Crosby and the handshake line

You will NOT rain on my (championship) parade, Draper.
I will not spend much time at all on this nonsense, I’m in too good of a mood. Sidney Crosby got to the handshake line late last night (along with several other Penguins and staff, by the way). By the time Crosby got in line, Wings’ captain Nik Lidstrom and Kris Draper, who were in front of the line, had hastily skated off the ice.
Crosby did indeed shake some Wings’ hands, such as Henrik Zetterberg and coach Mike Babcock, among others. Watch for yourself.
The Penguins themselves said it best, “Members of losing teams generally vacate the ice pretty quickly”.
All this talk of Crosby “snubbing” the Wings is absurd. I could talk about a lot of things that happened in that arena after that game by those “fans”, but that’s different, of course, right ??

Absolutely ridiculous by Detroit and its fans to spew this nonsense. There is time-stamped video showing where Crosby was (shaking Babcock’s hand) as Lidstrom left the ice, right behind Hossa.

Just more bitterness from a franchise that thinks it’s so superior to the other 29 teams in the league, when in fact, they have only one more Cup win than the Penguins since Pittsburgh entered the league in 1967.
PITTSBURGH PENGUINS. 2009 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!

Watch the video. Babcock tries to talk to Sid during the handshake line, and Sid just blows him off.
I’ve said ti before, and I’ll keep saying it: Crosby is not captain material. I could think of so many other Pens that deserve that title.
What, exactly, did Crosby do in the Finals to deserve all the adulation, and a phone call from the PM of Canada?
Good for Guerin, Hal Gill, Malkin, Fleury (who I’ve liked since day one, even if he was brought into the league prematurely). And, hey, Tyler Kennedy’s parents live a few short miles from me, so I’m happy for them.
And coach Bylsma, damn straight! He was a great BG Falcon, and so far is proving to be a formidable coach in the big leagues. A boy from Muskeegon does well!
But not Crosby.
Immature. Whiny. Over-rated. Coddled.

That’s right, one more than you since then.
Thanks for making our point.

Dude, what are you talking about, he CLEARLY said “Thank You” to Babcock….
Posted by Tony F from Virginia Beach, VA on 06/13/09 at 05:53 PM ET
Agreed, just poor sportsmanship by Draper. He wanted to hurry up and go cry. It’s terrible how he dragged Lidstrom into his tantrum. Another fake controversy perpatrated by Hockeytown. “Elvis has left the building”

Yeah, about as half-heatedly as could be. It was after he said that when Babcock tries to tell him what a great job he did that Sid just skates away.
Immature. Classless. Whiny.

“What, exactly, did Crosby do in the Finals to deserve all the adulation, and a phone call from the PM of Canada?”
Haven’t you learned by now that the Pens are a “team first” group and what one person did in one game or one series is not relevant? But if you’re asking what Crosby did to deserve the adulation, how about top scorer and second points-getter in the playoffs?
I’m finished with Red Wings “fans.” Sore losers.
Posted by Guest on 06/13/09 at 05:59 PM ET
Hey, the fact a Pens blogger created a blog the day after, talking about how we will not discuss what Draper said, means he knows damn well what Draper said was true.
If there was nothing to it, why even acknowledge it?
Posted by Red Winger from Sault Ste Marie on 06/13/09 at 05:59 PM ET
Not a Pens fan. Not a Wings fan. Definitely not a Cindy Crosby fan (I prefer Ovie in that debate). Just a fan of one of the other 28 teams who weren’t in the final (the Bruins). But this bitching from Draper and a vocal minority of Wings fans is idiotic, and it screams “sore loser”. This is Grade A “mountains out of molehills” material. This is a desperate attempt to look for malicious intent where none exists. Guess what Draper; It’s not about you. You lost. Crosby was busy getting interviewed by every network on the planet, if you have a problem with the interviews making players late for the handshake then take it up with the league, they’re the ones who let the rink get flooded with camera crews as soon as the final whistle blows. Besides, maybe you should just head back to your own locker room and save your handshake etiquette lectures for your teammate Chris Chelios.

