I don't think Sid had to be brought up, but people have been pretty vocal with their complaints about PK's crap when Sid has done the same stuff in his career.
It's hockey, and PK is good for the league. A hero at home, and a villain everywhere else type player. I'd like more of them.

Ever seen Crosby fight? He's jumped guys off the faceoff, he didn't wait for the other person to be ready. He's punched a guy in the jewels, and I'd consider that a cheapshot. He's challenged guys while wearing a visor, and he's also fought while wearing his helmet.
Don't throw stones, we're not perfect here either! It's amazing how people just ignore what we do here and think the rest of the league is evil and cheap. Take off your Pens glasses, we're no angels here either.
I have to say, while I'm a huge Crosby-apologist, this guy is right. It's been some time since Sid pulled that crap, but hey, lets call a spade a spade. Sid has done it.

thank you. We ARE allowed to criticize actions from players on other teams, even though we employ matt cooke and sid once punched a dude in the balls. in addition to that stuff, but totally separate, PK Subban is a gutless turd.

No BS about it. I never once said that Crosby was as dirty as Subban, but he has pulled the odd cheap shot, which every player does.
My point was that the OP was blasting Subban for not waiting for Morrow to be ready, for picking a fight with a visor, and for fighting with a helmet on.....how soon we forget that Crosby has done all of those things in all of his fights.

So what you're saying is we shouldn't criticize a gutless miscreant like Subban – whose game is all about the cheap stuff – because Sid has taken some cheap shots in his career. That's silly.

Read the original post where the OP calls Subban out for not waiting for Morrow to be ready, picking a fight with a visor on, cheapshotting, and fighting with a helmet on.
I just have a problem sitting here criticizing him for doing that when our own star did the exact same thing a couple times!
When Sid jumped the guy off the faceoff, we were all okay with that? It's okay for Sid to pick his fight with Ballard even though he had a visor on? It was okay for Crosby to fight everytime with his helmet on?
Crosby has never once removed his helmet for a fight. He barely ever squares off for a fight, except for maybe a second against Niskanen, he basically rushes in as fast as he can. Every fight he's been in he's worn his visor, and started many of them, if not all.
I'd rather not see Sid fight at all, but the point I'm making is simply that aside from the history of cheapshots, Subban is no different a fighter than Crosby, yet the OP was all up in arms because of his actions.

- Iggy does seem guilty of not churning those legs at times, but the Pens style is an adjustment so I'm hoping he realizes and fixes
- TK had 3 shots, but they came very late in this game..... strange but true.
- Only Letang had over 20 mins last night, and he almost had 30 (28.55)
- If Letang sneaks back into the Norris race, does that reduce Sid's chance at the MVP?????

2. I have no problem with someone keeping his helmet on during a fight if his opponent does also. What fights was Crosby in where his opponent took off his helmet and Sid didn't?
