Former 76ers beat writer Kate Fagan suggests in a recent article that Doug Collins' coaching style "is a huge issue within the locker room." "On more than one occasion, players have let Collins know — during a game — that they’re sick of the relentless nitpicking," adds Fagan. The Sixers are 4-6 in their last 10 games and have dropped to seventh in the East, just 2.5 games ahead of ninth-place Milwaukee.

If by "relentless nitpicking" he means continually instructing them to make the right plays, protect the ball, and play good defense, I agree, it's annoying.

Who wants to play the game the right way, stupid coach.
What's your point? That stuff is very dirty or cheap, but throw Schenn's clip up as well. I'm not going to blindly defend Sid, but it happens from every player, every night. The problem is most fans are oblivious when it is their team doing it. I'm not that fan. Admit what Schenn did wasn't right and stop defending him with "yeah, well you did it first".
And any intelligent Pens fan (I'll admit there aren't many) is annoyed by all the Crosby worshiping that goes on around the league and media as well, it would do everyone some good if they would stop going out of their way to make him look perfect, no one wants that except the league. - bri29smith
Schenn's crosscheck was completely innocent. It was basically a little push that caught Crosby off balance. That exact thing could happen 500 times in a row and Crosby still wouldn't get hurt. It is irrelevant.

Schenn should of been suspended. You cant hit the "NHL's golden ticket" and get away with it. Schenn will pay today.
GET REVENGE ON CROSBY FOR GROSSMANN AND BRIERE - 2Real
Grossmann's knee is good enough to sign a contract extension. He will be just fine. Briere will be sitting in a players box with his hot chocolate today.

Exactly. Also, it's absolutely fine that Malkin can punch Giroux in the head, and Vitale can target Briere's (although he missed) even though the Pens org and Crosby speak out about head shots. Could you imagine if Rinaldo went after Crosby's head and missed or if Simmonds punched Corsby in the back of the head from behind after knocking him down?

Rinaldo would of been suspended for the rest of the year including playoffs.

Has Talbot fought any penguins this year? Just curious, Im sure it's weird for him. Id like to see him mix it up and shush the crowd. Then his transformation will be complete.
Here's hoping, but I doubt it happens. - Hextall271
All kidding aside, wouldn't you prefer to win the series against a full and healthy Penguins roster so us whiney and arrogant fans don't have any excuses as to what went wrong?