@Red Winger
If someone was indeed a Leafs fan, surely, they would point out to you, despite the ineptitude of the Leafs and the lack of a Stanley Cup since the infamous year of 1967, the Toronto Maple Leafs still have more Stanley Cups than Detroit. Perhaps, you should just let it go and celebrate the fact that your team won a Cup last year and made it to Game 7 of this year’s Stanley Cup. My goodness, even us Leafs fans who are hated far, far more than the Red Wings will ever be, are less sensitive than some of you guys.

Perpetual ineptitude probably dulls the senses.
Posted by Red Winger from Sault Ste Marie on 06/13/09 at 06:24 PM ET
I agree with Red Winger. I’m not a sore loser, the Pens won fare and square, but come on. About half of the Red Wings sat and waited there for him. It’s not like they didn’t know they do this hand shake thing after every playoff series. If he is such a great leader and savior to the league he should put one of the oldest and greatest traditions in sports ahead of his selfish interviews.

Attention universe! Two bitter Red Wings fans have spoken! That is that!
You guys are a joke. “Selfish interviews”? Are you really willing to reach that far? Pathetic.

I’ll make you a deal.
When I see Sid at the Stanley Cup parade here on Monday, I’ll make sure to tell him you said this. Then I’ll ask Sid to make sure that when the Pens beat the Wings for the Cup NEXT year, he kisses Babcock’s feet.
In exchange for this, you need to go away.
Deal? Awesome.
Now where did I put those sour grapes?

Nope, I just wanna see if there are any sensible Wings fans out there. I play with a couple Wings fans in my Monday night pick-up hockey, but I wouldn’t exactly classify either of them as “sensible” on sporting matters (I’m already looking forward to hearing what their take on the game is on Monday night). I’d just like to know that the species actually does exist. Call it “scientific curiosity”!
Posted by Rico on 06/13/09 at 06:49 PM ET

Cool, I have such curiosity, too.
My new experiment: to see how long it takes a 21-year-old multimillionaire to get out of the basement.
Posted by Red Winger from Sault Ste Marie on 06/13/09 at 06:55 PM ET
Do captains ALWAYS lead the handshake line? Seems like sometimes they are the last ones through. And when did the tradition of the losers setting the schedule for the handshake start? Of course they’re standing there waiting because they lost, they aren’t caught up in celebration.
This is ridiculous. I’ve said in past posts that my hatred for the Flyers is made easy because their fans make it easy. Its never, never the Flyers fault when they lose. I love the Wings style and players and would pull for them against most teams, but too many fans (not all) are really acting ridiculous, just like Flyers fans.
I hope the greatest defenseman I’ve ever seen stays out of this despite his name being dragged into it. You guys should follow his always classy example.
And Red Winger, have you considered professional help?
Posted by dip from philly on 06/13/09 at 06:56 PM ET
Forget crosby’s or any other players stats. lets look at Red wingers…he’s been an official member now on this site for a little over 6 mos if you look at his profile, with 593 posts to date, so a little less than 100 a month?!?!
i knew i recognized that cat photo, but man, i know times are tough, but you should start looking into getting a job…and by the looks of them, they’re all Crosby centric, and involve the basement issue…so clearly we have a guy who’s living in his mom and dad’s basement, maybe even has two or three crosby posters on his wall, sent a couple photos to the Penguins back in December asking for autographs, maybe to meet up. of course no reply, so he’s taken his fatal attraction obsession in the a new direction and can’t stand that Sid is accomplishing anything with him.
Such a sad sad life, probably the best thing do is ignore him before he fires off another 600 posts on penguin comments all the while pretending to be a wings fan….
who can blame him though for switching sides…he was probably a ducks fan 2 yrs ago…
Posted by Greg on 06/13/09 at 07:04 PM ET
Maybe he’s agoraphobic. Maybe the basement has a nice rug that really pulls the room together. Maybe he’s just finally gotten the feng shui right and he doesn’t want to mess with it. The reasons could be endless, really.

