Face of the game by branding only. Similar to the way Stamkos became the "face of the game" down in Tampa before he'd even played an NHL shift. Everyone knows OV is the best player in the world and the only reason he is not the NHL's no.1 face is because he happened to not be born in Canada.

A good captain finds ways to get his team on the PP. Good coaches do the same thing. Everyone hates Crosby because of all the hype he had coming into the league and how much of a competitive spirit he has, now or when he was a rookie. He goes hard game in and game out. Not in the top 3 players in the NHL? HE IS THE FACE OF THE NHL. HE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD. You know how much Sid cares about how fans treat him? ZERO. He is a true class act off the ice and a true player on the ice. Sorry the guy has so much passion for the game and wants to win the Cup… didn't realize thats a bad thing… fu.cking idiots

So far, Kramer's comment has proven to be true! Tho we might debate about the *cause*…I don't have any better suggestions.

Crosby "talks" to the ref more than any other Captain in the NHL --- even tho he toned it down a bit from last year.

Don't think Crosby doesn't know he draws 3x more penalties than anyone else in the league. He milks it for what he can, granted those calls aren't his fault and are more a result of implications from the NHL brass to the refs to protect their marquee star [who is not even in the top 3 players in the NHL].

It's only recently since 87 has been seeing the "Crybaby Crosby" signs lining the glass at every away game, that he has started to smarten up a little. That's not enough to pull him out of first position tho, nor to rename the trophy after Curtis Joseph.

Maybe next year.

I love how people like to say Crosby is a whiner just when he is passionate about the game and winning. A captains job is to talk to the ref, I'm tired of all the Crosby haters. I can't wait to see him hoist the Cup, Conn Smyth, and Lady Byng. Oh and just a prediction here.... Marc-Andre Fleury wins the Vezina.

Tim Thomas? no way... they are going to lose in 7 to the habs

k…bandwagon? how about just following whatever team crosby and malkin went to? that is bandwagon. and your basing this year on last year? you can say you arent but theres no way around it..thats exactly what youre doing. boston had tons of players emerge this year…and again..you cant say they arent clutch because you havent seen them not finish 8th before! what did pit do before making the finals?! lose in the first round in a 4 vs. 5 game!! im not saying bruins are going to win the cup for sure because they finished 1st, im saying they ARE better than the pens…if you deny that you have absolutely no idea what youre talking about..they are better in every aspect except first and second line centers. name something else. and im pretty sure kobasew-bergeron-recchi is the best 3rd line. i understand your bias…and yeah im biased to…but please look at this realistically…pens arent even close to the bruins
