So what if Crosby didn't apologize the next day, he felt he didn't have to. He explained why he didn't, and thats good enough for me. Why isn't it good enough for others. <br /><br />It aways amazes me how much people get upset these days about trivial matters. I do know that with more sports channels, bloggers, radio that the airwaves have to be filled, but really, has our society been so keen to find fault in everything that a 23 year old kid does.<br /><br />Remember now that the ice after a game has more media personnel than actual team representatives. Crosby had to do interviews on the ice with NBC, CBC, TSN, NHL Network, Sportsnet etc. It is bordering on insanity that Crosby MUST do interviews right away with these guys before anything else.<br /><br />All guys like Roy had to do was shout out I'm going to Disney's World 17 times, and that was after the handshake.<br /><br />Now asking for a trade cause you don't like the coach...That's news.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361983473584668994.post-64743416927230529892009-06-17T06:28:59.601-07:002009-06-17T06:28:59.601-07:00What i did not like is the day after sid could hav...What i did not like is the day after sid could have said something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361983473584668994.post-89973060229982213472009-06-16T09:09:39.101-07:002009-06-16T09:09:39.101-07:00Hey Dean - I agree 100%.

Even if Crosby could see Lidstrom through the swarm of media, I doubt he could make his way through to the Wing’s captain. There’s just no way.<br /><br />No one's at fault (except Draper here), it just happened. Lidstrom didn't want to wait all evening (understandable) and Crosby had a little more going on.<br /><br />Bad way for the Wings to leave this season.Burgundyhttp://stayclassy.net/2009/06/16/shaking-hands-is-overrated-unless-you-are-going-for-ratings/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361983473584668994.post-81785327204376406492009-06-15T22:13:56.275-07:002009-06-15T22:13:56.275-07:00Well said Dean!Well said Dean!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