I think someone else(coughredwingercough) wants to shake Sid’s hand.
34 posts and you have half of them
I read this site a few times a week and each time i see a post from you it’s about your hate for Crosby.
A few days ago you were running your mouth at another post regarding Crosby and Mr Kuklas told you to shut it. or start your own blog.
You were so mature in your reply to him i can see why you would not have the wits to start your own blog.

Remember that trolls are cowards; they’ll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that’s what they do!).
Go Pens.
Posted by akus on 06/13/09 at 07:33 PM ET
You Red Wings fans are sooooooo jealous it is funny!!!! Went to game 5 in Detroit and never met so many obnoxious, drunk, losers before. Pittsburgh fans have class as do our players. We know how to win championships (Steelers, Pirates, Pens) and know how to act accordingly. Went to game 7 yesterday and your fans are the most obnoxious I’ve ever seen. Booing Bettman so he can’t even speak was tasteless. We’re too busy celebrating our victory to waste time debating handshake line ettiquette with you guys. Go cry in your beers!
Posted by Wendbish from Monaca, PA on 06/13/09 at 07:37 PM ET
My friend always said Michigan people were F-ed in the head. I’m starting to believe him….Babcock said “Great game, great leadership..” and Crosby said thank you….Wings fans should stop whining about everything….You had game 7 at home….you had the better team…and you knocked Crosby out of more than half the game!!! At that point just win the game!!! Or shut up….........
Posted by kevin from boston on 06/13/09 at 07:42 PM ET
I will say the most obnoxious fans in hockey are Wings, Pens and Habs fans. I’m not sure in what order. As for booing Bettman..I think that is great and it is why I love hockey fans. He gets booed in every city that knows anything about the game….......but I’m sure he’s big in Nashvile and Phoenix

Posted by Evilpens on 06/13/09 at 07:59 PM ET
Basically, it’s just another construed transgression without rational content. Draper knows it’s a hit with the media and the unenlightened masses. That it’s baseless and idiotic nonsense is forgotten in the commotion.
Penguins fans, it’ll probably remain a fad among the opposition for a long time, even if Crosby were to save all the kittens in the World singehandedly, so it’s a waste of time debating the issue.
Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins have won the Stanley Cup 2009, therefore I declare to not give a crap.
Posted by Moq from Denmark on 06/13/09 at 08:01 PM ET
hey redwinger, wouldn’t it be more classless if he didn’t shake hands last year when they lost? oh, your tears, they taste so good! how does it feel watching your team lose game 7 of the finals at home? how does it feel to know you had two chances to win one game, and came up short in both? people talk about the handshakes, chelios is the worst. that ass just shakes hands when his team wins, not when they lose. all i hear from you on here is sour grapes. what did sid do this series? he lifted the Cup at the end, and believe me, that is all that truly matters!
LETS GO PENS! CHAMPIONS AGAIN!

Kevin…Booing Bettman means nothing. He could buy and sell you and YOUR mother.
RedWinger… Get a job.. and a life. Your fascination with Sid and his living arrangement borders on creepy.
Once again, he has accomplished much more in his 21 years than you could in 500.
Bottom line..you whiny bitches lost. Drag your octopus behind you and plan your second place parade.
I thought you were one of the classless fans booing Crosby being injured…. but you were probably in Momma’s basement, rocking back and forth, crying into your pillow.
For all of your obsession and hatred of Sid..You had to bust a nut when he was skating around with the Cup ON YOUR ICE….. Sweet!!!!

When you’re 21 years old, captain of a cup winning team in only your 4th season, there’s got to be SOMETHING left to improve upon, and apparently for Crosby it’s his post-series handshake line punctuality.
I’m sure he’ll get better at it with more practice.
Lots of practice.
Posted by Svenguin from Cupville on 06/13/09 at 08:30 PM ET
God, who the hell cares? A bunch of writers and fans bitching back and forth about what the players did or didn’t do, get over it. If it really did happen, I’m sure a simple phone call will settle it all. Or maybe a lovetap next season… It’s no big deal either way.
Posted by JAMESinMI on 06/13/09 at 08:53 PM ET
You Pens and Wings fans are making my point…..TOTALLY ANAL ABOUT ALL THIS!!!!! You’ve each won a Cup in the last two years and yet you continue…As for Bettman….the guy cancelled a season! A real hockey fan understands that…..tix aren’t any less. Fans got nothing out of the deal. He is a jackazz and is hated by anyone with a brain. Just because he worships Crosby doesn’t mean you have to worship him in Pittsburgh…Yes he could buy and sell me What is your point? It’s my money that puts $10,000,000 in his pocket each year. I will boo him whenever I want….............

