Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Making progress, Sidney Crosby style.

Hey, jumping a guy who’s looking at the ice right off the faceoff isn’t quite as bad as attacking another man’s testicles from behind, right? (am I really writing this?) Maybe Crosby will even face his next victim opponent and let him know he’s about to be attacked, provided that’s not too much to ask.

The “Making progress, Sidney Crosby style” was supposed to be the title, I guess I messed that up, if you want to fix it JP.

That was a fight? It look to me like he was gonna stuff him in his locker and take his lunch money.

I agree, I don’t think there’s any way McLean should have been called for a major.

Since when did Rene Bourque start wearing Crosby’s jersey?

That’s definitely the guy who should be the face of the league, amirite?
 
Honestly, I think this is being blown a little out of proportion here, but if they’re going to go ballistic over AO’s hit, then I suppose it’s only fair to go ballistic over Sid’s antics here.
 
This is certainly not the way to earn the respect of other players (or officials.)
 

I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.

give The Kid a break

He was just trying to fire up his crappy team. They’re playing lousy…and has ANY team had to deal with so many injuries???

/sarcasm.

Homer call

love the Steigerwald/Errey (??) homer call…………….“HE’s THROWIN’ UPPER CUTS !!!!” what were they watching. It’s as if the myth was being covered up live before our eyes……

I think part of that was that they were watching a replay when the fight started so they didn’t see that Crosby had jumped McLean.

Hazardous, that comment was a bit much, so I hid it.

Oh

And here I thought this was a place to post thoughts. Silly me, guess I should just use the internet for porn and World of Warcraft like everyone else.

Nope. Feel free to post thoughts. Death wishes, however, offend some folks (odd as that might seem).

Not really a death wish. I didn’t say “I hope he dies right now.” I just said I’ll be a happy guy the day I know he’s gone forever. Maybe that makes me a jerk, but I don’t really care. As for offending people, tough. If people aren’t thick-skinned enough to take someone’s comment at face value and feel the need to drama it up, then they shouldn’t be on the internet in the first place.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
