well then aside from phili and pitts, there’s 28 other teams that would take gino and crosby in a heartbeat. as a wild fan, would prefer malkin. dude’s a beast.

Calm down. Of course big money teams are gonna have higher ratings. Can you honestly tell me canucks are that good compared to the penguins. It is all biased opinion.

I don’t even know where to begin ….. These are the worst ratings for players ever by EA. These guys are high on crystal meth. The only thing as an Islander fan I have going for me is Jonathan Tavares, 81 points, 31 goals, 50 assists. Last year he was an 87 and now he is an 85. 7th overall in scoring and he decreases in rating. Nash and Richards both with neither as many goals or assists are rated an 87. Come on now, how the f are you rating these players???????

As a pens fan I’d give bryz an 86 while he was better than maf in the playoffs flower bloomed all year long with 42 wins , bryz was good enough just not great , he could improve on some ratings but so can flower

I see 3-4 retards that just say how Crosby sucks. I know that we also have idiots but on this site It was mainly that one troll with 10 usernames talking to himself. But I think he got his ip banned thank god. But I think it should go malkin 95 Crosby datzuk and giroux 94 then stamkos 93 then ovechkin and sedans tied at like 91. But with the updated ratings weekly it may largely fluctuate based on the players season.

You think Pens fans are that much better? Both sides have babbling idiots. Show some class.

I am a Flyers Fan and I agree with you. It gets annoying when rival fans can’t even be honest when talking about rival players. I hate the Pens, but I respect their talent. I enjoy having intellegent discussions with opposing fans, but it gets annoying when fans can’t see past their hatred and emotions. That being said I think having crosby rated 95 when Malkin, Giroux, Sedins, are 4-5 points lower isn’t accurate in my mind. I can see him rated 1-2 points higher at the best. His durabilty in the game should be very low as well. That is my opinion.

So your logic is judge him entirely off the 6 games in the playoffs and throw out the other 67 games he played? I would give him a 87. Yes he was bad in the playoffs and so was bryz by the way. The difference is in the regular season fleury could of been the teams MVP (his teammates have said this) where as bryz could of been the scapegoat.

By: phillyphan83

phillyphan83 — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 17:03:34 +0000

all the pens fans talk about how bad bryz is yet MAF was worse than him in the playoffs so what would YOU give him?? I think 82 is more like it. (5 points is a big difference, imagine if he was a 92 instead of 87)

wingsdjy — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 16:28:04 +0000

Agreed. Happy to see Datsyuk with a 95. Looks like Ovechkin is 3rd highest with a 93, though that automatically drops in the playoffs

no kidding man, who the hell came up with these ratings? wasnt someone who watches hockey at all.

elliott and halak are an 85 and 80? led the league with the lowest GAA last year and they get rated lower than vokoun who is an 87 ? really?
schwartz a 65? holy crap, dude is at least a 78-79 compared to oshie and perron. Macdonald should be an 84 just like perron and oshie- he’s easily the fastest skater on the team.

Jackman is over rated big time- he should be a 75 at the most. there’s a reason we call him “pylon” around here….

this was what i noticed was WAY off with my team. im sure most of the others are WAY off too..

He had 42 wins last year with a 2.36 GAA and a .913 save %. What rank would you give him?

@jacketsfan7, none of my comments were aimed at you. If you are looking at this on an iphone, the comments line up in the order they are posted, not necessarily where they are posted. None of my comments are intended for you. We are on the same exact page as far as this topic is concerned. If you look on a regular computer you will see my comments line up with philly4lyfe and hockeyissweet’s comments.

@ml3939 any fan would justify Crosby by his behavior for whatever teams he plays for , I’m just asking you to respect him as we respect briere and giroux , plz don’t over think my comments

Who ever said I wanted Crosby on the flyers? I just said flyers would praise the ground he walked on IF he was on Philly just like any hockey fans would do

By: andyreidisfat

andyreidisfat — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 19:27:30 +0000

Gotta be honest with you man, I wouldn’t want Crosby on the Flyers. Crosby because of the dive’s and cheap shots and just whimp that he is. He has great skill and i am sure he does deserve a good rating but I don’t think he is better the Giroux or Stamkos, or even Geno.

Now I would take your goalie lol and i would have loved for the Flyers to snag stall.

By: hockeyissweet

hockeyissweet — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 17:47:43 +0000

nah, don’t want him on philly. hes a walking, whining concussion. id take malkin, crosby? no way. “”I don’t like them, because I don’t like any guy on their team so.”" great logic sidney, and very “respectful” pens fan. hes a little punk.

By: ml3939

ml3939 — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 17:03:27 +0000

You are a liar. If the Flyer’s drafted Crosby and you only knew him as a Flyer, averaging 100+ point seasons, you would look the other way or justify his behavior. There is no way you would be calling for the Flyers to trade him or let him walk in free agency.

@philly4lyfe I’m gonna say this as a classy penguins fan as nicely as I can possibly say it , Philly has a great team don’t get me wrong , you don’t have to Like us nor do u have to like our players , but the least you should do whether it’s a rivalry is to show at least a little respect for us as we do to you! I’ll admit it giroux is a great player!! Hes not on NHL13 cover by mistake , Philly has great potential for another cup and that attitude is what makes this rivalry great but let’s be honest here , if Crosby was on Philly tomorrow I bet you’d praise the ground he’d walk on , we all would but the least you should do and I’m not saying you have to but plz to show some respect

Pavel Datsyuk should have a rating equal to Crosby, as far as skill and talent, he’s the premier video game player..similar to Bo Jackson in tecmo.

ravenscaps48 — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 14:19:58 +0000

The guy who single handedly SHUT DOWN the defending Stanley Cup Champions, Braden Holtby, is the lowest rated Starting Goalie in the game….. Are you kidding me, EA?

By: hockeyissweet

hockeyissweet — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 14:13:02 +0000

im a flyer fan, and no i would not want crosby on my team. who seriously cries to the refs about too many hats on the ice after a hat trick? hes a whiny little punk, not even worthy of being a flyer.

By: ml3939

ml3939 — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 14:04:04 +0000

I am a Flyers fan and you are a turd. Stop being a troll like bobhpine, sjsharks66 and the Pens guy who keeps changing his name. If Crosby were a Flyer, you’d be all over his d&*#.
