Hockey fans

Hey I'm from PIttsburgh, played hockey for 17 years, and even I have to admit it does get old seeing Sid the Kid on everything. YES he is a great player, and YES there are going to be folks who hate him for that. Just like the camps that loved Gretzky and hated Lemieux and vice versa. You have that in every sport, the key is the sport gets to grow. And why do you see so much of Sid and OV. Because they sell tickets. Lets face it some teams only sell outs in a season is when Crosby or Ovechkin show up to play. Same as it was in the past with Gretzky, Lemieux, Bobby Orr, Gordy Howe, etc etc etc etc.

ITS the same with baseball (everyone appears to hate the yankees, but they sell out road games for losing teams) folks hate the Mannings but they sell out road football games. Hell the Steelers are sold out for 15 years, and they have roughly 10-20,000 fans who travel to road games when they can get the tickets.

Its just sports.....

True fans no more about the lesser known players...... Hell tell me what you think about Letang's points streak? Or your thoughts on how Robby Brown was basically a bucket on skates for Lemieux to bounce pucks of of? Or your thoughts on Mark Messier without Gretzky? Or great your thoughts on Probert?

So with out the great players we never get to see the ones that make them look great.
