i hate people who give crosby shit. he deals with the most shit by far in the nhl. no one gives him a break and he is constantly harassed. yeah he might whine, but do you honestly blame him? he comes into the nhl and everyone expects him to be a god. ovechkin in my oppinion is not necessarily a better hockey player. he is one of my faves, but have you ever looked at him on the ice when he doesnt have the puck? he stands around, doesnt back check, and really puts no effort into it. as soon as he touches the puck though, hes dangerous. crosby on the other hand, plays pretty much textbook hockey. ovechkins hands and speed and shot are still fucking sick, but hes a goal scorer, not the true all around hockey player. either way, this series was a win win situation for me cause i like the pens and the caps. i would have liked to see washington take it and get the cup, but now the pens can make up for thir loss in the finals from last year.
