The Stanley Cup Finals are off to a great start this year. To be honest, I really hate both teams. I’ve always hated the Detroit Red Wings. I hate the Pittsburgh Penguins even worse, mainly because of their star kid Sidney Crosby. Let me get some stuff out of the way first. I think Sid The Kid is extremely talented. I think he is one of the best players in the league and will be for a long, long time.

However. The kid needs to grow up and learn to be a man. By default, I am required to hate him. That’s how us Flyers fans are. But us fans can only take the diving and complaining and crying so long. This only continued in last nights game 2. If you saw the game, you saw Sid pull a ref over to the Pen’s bench and whine and complain about god knows what. You would think that the Pen’s coach Therrien would be used to complaining. He apparently wasn’t used to it, because he took the time to do some whining of his own:

It’s really tough to generate offense with that team. They’re good at obstruction. It’s going to be real tough. If the rules don’t change, they’re just good at obstruction.

He then had the nerve to call Detroit’s goalie Chris Osgood “a good actor and diver.” That really is too funny…
