Crosby Return Discussion Thread

damn I should have picked up Dupuis.

I have Neal and started both Sullivan and Kunitz this week as well so i'm gonna smoke whoever I play this week with the Pens having 4 games.

[mister_mcgoo]

its amazing to me, he's basically SO good that he's still much better than most of the league even post-concussion and rusty

[Twiggy]

Move Neal on his line so I can get in on the points damn it!

[Chuk]

Another assist- I could use a few more "moderate assist heavy" producers in my lineup :P

Pretty funny Emu, but I have to give MT credit for making a call and showing up to face the music. It's like a Crosby feeding frenzy everywhere.

The reality is that this is game one of what we all hope is a glorious comeback, but scoring 2 points a period after a concussion is far beyond anyone's expectations.

Crosby is just proving once again that he is in a league of his own.

Im getting killed this week Im playing against Crosby and Malkin.
Im glad Sid's ok but lets face the Islanders shouldn't be in this league.

There pathetic.

2 periods in and listening to Hughson nonstop slobbering Crosby's nuts makes me want to kill myself.

Crosby is NHL's meal ticket, what do you think is gonna happen?

[Luffy D Monkey]

I dont care? Its annoying to listen to, Im a Crosby fan and im already wishing he would go back into whatever hole he was hiding in. Sick of hearing about this shit.

[Ballsakic]

I understand but these guys are just doing their job.
Just be glad you dont have to do it.

Anyone else think a healthy Crosby could win the Art Ross from this point on? I do.

I'm not sure, but it will be fun watching him try. The question that came to my mind is how long until Sid passes Ovie in scoring...

That's a misconception. Did the league fold in the last year without Crosby? I think this exact mentality is what irritates people, Ball.

Don't get me wrong, Crosby is the best player in the game and a great player to promote, but he is not "the NHL" or any type of meal ticket. The worst thing that could happen (and it will) is that the hockey media force-feeds a 24/7 dose of Crosby down our throats now.

He deserves his night and all the fanfare but it shouldn't be a Crosby slurp fest from here on out either.

Matt Read is the NHL

Tell that to the media, I am with you in spirit.
But being in Show bus all my life , I understand the hype.
That being said I already turned the pitt game off it's embarrassing.

Oh, I get it. And we're inundated with media and live feeds now so it's easy to be overloaded - I just wish the NHL media did certain things in moderation...or semi-moderation lol.
