LOL
Sounds like Mike Lange in Pittsburgh - he has some of the greatest sayings. "HEEEEEE shoots and scores! Get in the fast lane grandma, the bingo game is ready to roll!" I was so bummed when he went from FSN on tv to the radio - sometimes I still mute the tv and turn him on, he's awesome.

So, now the next game the Pens/Wings play in Detriot we get to hear the fans boo everytime Crosby touches the puck. AND, Detriot gets a chalkboard motivation for that game.


All this said.... It was a whale of a series.
I honestly think it was unintentional. Crosby has so much respect for the game, it's just not like him to intentionally snub the Wings, or anyone else. Not to condone it, he should have been in that line sooner. Just an oversight on his part.

I don't really care too much either way if people boo or cheer or whatever... it's SPORTS... that's how it is.

BUT I remember during the playoffs a couple of years ago people were booing the Canadian national anthem and vice versa... they actually had to start making announcements BEFORE the anthems to remind people not to be a$$holes. That is where I draw the line.

Boo a player... it's sports. Boo a team... it's sports. boo bettman... he deserves that and a lot worse lol. but to boo another countries national anthem? that is just trashy and disrespectful.
Ugh, booing national anthems? Very trashy. That's just wrong.

In general, I don't see a problem with booing a player or team...like you said that's just sports. Crosby is used to getting booed, especially in certain buildings. He actually tends to play better when he is being booed...motivation maybe. Hossa is seen as a traitor by some fans - I don't necessarily agree. I didn't really blame him, all the guy wants is to win a Cup and he went with the team he thought would give him that chance. In January and early February, I would have said he most certainly made the right move, since the Pens were well out of contention for the playoffs. When Pens fans booed Jagr, though, I didn't like that. He may not have left on the best note but he did a LOT for this team.
