John Cooper...

rallying his team before overtime that their injured captain does not want to go out a loser.

Of all the things to complain about, that one strikes me as a little odd.

I get the Crosby derangement syndrome.

I'm with you on that one.

I forgot the NHL existed.

If I'm Pittsburgh and I hear it's not worst-case scenario, I'm loving that because that tells me, hopefully, if he's even in consideration to possibly play in any of Canada's remaining games, that would mean that when he gets back for NHL, at least he'll be close, you would think.

If he can possibly play for Canada, okay, he can probably play maybe a week or whatever it might be.

I have no idea.

But if it was worst-case, like...

This is a team in Pittsburgh that, what is it, they have points in 11 of 12 going into the break or something like that?

They were hot.

So this could be a huge thing for them if it's anything long-term for Crosby.

And to your point, nobody batted an eye, even after what happened to Matthew Kachuk, even after he didn't play for the Panthers until the playoffs.

Nobody was bitching about Four Nations at all.

No disrespect to Fuentes, but nobody in the hockey sphere.

I just think it's a funny double standard if it is in fact how it plays out.

Matthew Kachuk gets hurt, misses a big chunk of the season, whatever.

Sidney Crosby gets hurt, maybe misses a game, and it's a much bigger conversation.

I'm enjoying Rose kind of driving these random sounds into the show.
