"Crosby Sucks!"

I went to the Flyers-Penguins game at the Wachovia Center last night, and couldn't help but notice that just about every free moment- including every single musical interlude throughout the night- was seen as the occasion for a "Crosby Sucks" chant. Meanwhile, I saw one guy in the mens' room who not only was wearing a "You can't spell 'Crosby' without 'Cry'" T-shirt -complete with crying penguin- but was handing out business cards so others could order them.

The last time I heard a hockey arena full of fans expressing that much vitriol towards one man, it was the Met Center, and Norm Green.

I thought I spotted you in the highlight reel! You'd have to be deaf and blind not to notice the Crosby hate....

You should see how they treat Chris Pronger in Edmonton. Or how they treat Sean Avery everywhere except Madison Square Garden.
