insanity_gallops Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Lou -- Crosby to Pitt is good for hockey, the NHL, the franchise, new arena possibilities. (Hey, lookit that -- same stuff I said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) Don's right I wasn't tearing out my hair over Pittsburgh getting the pick cause none of the teams that turned my stomach (Rangers, Flyers, Leafs, hell even the Wings, Avs and Blues to an extent) were anywhere NEAR the #1 pick. And Anaheim who really didn't deserve it didn't get it either, at least Pittsburgh deserves it. Plus with the new unbalanced schedule, Crosby will get to play the 'large markets' of Philly and the Rangers a combined 16 times so even if he isn't in a major market per se he will get a lot of exposure in them. And with Crosby following in Mario's footsteps the Pens can build a bit of a tradition at least. Yeah it'll suck playing him but hell we had to deal with Mario all these years, we did okay (at least the last decade or so) with it.

moustic Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 ok ok... with a 23th.. what kind of player can we pick ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsadvoc8 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Just weird that 3 franchises in big trouble got the top 3 picks. I just hope they don't have Crosby and a bunch of journeymen. That would be a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 and the good thing is that he is in the eastern conference so he will get beat up a lot more than if he was in the western conference <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hope that's sarcasm. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the east is a lot more tougher than the west, he would have more room to skate if he played out in the west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 And you can bet Mario's on the phone to Kovalev A.S.A.P... "Hey, Kovy... wanna play with me and The Kid?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 yeah itll suck playing crosby but our attendance will go up since they are a division rival with the so called next great one. it reinforces that the atlantic division is the most interesting in the nhl.

NJDevs4978 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Thing is, Crosby's probably only going to play with Mario about 25 or so games, if he's lucky But Mario will be an in-house mentor for the kid at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Mario's probably only going to play weekend home games at this rate...who knows though, maybe with the addition of Crosby, he'll play all home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanity_gallops Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) So Pittsburgh gets another #1 overall pick for a highly-heralded prospect. At least it can be honestly said that they deserved this one more than the one that brought them Mario.
