Too bad the Cup winner isn’t determined by how hard the ESPN announcers were verbally fellating someone, because then the Oilers would have had it in the bag. Fuck Steve Levy, fuck McDavid, and fuck the Flyers!

Damn. Am I the only Penguin fan that loves McDavid?

I still miss all the Ovi no cup jokes.

Crosby lost his first cup final too. So let’s relax for a second.
But we should actually praise our captain for taking his pay cut, setting the tone every day with his work ethic, and creating an amazing winning culture in the franchise.
Because I do agree, the idea behind asking for $14 mill and having no team around you, doesn’t look like it’s going to result in cups. In Edmonton, or Toronto. I do think Crosby ends with more cups than McDavid.

McDavid would serve room temperature water and complain that it’s spicy

He’s NHL James Harden. Rack up all the PP points you want, they are all empty calorie if there is no cup at the end. All the peers he gets compared to have won multiple titles. Sid, Mario, Gretzky, and Orr. If he wants to belong he needs to drag the corpse of the bum organization across the finish line at least twice.

In hockey one skater occupies at most 1/3 of the TOI for his position. Ultimately 1/3 of 1/6 of the entire team. To compare players based on team achievements is almost useless.
It is not basketball, naturally
Proceed accordingly ✔

Hockey is a team sport. McDavid is way better than Crosby you’re just delusional

I’m just sad that this almost surely means we’ll now be seeing more of what is undoubtedly the most hideous jersey in hockey out in the wild.
But happy for E-Rod.

Damn remember when Crosby lost his first cup in his first trip? You guys really need to shut the fuck up and appreciate McDavid before it’s too late

this shit is so embarrassing. Can’t wait for the rebuild to flush the losers out of the fanbase again.

I’m not interested in shitting on McDavid this morning. He just had a historically great playoff run, and his team nearly pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
His team ultimately came up short but that was obviously not reflective of his performance. He was absolutely spectacular and cemented himself as the unquestioned best player in the sport right now. If he starts stacking Stanley Cups, he’s going to be in the conversation for the greatest player who has ever lived.
I think you can appreciate the greatness of Sidney Crosby and also acknowledge the greatness of Connor McDavid. I don’t see them as being mutually exclusive.

I dislike him as a person. He’s a real asshole and his peers do not like him either.

Let’s all relax here. Crosby lost his first final also. Not sure why we have to compare these two. They are both very good players, one is on his way out and the other is primed to dominate the league for years to come. They are both the best of their generation, who cares about nitpicking about who we think is better?

Making our fanbase look pathetic with these kind of posts.

McDavid didn’t want take a tiny pay cut, he squeezed the Oilers for every last dollar, no one talks about that

As an Oiler fan who wants Ovechkin to not break Wayne’s record I can appreciate the salt.
Let’s just all agree it will be great when they join together to defeat the evil Americans at the the several international tournaments planned over the next few years.

I’ve always found one of the most interesting sample sizes to be the first 5 years into each career:
Crosby: (2005/2006-2009/2010)
-All-Star (3x)
-Art Ross
-Hart
-Ted Lindsay
-Mark Messier Leadership Award
-Rocket Richard (split with Steven Stamkos)
-Stanley Cup Final Appearance (2x)
-Stanley Cup Champion
-Olympic Gold & Game Winning OT Goal
McDavid, IMO, is a career underachiever. The fact that he hasn’t won a cup yet says a lot about his leadership and ability to put a team on his back. People say Crosby came into an elite situation, but when he got here his line-mates were a washed Mark Recchi and Colby Armstrong. He eventually got Malkin and Letang, but McDavid had Draisaitl, Evander Kane, and recently Zach Hyman, so he’s had his fair share of top talent as well.
It’s largely unpopular and irrelevant to compare players, but IMO I’d take Crosby in his prime over McDavid in his prime 100/100 times.

Jaded-Statistician87
Penguins fans since the cups in 92 … But mcjesus will finish his career with more points than Crosby maybe no 3 cups but no sense in comparing the two . Enjoy what you had but now is the time the penguins will suck for a bunch of years till we can draft top talent again .
P.s. Fire dubas and Sullivan
TURBOJUGGED
Why are you so obsessed with McDavid? Lol
Freddymain
That’s a silly statement … “Never?” Sid certainly has the better resume now. McDavid could win four cups the next ten years along with continuing to win individual accolades. Drawing definitive conclusions mid-game is always premature.
Conscious-Weird5810
You guys need to chill. Crosby is considered a top 5 all time player. Don’t need to tear McDavid down. And I saw this as someone who rates Sidney as his all time favorite athlete in any sport
Temporary_Suspect252
McDavid was a no show in this series along with Draisaitl in the most important game of their careers at this point i don’t remember Crosby nor Malkin at their age not being a huge presence in big games hmmm 7/8 years ago would be that time line…oh ya two stanelies
TRMBound
Naw, but I am a McDavid stan. He will get his eventually. Sid has those shiny cups though.
funkybeatz911
Let’s not gloat like this. All it does is make us look juvenile and invite bad karma.
They’re both great hockey players. Neither one’s talent diminishes the others.

Even if EDM won Sid’s resume is still far better (and that was with missing however many games due to injury)
