    Default Crosby - Bad Groin

    Everyone has probably already read this since it\'s on TSN, but since it wasn\'t in Dobber\'s ramblings I might as well throw it out that Crosby is nursing a groin injury and will sit out tonight\'s game as a precaution. It says he\'ll play on friday, but I\'m sure this makes Crosby owners a bit uneasy with the season not even started yet, no?

    Here is the link:

    i\'ve said it over and over, crosby is going to be a bandaid and besides that, he is way overrated! Ovechkin is the face of the NHL, not crosby

    i don\'t see how a guy who gets 120 points in his second season can possibly be overrated.

    I never said crosby wasn\'t good, but I do say that he is not as good as everyone wants him to be (160 pts) he is going to be the next big bandaid, I bet you he won\'t make 60 games this year

    What do you base that on?
    His freak ankle injury last year?

    He was not hampered by injuries during his first two NHL seasons. He wasn\'t injured in junior either.

    So once again, what are you basing that assumption on?

    I\'m not sure what decade you think we\'re in, but when is the last time anyone has ever been projected to get 160 points? 130 points right now for anyone would be the absolute ceiling. Crosby is not over rated. He might get injured again this year, but so did Mario. Do you think he was over rated because he never got 260 points?
    Head to Head League: 1 point for G, 1 point for A. 2 for Goalie win, 3 for SO.
    Start 6 guys every week. 3 O, 2 D and 1G. No substitutions once they are in (before the first game starts on Monday).
    Protect 3 players every year in keeper.
    10 rounds of drafting
    F: Crosby, Point, P. Kane, JVR, Kopitar, Rakell, Tarasenko,

    He said 160 points because that is the absolute ceiling Dobber gave Crosby... looks like someone didn\'t buy the guide hmy:

    No, I don\'t have the guide, but I think 160 points is ludicrous. There is no way anyone in this scoring era can go that high...imho.

    dobber defines his upsides as a number that he would bet his house that the player never makes it to.

    you can see then that an 80 point upside is nothing really to get excited about... for a forward, anyway.

    all 160 points should tell you is how much respect dobber has for players like crosby and ovechkin.

    I just think 160 in today\'s climate is unrealistic. And bear with me here fellas, I\'m new to this site, haven\'t had a chance to get the guide yet.

    no worries baumer, this is a good thing to know.

    some people see a 115 point upside and then expect 115 points in the near future.

    what that upside really means is that, given the absolutely perfect storm of a season, awesome linemates, little competition for icetime, on the ice for 75% of every PP, no off-ce distractions, yada yada yada... then that player might approach that upside but won\'t surpass it.
