Fuhr was great !! I met him and most of the Oilers after a Northstars game in the early 80's, what a team the Oilers had, 2nd to none !! I have to say that Crosby has more than lived up to the hype, when he first came out and they said he was the next great one I just laughed it off but not laughing anymore the kid is good !!

Consider this
Babcock praises Crosby
Mike Babcock of Detroit coached Penguins center Sidney Crosby at the Olympics in Vancouver and watched him score an overtime goal for Canada in the gold-medal game. Of course, he also saw Crosby captain the Penguins to a Stanley Cup victory against the Red Wings last spring, so Babcock has decidedly mixed feelings about Crosby. "I had a pretty good appreciation for him when we played against him over the last few years," Babcock said. "I had a pretty good understanding of what he can do. "The big thing, when you're around him, is you see how competitive he is, how bad he wants to be good. I think that's [true of] all the great players. People talk about talent all the time, but to me it's about soul, about how bad you want to be special. "There are lots of talented players in the game, but the real superstars have something that drives them. And he obviously has that." Read more: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10082...#ixzz0jA73Bn84

Superstars have a drive to be the best and Crosby has the talent to be the best but that drive can't be used to hurt someone. It is the league's duty to control that and they don't. This special treatment is why so many star are getting in the mess they are away from the game. What has happen to the rules being the same for everyone on the ice, field or court. Sports are a big business and they are trying to control games so the teams and players that can make them the most money go to the playoffs. Watch LaBron run a player over and that player is called for a foul. That player touches him on the other end and he is called for the foul. I am not trying to pick on any star it is the same for all stars from all pro teams. This greed has taken the game away from our kids. You need a program to know who is on your home team because your favorite players left for more money. A young boy saves his money to buy an autographed team shirt of his favorite superstar only to see him playing for the team he hates the most. I hope for the kids sake that LaBron stays in Cleveland so they can keep there star even if it hurt Detroit's chances for there future playoffs. The kids are more important then the game.

Dynarl what if Crosby was on the Redwings ? I have a feeling you would think he is the greatest player in the world. I get it, I hate Kobe but do like Lebron, love KG !! But as far as being all about the money, I hear you but they were saying the same thing about Babe Ruth. And as far as the kids, I feel bad for a lot of them, not because of their role models but because of their pushy insane parents ruining the whole experience for them. It should be about the kids, and the kids having fun and learning sportsmanship, but like you said it's all about the money and in a way it has for a long time.
On a side note, the WCHA is the greatest Hockey division in the world. SCSU !!
