this game was far more entertaining than I expected. can you imagine what level of hockey we might see in really meaningful games at Olympics?

and one more thing. all this talk about McDavid, MacKinnon, Kucherov is all and good but Crosby is still one of the best if not the best when it comes to hockey. sad thing that I hate him with passion :)
 
Was an awesome game. It's criminal that we've been robbed of gimmick-free, true best-on-best international hockey for 11 years. Can't wait for the game Saturday night
 
I've seen a number of people say Crosby should be considered 3rd greatest all time over Gordie.




I just could not disagree more.
Agree with you 100%. It pains us all as Wings fans to admit that 87 is great. That said, I don't hate on him all that much anymore compared to 2008 - 2015 or so. It helps that Marchand and Lucic are much bigger d-bags, but I digress.
There is no denying talent, but 3rd best of all time? He is the 3rd best of all time... Pittsburgh Penguin that is.
 
It's fun to watch a game cheering for guys you otherwise hate or scare you in the regular season. It was a terrific game by both teams and easier to appreciate all of the players, including and maybe especially Crosby, without the extra emotional attachment of wanting your favorite team to win.

He's a lot less whiney now and the league isn't trying to cram him down everyone's throat as much. I don't think anyone can deny him being an all time great player; he was just annoying as an 18-25 year old. I honestly think a lot of non wings fans probably felt similarly about Yzerman to some degree during his early playing days. The refs around the league definitely called him a whiner.
 
Its nice to see Raymond play the highest stake game of his pro career and be arguably his teams best players on a stacked roster
