, and one of the Eastern Conferences most feared foes. Why is the best player in the world still subject to a scathing slew of constant criticism?
An infinite barrage of boisterous banter? Much maligned and mean-spirited meme immortalization?
