It's oky that you disagree. But it happens in every game almost, and every team including the Flyers do it. Most Flyers fans just don't like Crosby. It's really not a big deal, and is way, way overblown. There is no disrespect or lack of honor in trying to do anything you can to win the game. And really has zero to do with a player's character.

I guess there is no CODE the players speak of....

oh well, I must've missed the memo that honor and code did not exist.

It doesn't matter how much you want to continue riding beating a dead horse is not going to get you anywhere.

Um. that is an apologist atitude. I know I have said it in the past, and I have seen others that say they hate when Briere, Recchi, Carcillo, ect dive.

You keep making these replies. I responded to a post directed to me. There isn't a gun being held to your head forcing you to read it. Was I replying to myself?

You can call it whatever kind of attitude you want. I have no issue with it.

Yes MJL, you keep rehashing the same thing over and over again, other people have seen this, so I make it comical. Adding to the fact that you have said something about a gun...lighten up buddy, we are not in a court room.

this is a agree to disagree...

Have a good night everyone, even you MJL

Take the Fall, Act Hurt, Get Indignant!

I wish they would play that part of the might ducks when Crosby draws a penality on the big screen at the WFC. It would be great!

Im not going to drag out this point, it's not about Crosby with me. I used the play with Jagr as an illustration of actions and the type of gamesmenship(or lack thereof) that I abhor. I hate embellishment to draw penalty, fouls or a favorable call. No sir, I dont like it!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Snap.

If Crosby wants to dive and act like hes been shot when hes touched thats on him. If the refs decide to not call him for a penalty so be it.
I just hate the fact that the best player in the world needs to take his game to that level.

that leaves out the best part, where Leino turns towards JVR with a look that says "did he just hit me in the head?"

That would be more effective if the fans in the background didn't look so silently morose.

I agree with this except for the no disprespect or lack of honor. It is dishonorable to take a dive and get a penalty, in fact I think it's just cheating. NO different than a goalie wearing larger goalie pads which exceed the regulations.

Anybody with a little brother will understand this... Remember when you were wrestling with your brother and you pin him down... He gets mad then runs and starts crying to your mom. You get in trouble, and as soon as Mom starts walk toward you; your brother stops crying...

I guess you would be okay with this if it happened to you? Good for your brother? Not me, I was happy when my Mom finally caught on and slapped him and said you want to cry I will give you something to cry about.

Where do you come up with this stuff?

I'm going to start the Crosby Diving Bounty. I will donate 20 dollars to the first Ref that calls Crysby for diving. Who is with me? Maybe we can make this substantial.

Total so Far: $20.00
