Chesire Cat:
Wait, that's why people don't like Sydney Croaby? I'm new to this thread but jeez, only Mormon I've ever met made Epek drum kits and is a totally nice guy. I'm fairly immune to advertisements religeous or not so it never really affected me much.
the_pied_piper:
What? You obviously didn't read the whole thread. The mormon comment was about the Australian snowboarder who won a gold medal maybe on the last page. The Sidney Crosby hatred is just a general thing because he is supposedly some kind of God but really he was only a bit-part player in the Olympic win and pretty much any attacking player on the Canadian team would've put that shot away with just as much ease as he did.
To talk about the goal a bit Jarome Iginla made the pass and was superb in every game Canada played, quite possibly the best player in the tournament but you won't hear a lot about that because Crosby won the gold medal. Also, Jonathan Toews had 9 assists going into the final and went on to score the opening goal making him much more useful than Crosby too but Crosby scored the goal. Not even mentioning that a distinctly out-of-form Roberto Luongo in net still managed to concede no more than 3 goals in any game he played making the job of winning the games much easier for the forwards.
This is why people hate Crosby so much. I am loathe to admit that he is a very good player but it is true. However, it is the sycophantic nature of the journalists and the constant whoring of Crosby by everyone he is involved with while overlooking players who are as good as he is that makes me despise him so much.
Alex C:
Yeah, see, if someone wanted to write an article stating that Crosby is a remarkably complete player and passer even before age is taken into account, that'd be one thing. Instead, we get articles where the writers just vigorously spitshine his knob. It's annoying.

Like, the worst thing I can say about any Mormon I've ever met is that she was too nice and happy. And I have met a goddamn whole lot of Mormons. Big damn Mormon community where I went to high school.

I went back and read the thread and I am not quite seeing where there is actually any "hate"

Let's...let's just stop this thread.
Let's take a second and talk about how amazing Jonathan Toews is. Seriously. Every time I watch him play, I always mind myself mouth agape, mumbling "....wow.".
