The one I work at is.

Brashear sure looked like one in the Rangers game yesterday. He put a hit on Colton Orr that sent him to the dressing room in a cloud.

I’ve known long time Pens fans who didn’t realize the Caps were going to be playing the Pens this season and who’s

lol, cant a guy have some fun at work…holy cow did that rub some people the wrong way… we will see if AO is worth all the hype. the bad thins about this upcoming series is that someone will be deemed as “not MVP worthy” when its all said and done. even though both players turned in mvp caliber performances during the year

how folks can take on convo or thread and latch onto it without knowing exactly what one is thinking. it is very fair to say that AO is not gods gift to hockey (same goes with sid and geno). it is fair to say that it is too early to tell if these guys are destined for the cup and/or hall of fame greatness. I personally dont think AO has the skill set or the peices around him to take over a game. yes he does have a few good players around him, but we saw it in game 6. sparked by max’s fight, sid and geno collectivly said we will not loose this game. the rest of the team followed suit. am i clearly biased towards the pens, yep. do i occasionaly like to stir the pot and see what happens, yep. however i would much rather have a good discussion about the players rather then having one with a troll (not shagg) who blasted the origonal author of the article in question as being a homer.

Interesting capitalization choice, Homer. Glad you respond to the “idiots” with such a thoughtful counter-argument. That’ll show ’em!

And I’ve been known to shout it numerous times. But I honestly don’t think the majority of the Philly fans who chant “Crosby Sucks” (myself included) would argue with the fact that he is one of the Top 10 players in the league. I would put him Top 5 easily, if not No. 3. I still think he sucks. Is it jealousy? Maybe, but I don’t think so. My problem with him is how he came into the league and how he carried himself. Hell, even how he still carries himself – mainly, his reaction to a “hook” he received after a whistle in Game 4 – bothers me. Would we love having him on our team, of course. But that doesn’t mean we are jealous.

Bottom line, it’s not ignorant to use a three-syllable phrase to show our dislike toward one of your top 2 players. It’s heckling. Whether that’s appropriate or the best use of our energy is a matter of opinion. And even those fans who would say he sucks and isn’t a Top 5 player, the majority of those really mean that he’s overrated – whether you think that’s true or not.

i wrote something about the ease of chanting crosby sucks versus lets go flyers, people are drunk, lazy, and large majority at pittsburgh games just like to indulge in some reckless banter. we’re a football town still sadly, even though i’m not, and since the eagles continue to break their hearts, it carries over into other teams who don’t suceed, [flyers, phillies until recent glory], and no one gave a ____ about the sixers since AI left.

Nice, you insult Philadelphia for shouting “Crosby Sucks” but you replace Phila with Philtha.

That’s amazingly clever.

No, wait, let me guess you’re reply: well…it is filthy, so it’s different. Classy.

I don’t blame you for rooting for the Caps in light of Philly being eliminated. I was prepared to root for whatever team the Flyers were going to play if they advanced to the next round.

I disagree entirely. After losing to the Devils and Lightning (the effing LIGHTNING!!!!) in Game 7’s, and having them win the Cup only makes you think that you could have won the Cup too. Being 1 goal away from beating the Cup champion twice only makes watching them win worse because it so easily could have been you. Maybe it’s less painful when you won a Cup in the last 20 years, but we’re at 35.
