No its not a load of poop, Toews a better player than Crosby is a load of poop. What about all the times Toews didnt win?

i think crosby has not won a award in the past 5 years i could be wrong ..
- gerbe75pts

Definitely wrong, considering he won multiple awards last year.

"Sorry Crosby is usually up for the Hart and Art, so they dont want him up for the Selke too. Not good marketing for the NHL to have one player win all the hardware.

i just looked last award he won was in 2009-2010

LAS VEGAS -- First remember what Sidney Crosby was doing two and a half years ago. Now look at where he was and what he was doing Tuesday night.

It's an accomplishment so impressive it's worth three trophies.

Crosby went from waiting, wondering and hoping his concussion issues would subside so he could resume his career to standing on stage at Encore Theater in Wynn Las Vegas accepting the three trophies that represent overall individual excellence in a NHL season.

The Pittsburgh Penguins captain won the Hart Memorial Trophy for the second time in his career, finishing with 128 of 137 first-place votes. He previously won the Hart in 2006-07, when he was 19 years old. Injuries derailed potential MVP seasons in 2010-11 and 2012-13.

He also took home the Ted Lindsay Award (formerly the Lester B. Pearson Award) for the second straight season and third time in his career. In addition, he was feted with the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading scorer for the second time in his career.

did you see my edit ?

but you said he wins all the Awards every year that's just not true and that's why he has never had a Selke Trophy

Now try looking at another source besides Wikipedia.
- As_I_See_It

So youre saying he only has won 3 trophies in the last 2 years, and most likely more to come this year?

but he doesn't.. don't you think the NHL would just toss him one Selke Trophy ?

or maybe he's not as good as the players i listed

I know he doesnt, thats MY POINT. And no they wont just toss him a selke, beceause their 2nd tier stars, win that, while Crosby wins the Art, Hart and others.

Again...the Hart is awarded to the most valuable player in the league..that's a much better indicator of who's the best player than the Selke.

Ryan Kesler is better defensively than John Tavares....would I take him over Tavares? Hell no.

this is going nowhere i'm just going disagree this is pointless

yes Crosby is a great player but i just don't think he has a elite 2 way game

Ryan Kesler is better defensively than John Tavares....would I take him over Tavares? Hell no.

you would take Tavares when the game is on the Line? and not Kesler

really? I"M 100% every NHL coach would trust kesler with 1 min to go and the net Empty on the other side then JT

So to validate your argument, you put Kesler in a situation where he is up, with only a minute on the clock, and Tavares needs to score, seems fair.

Im pretty sure its easy to say every coach would want that, because its not easy to score with a minute left. But if you ask any coach who would you prefer on their team, Kesler or Tavares, everyone would be taking Tavares over Kesler.

Dreger: “They will have to start negotiating rather quickly I would say on pending restricted free agent Dougie Hamilton.”

“There are some who believe that he could be the poster child for the offer sheet,” added Dreger."

According to Dreger Hamilton could be looking at “Doughty and Pietrangelo” money, that means a $6, 500, 000 to $7 , 000, 000 dollar cap hit. Any team with the necessary draft picks required to match the RFA compensation and cap space could sign Hamilton to an offer sheet.

Is Dougie Hamilton worth an offer sheet? He's not worth 4 1st round picks to me.

Okay and who would you take during a tie game or when you're down a goal?

wow crosby/toews pissing contest

I'll play

If I have a fringe playoff team, and want to take it to the next level, I want Crosby

f I have 1 game to play and need to win it, I want Toews


It's splitting hairs
