#nhl #hockey #pittsburghpenguins Avant que Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews et Nathan Mackinnon ne soient ciblés dans la LNH. Sidney Crosby était le brillant exemple d’une attention supplémentaire. Dans cette vidéo, nous décomposons un moment où Crosby a prouvé à la ligue (en particulier aux Flyers de Philadelphie) qu’il ne serait pas intimidé.

First yay
Thanks for this. And who stood up for him has always been my question. Please address that. Why did his line not swarm Hatcher? Someone on the next line crosscheck Hatcher in the face? Why? Please do a piece on the years he was left unprotected by his team mates.
Sweet Doc Emrick flashback
The hits at 1:51 are crazy lol
Damn i miss early 00s hockey the nhl is so soft now
I’m a Flyer fan but I respect Crosby. However, I have zero respect for the Penguins organization, especially when they never made an effort to protect their star players like a real hockey team would.
Clean hits are one thing but these dirty plays are a whole nother. That stuff doesn’t belong in hockey imo
Honestly, what i personally would like to see is a rookie superstar take some sick revenge (like perhaps leaping off the feet to board or an unexpected cross check to the teeth… maybe even a headbut), get suspended for three games, then come back and when playing yhe same team/playwr again, right off the face off, take another round of sick revenge. Double vengeance. Then serve out a six game suspension wkth the deal that when he gets back, the team will protect him and he'll drop the dirty shīt and get back to superstar play. Imagine this with Bedard. Honestly, it would be a massive controversy and be all over the headlines. The conversation would be started about how to protect finesse players and Betmann would have to at least pay attention. It could lead to a shift in the league and remove some of the cheap shots. Honestly, i think if Bedard did it amd then people like Crosby and McDavid had his back, there would have to be a change. At the very least, i think others would stopp taking overt liberties with Bedard. It doesn't matter how tough of a bully you are, the human weak spots are the same. Broken backs. Broken mouths. Noses. Concussions dont care about your height and weight. I would really just like to a season where there is some monumental push back and also if God woukd grant me one last gift, I'd like to see it result in the return of the enforcer… and with this sea change, also usher along a changing of the guard with Betmann moving on.
Got abused like no other rookie superstar before and still put up 100+ points in his rookie season. People who call him a crybaby are metro division fans that have been absolutely tormented by Sid
Worst ran league in the world. Get generational prospects and do nothing to protect them.
No one got "Bullied"…it's a physical, aggressive sport. Crosby couldn't handle the physical, and then whined about it. Saying that he "got bullied" is a cop out, an attempt to victimize him and in turn justify his crying whiny immature behavior.
i like all your videos dude, but i like the analytical ones a bit more. the ones about mcdavids processing speed and conor bedards shooting motion and how it opens up his dekes got me hard
His teammates didn't come to rescue so the league had to put the refs on it.
Still a crybabyyyy
The fact that no one stood up for him on pittsburgh is patheitc
Draft "Lottery"
Always LOVED this rivalry since I was a huge Crosby & Pens fans and my best friends was a Phili fan
great vid
I've would have thought Sidney hated the caps more than the Flyers?
There are still dirty players who should be in padded cells and not allowed to carry hockey sticks or any other kind of weapon. Black hawks have hired in two psychos to protect Bedard because they know that the Refs and Player Safety will do nothing to protect the skill players ever. NHL was a joke and it still is that way.
I think they should drop the gloves and kick the s hit out of anyone who fks with them…anyone.
Crosby still the best after the Wayne and Mario days. He just gets it done and shows up in all the big games. Ovechkin is a goal scoring machine and such a physical package, McDavid is some kind of out of this world talent with the things he can do and how fast he does it but Crosby just finds a way to help his team win when it counts more so than any of them. OV came through with a Cup and McDavid is knocking on the door but to captain 3 Cups and 2 Olympic Golds with a target on his back and the spotlight on him every night, Man, what a player.
Bettman's little pet Sydney barely made it out of the back half of the 00s. He sat out a year and only came back because because golum Bettman went all "My Precious!!!" and protected him. No way he'd last 3 seasons in the 90s, let alone the 80s. 70s and before, he not even playing hockey. 😛
I didn’t consider him a cry baby. Was nice to see that fire come out and translate it to on ice dominance. Always a big OV guy but I always watched Crosby as well.
Not a metro division fan at all. And I'm Canadian, and I do like Crosby now. But he was the biggest embellisher in the league until the season before winning his second cup. Imo that's why he won his second and third cups was because he finally learned to clean that aspect of his game and it made him an infinitely better player. Getting Phil the thrill also helped win those cups, but Crosby took his game to another level by not feeding into the victim mentality. I didn't like him to start his career as I thought he was going to FIFA the nhl. Glad they didn't let him.
The league honestly should do more to protect the superstars. I am a more recent fan to the game, and I love the physical nature. I don't want it to get neutered like the NFL has to some degree. But Crosby has dealt with way too many injuries that slowed and possibly prevented what likely was the second 2000 point man from getting to that benchmark. I agree that Penguins probably could've done more by having more enforcers of their own to make guys pay for this. But the bruisers on opposing teams will take the damage if it means stopping the only generational player on the ice. So the only true way to limit it is with officiating.
I always wanted Marner or Matthews to slash someone if they weren’t going to do anything. Nice to see Matthews hitting these days.
can you imagine a world where the pittsburgh penguins arent in the NHL
hmmm….no one seems to pick on OV the Great 8…..helps being 6 ft 3 " and 240 lbs AND….attitude! Respect!
This makes Matthews and Marner look weak as they never ever defend themselves.
Thought his nickname was Cindy Crosby? pretty sure even if unprovoked he would have done the same and trash them. both team too close and affect Pens success if left untrashed, and flyers being flyers and sucking through out the recent decades.
Now show all the cheap shots sid dishes out
Great video!
I'm a Flyer-fan but damn he didnt have anyone standing up for him against a beast like Hatcher that were knew for things like this.
But yeah it wasnt just Hatcher bullying him, i think Kovalchuk made it better then Hatcher by scoring a goal also, i believe this was during his rookie-season
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2US4iaPjag – For the Kovalchuk – Crosby clip..
But yeah i'm a Flyer-fan but Crosby is an absolute legend, i dont hate on him he's been an amazing player since he was drafted.
I miss 2005 hockey!
crazy that in hockey when after guy lost a few teeth that if he goes down for a few seconds its considered milking it.
And still scored 100
One guy that needs to get bigger Balls is Austin Matthews when you Smile while someone is B!tch Slapping you to me that's a problem also being Serious I Really think Austin is Gay I don't care if he is or not just my take on him the way he presents himself he is a Very Good Hockey player but to each his own.
