Roar.  Yes, this post calls for my Glen wtf/mad icon.  Because I am mad, and I am WTFing like whoa.

For those of you who might not know, I created and co mod a community called

Lizi, I can understand what you're saying. Yeah, I love Sid, been following him since his juniors career, but the Sidney Crosby Show gets overwealming a lot of the time -- to the point that it alienates a lot of fans. Heck, I nominated him for biggest whiner! God love him, he used to whine a lot.

Pens fans are rabid, and, I'm sorry to say this, but a lot of teenaged Pens fans see him and are just *OMG SINDEEEEEE CROSBEEE!** which is one of the most annoying things in life. Is he talented? Yeah, I don't think you were denying that. But is he god? No -- even though I voted for him doing no wrong on the ice -- in my eyes, at least.

Sorry this is causing you so much drama. The comm. is supposed to be fun, and I hope it returns to be that way soon! **hugs**

Oh, one more thing I wanted to tell you -- There are a lot of awesome teams in the NHL, and the other leagues, and I think that sometimes everyone focuses too much on Pgh/Sid. I can see how it would drive others crazy. I think a lot of us Pens girls love other teams too -- like me, I love the rangers and the thrashers a lot, and the bruins -- we're talking about going up to Boston for a few games this season!

I wasn't saying anything against mature Pens fans who are willing to admit that he is not one of those people who can do no wrong in anything, like, ever. I'll admit that he is a good player. But I really, really don't think he ranks up with, like, Joe Sakic or Brendan Shanahan. YET. I just think that all this focus on a player as young as he is, this soon, might send him crashing, you know? And it does get aggravating when you see the rest of the young, skilled players on the ice who don't get nearly as much attention as he does. Take, for instance (and yes, I know that I am pretty much his evangelist, but) Patrice Bergeron. He is 578397583927 different kinds of amazing. But whenever Sidney Crosby is mentioned, it's like he is the only player in the league. I don't HATE Sidney. Really. I just don't worship the ice he skates on

Believe me, I understand. I HATE HATE HATE the teenyboppers. The ones who can't see past Crosby. Right now, he's playing like the great ones, but seriously, sometimes it is too much. As a Pens fan and a long-time Crosby fan, I worry that it's going to make him crash. My only hope is that it helps market the game to bring it into the top four sports in the country.

And as Kojo and I were saying today, Bergy is 59000000 kinds of love. He and Kessel are my favorite Bruin boys!