What is with all the hate towards Crosby. He plays as tough as anybody in the league. It is also funny hearing the detroit fans complain about the officiating. Lucky for them the refs dont call interference in the cup finals or they would not have won the cup last year. What would the super bowl be like if the refs decided not to call holding. There was an equal amount of no calls for both teams. The wings are a great team. There is no doubt about that. Its just that this year the pens were greater.
Posted by elizafurnace from pittsburgh on 06/13/09 at 10:33 PM ET
when in fact, they have only one more Cup win than the Penguins since Pittsburgh entered the league in 1967.
Gotta love the Pitt fan’s Small Man Complex.

-elizafurnace
Because he is a whiny little bitch. No one disputes how well he plays, everyone outside of Pittsburgh and some circles Canadian media hates his guts for poor sportsmanship. When things don’t go his way, he reverts to the composure of a 6 year old. He slashes players that frustrate him (Samuelson in February, Z in game 4), he retaliates for clean hits (Ballard) and complains to no end. When his team wins in Detroit, he can’t be bothered to join the handshake line until it’s halfway over and the fans have booed him- I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone do that.
If the wings wanted to bitch about the results of the finals they’d have plenty to complain about, in the same position the Penguins probably would too. This is about the Kid needing to grow the *#$%@& up and everyone in the Penguins organization coming to defend his actions when he needs to own up to them himself.

Everyone of them, including vets like Guerin and Gill, rant about how great of a Captain Crosby is, from his work ethic, humility and game day performances.

More arrogance from the loser Red Wings (town, fans, organization, players) on this ridiculous item. Oh right after winning the Stanley Cup for the 1st time, Sidney Crosby is (of course) supposed to pay homage to the Red Wings and their glorious captain Nick Lidstrom. Crosby is supposed to feel priviledged the Red Wings let the Penguins win the Stanley Cup on their home ice, because (of course) the Red Wings really didn’t lose the Stanley Cup, Gary Bettman/the NHL/the referres all conspired to stop the Red Wings from becoming a dynasty (which by the way they are NOT). You (town, fans, organization, players) are a bunch of bitches! You are so arrogant, that this is better than beating Philly. F*** YOU! You lost, you were not the better team, and you will not be winning the Cup anytime soon. The Pens will be winning a lot of them in the next decade. READ IT AND WEEP YOU LAME ASS BITCHES: THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINS ARE THE 2008-2009 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS! AND THEY HAVE TO ANSWER TO NO ONE, ESPECIALLY A BITCH LIKE A RED WING (TOWN, FANS, ORGANIZATION, PLAYERS)!

Red Wings fans are so upset over this. Whiny. Arrogant. Bitches. Everything that they claim Crosby does is what THEY do. They are so pathetic. I love it.
You will never win another Cup as long as Malkin and Crosby are on the same team. So keep bitching about Crosby since that’s all you can do now that the Wings have been dethroned! Bwahahaha!
So many of your “fans” are a joke and half your players are a joke. There is not that much respect to be had for a large group of Wings fans. These people are so insecure and their lives must suck so much that they can’t accept the fact that their hockey team actually loses sometimes.
Just imagine if the Wings actually had some losing seasons like they had in the 60’s and 70’s when they made the playoffs like 4 times in 20 years. All these people would jump off the bandwagon for good.
They were losers with no Stanley Cups for 42 years in a row (LOL), now they are the losers to Sid and the Pens. THE TABLES HAVE TURNED AND THEY JUST CAN’T STAND IT!
WE’RE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS BABY! THE CUP IS BACK IN THE BURGH WOOOOOOOO!
