This goes hand-in-hand with all sports. If you can't stand the fire, get outta the kitchen. Right, Baz?
I don't think anyone discredits Crosby's accolades. Just as I don't think most Pens fans discredit Ovechkin.
It's a team and single player rivalry. You should check out the football season threads.
BTW, you can still be a good player and a strawberry mist douche.
Okay, let me think back...tennis,golf, curling, badminton, fencing, figure skating, hmmm.... seems to be mostly football & hockey. You know, the "manly men" sports. Just to make sure that I understand you correctly, you are saying that it is okay to make junior high remarks about a rival team's star player because he is on the rival team and everyone does this in all sports so it is an accepted practice, correct?
Following your logic of how things work, then drive-bys would not be a problem because they are accepted practice in the drug culture.
All I'm saying is that if you want to talk sports, you should talk sports and not junior high personal insults. Although, really, it just makes me think that you can't find anything bad to say about his hockey performance because he's such a good player so the only way you have to denigrate him is to make up the girly-men insults. Kind of pathetic, really.
Ovechkin would be a much better player if he learned to shoot the puck to some of his teammates who were in a better position to take shots instead of thinking that the team is the Washington Ovechkins instead of the Capitals.
when he couldnt get the jack to work.
