Northern Wish Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I thought Crosby come off like a spoiled brat on Sunday, while Ovechkin played like a Hall Of Famer with passion, intensity and physical play. I know Washington was coming at Sid a bit, but hes a superstar isn't that expected? If Crosby skated as hard in the back half of the rink as he jabbed at opponents on the bench- he'd be the next Gretzky. But alas he ain't.......

TheSloth Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 There's no denying Crosby is a fucking whiner, he's good but he's jaws a lot. I like Ovechkin's game so much more. All in all I think Crosby will have the longer career and the higher point total but Ovechkin's style makes him my favorite by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I can appreciate Crosby's talents but I am in 100% agreement with the Sloth. Come to think of it, when he sucker punched that Buffalo player in the nutsack earlier this year I lost a ton of respect for him. Don Cherry has to quit his campaign of Crosby needing protection. The only protection Cindy Crosby needs is from himself as far as I see it. The refs let a ton go against him because he has always cried to them.I could be wrong about all of this because my viewing is very limited with Pittsburgh but I am quite confident Ovechkin would eat him alive if they fought.

Jaimoe Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think Ovechkin wouldn't hold on if he fought Crosby. He went after Mike Richards and didn't hold on, although he still got killed. He got a few shots in though and didn't look out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 By the way, how did this go unnoticed by Rich Stadium? Actually, you dont need to tell me. No one cares about Don Cherry anymore. Badams and I were talking about the nonstop buffonery following his latest and ridiculous rant. Ovechkin Laughs Off CriticismWASHINGTON (AP) - Alex Ovechkin smiled that gap-toothed smile of his and laughed off Canadian TV analyst Don Cherry's criticism of his exuberant goal celebrations."He's a funny guy and old guy. He likes old-fashioned hockey," Ovechkin said Sunday after scoring his NHL-high 46th goal in Washington's 6-2 loss to Florida."He's not interesting to me, so he can say whatever he wants. I don't care about him," Ovechkin said.The league's reigning MVP generally sounded far less upset about the whole thing than Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau, who fired back at Cherry when asked before the game about the bombastic personality's comments."He's a friend of mine. And he's an idol of mine. I mean, I love what Don Cherry has stood for, for 30 years. I just think that even the smartest people in the world are wrong sometimes, and I just thought he was wrong," Boudreau said. "Because he doesn't know Alex like we know Alex."Prompted by some recent back-and-forth trash talk between Ovechkin and Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby, Cherry came down on the Russian on Saturday during his "Coach's Corner" segment of "Hockey Night in Canada" on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.Cherry was critical of the way Ovechkin reacts when he scores, which can include fist pumps, leg kicks and face-first jumps into the glass.Cherry called that "goofy stuff.""I'm going to tell you about this guy: He's got a free ride. He runs at guys, does this stuff," Cherry said. "I am predicting somebody's going to get him. And somebody's going to get him good. There's somebody out there - some big defenseman is going to be sitting in the weeds. As he cuts across center ice, somebody's going to cut him in half."Video of soccer players celebrating goals was shown, followed by video of Ovechkin."Now watch Ovechkin. ... Does he not remind you of a soccer player? And that's what Crosby was talking about. Look at him," Cherry said.Asked if he was angry about what Cherry said, Ovechkin replied: "No. I just laughed about it. He's funny. In hockey, we need something like that."Then, noting Cherry's soccer references, Ovechkin added with a mischievous grin: "Maybe Canadians don't have a soccer team. Maybe he's jealous of Russia."Known for his staunchly pro-Canada stance, Cherry gave a long list of hockey players from that country who should be viewed as role models."What I try to do is teach the kids the Canadian way," he said.Boudreau knows Cherry and his take on things well: Cherry is writing the foreword for Boudreau's autobiography due out later this year."As much as I really like the guy, I thought he was wrong," Boudreau said. "He's pro-Canadian, and there's 33 million Canadians that love that, as anybody would. And if I was sitting at home, I'd be going, 'Yeah, yeah, Canada!' But I just happen to be in the same business as him, so I see it a little differently." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
