Five Guys We Didn’t Want to See Raise the Cup
June 12, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Sidney Crosby
Now we have to deal with even more magazine covers, commercials and undeserved pronouncements of singular greatness. Thank goodness this Finals appearance will be Crosby’s last.
Jordan Staal
The least-skilled Penguin. Well, at least of the ones that are expected to be skilled. Weak skating, passing and questionable maturity. But a Cup. Doesn’t change that he ain’t a playa.
Brooks Orpik
Classless thug. One of the best examples of what’s wrong with the game.
Bill Guerin
A decent old veteran but far too favoured by the media that covers him and kisses his ass.
Hal Gill
Classless and useless thug.
Five Guys We Didn’t Mind Seeing Raise the Cup
Mario Lemieux
Good to see the greatest player the game has ever seen raise the Cup again.
Evgeni Malkin
Maybe people will stop questioning his skill level now that he has a Conn Smythe. But I doubt it.
Miroslav Satan
Class player, finishing up in style. If he retires.
Marc-Andre Fleury
Proved that he is more than a great athlete.
Mathieu Garon
The underrated goalie took a circuitous and unnoticed route to the Chalice.
