The NHL press machine is required to publish the league statistics. All of which he usually leads!! It’s so easy to go after the best when you’re supporting losers. It’s a cross Pittsburgh teams must carry each year. You wouldn’t be from Seattle would you? Put bluntly, you whine like those losers. Yeah right, Crosby wouldn’t be known for his ability, don’t make me laugh. Have you ever seen a hockey game?

However its not exactlly the fact that he is the biggest diver in the NHL that makes people (including myself) hate him. Its the fact that he:

B. Will never get called for diving. I know there aren’t a lot of diving calls to begin with… and I would bet the league tells the refs not to make any unless they are very very very very obvious. After all, if every obvious dive was called, it would look really bad for the NHL. So if refs are told not to call many diving penelties as it is, you can bet the refs are told NEVER to call a diving penelty on the NHL’s poster child. In fact the refs are so bad when it comes to Crosby that during his last game agaisnt the Rangers he slew footed Callahan, and Callahan was given an interference penelty. So when Crosby is on the ice, the refs are not impartial… and thats very very sad.

B. Is the biggest on ice baby the NHL has ever seen. I haven’t watched one Pittsburgh game in which Cindy isn’t constantly whining to the refs looking for a call… often after some really lame dive. If he just put on his act and left it at that like Avery does, then it wouldn’t be as big a deal… but he whines and whines about not getting calls allllllllll the time.

Put bluntly Crosby might have some skills, but if he didn’t have the full weight of the NHL press machine behind him he wouldn’t be known for his ability… he would be known for his lack of ability as an actor.
