Okay I don't think that the caps had ANY intention in hurting Crosby, but this shit made me fucking die laughing in class. I obviously hope Crosby is okay, but I can imagine this scene perfectly and it's hilarious

From reading the conspiracy theories on the Pens sub this is kinda funny. I know most of them might be kidding and losing the best or second best player in the world makes you think [for them] but this is hilarious.

To be fair, a good amount of Pens fans don't think it was intentional. They are all still upset about it over there of course, but they are down voting their own in some cases over here.

I was surprised (pleasantly) to see a shockingly high amount of pens fans in the gdt being reasonable about the hit. And the ragefail ones got down voted fast in a thread with far more pens flair than caps.

i hope he's ok too, so we can keep losing in the 2nd round until he retires

So many people in the penguins subreddit are convinced that us having an extra defender and players only meeting is irrefutable proof that we intended to injure him. Holy shit some people are so retarded.
50
"So many" ?
The original post came from a [supposedly] devils fan and there were a couple who voiced that opinion and the rest of us told them they are stupid.

That post has 429 upvotes, and is sitting at a +129
a lot of people there think that dude is either right, or has a point
17
Yeah but it was posted right after it happened. A lot of people most likely upvoted it out of frustration plus a lot of non Pittsburgh fans (especially Toronto fans) would of been visiting their sub to see the reaction, and upvoted the comment just because they don't like the Caps.
I still remember at times we had Toronto fans complaining about us on our sub that would have upvotes on it, not because we as Washington agree, but because a bunch of others came here and upvoted it.
tl;dr: pretty much the upvote count doesn't mean they actually think like that since the upvotes would've been from others too not just pens fans, plus it was during the heat of the moment

It's either would HAVE or would**'VE**, but never would OF.
See Grammar Errors for more information.

The exact comment with that conspiracy theory is at > 70 upvotes. lmao. What planet are these people on?
Edit: browses comment history. Holy shit you're one of them!

It's why I brought up r/conspiracy

I just caused a scene at a work meeting laughing at this.
"Did someone say they need an extra defenseman?"
28
WE KILL SID. WE KILL SID. WE KILL SID. I can just picture it. This is good shit. Made me laugh.
26
I can just picture Sid the Sloth next door overhearing the chant and freaking out. AHHHH! MANNY!!! MANNY!!!

I lost it at "Did someone say we need an extra defenseman?"

It's simple... We kill the Penguin.

I'm dying, especially over the bit about Orpik.

Backstrom screams in Swedish for 45 seconds

[Nick Backstrom screams in Swedish for 45 seconds]
Nick: So how do we beat these guys?
[A murmur fills the room]
[Alex Ovechkin stands up]
Alex: We kill Sid.
[The entire room stands up and in unison changes "We kill Sid" for two minutes]
Tom Wilson: How do you want me to do it?
Nick Backstrom: No. That's too obvious. It needs to be perfectly choreographed and preferably involve two of our most important players.
Tom Wilson: Are you sure? I can just run him from behind and when he's down, I can take my skate off and --
[Matt Niskanen interjects] Me. I will do it. I will kill Sid.
Alex Ovechkin: No, let me do it.
Matt Niskanen: No, I will do it.
[that goes back and forth for a minute]
Nick Backstrom: What if you ... both do it?
[Ovechkin and Niskanen high five]
Matt Niskanen: So should I do it after we get a lead? Or late in the game when we're about to win? So we don't cost ourselves the game?
Nick Backstrom: No. Do it early in the game. When it's 0-0. And get yourself a major penalty. And get yourself ejected too.
Matt Niskanen: I'm gonna be honest, that doesn't make much sense. If they get a five-minute power play, they could score three times and --
[Ovechkin breaks his stick over his locker]
Alex Ovechkin: There's one hole in this genius plan, Nicky.
Nick Backstrom: What, Alex?
Alex Ovechkin: We'd have to play the final 50 minutes with only five defensemen and you know what that means.
[Ovechkin's eyes strain toward Brooks Orpik]
[Ovechkin gestures toward Orpik with his thumb]
[Backstrom nods and winks]
Brooks Orpik: You guys know I can see you, right?
Nick Backstrom: So what do we do? Alex is right. There's simply no good way to kill Sid. I'm glad we used out postgame players-only meeting to discuss intentionally injuring Sid though. This is really happening. But playing with five D would be too much for us to handle. So I guess we will have to find another way.
[Barry Trotz kicks down the door and walks into the room with his arm around Karl Alzner]
Barry Trotz: Did someone say they need an extra defensemen?
[The room roars in delight]
[Chants of "We kill Sid" fill the room]

Lololol. This is awesome

One person in the Twitter comments actually thinks it's real haha.

Could someone rehost these on imgur?

Pens fan here; my buddy sent me this and it had me ROLLING.
I fucking hate all this talk about conspiracy and what not. It's fucking hockey, he got hurt, it happens.

Funny, but probably has some bit of truth.
-14
this really isn't funny and makes us all look bad
-57
I don't know what you're talking about, this is hysterical. And makes us look bad? How? Because we think a fake transcript of a player's meeting poking fun at people who think we did it on purpose is funny?
Ya need to relax buddy, its just a joke.
27
It's funny when you take into account the very real venom coming from the Pit fan base accusing our team of deliberately planning this.
From Trotz saying "something has to change" after game 2 to the fact that we dressed 7 D. There are more Pens fans that believe this was orchestrated than is actually funny.
19
so just ignore their dumb theories and take the high road.
joking about an injury that might end the world's best player's career isn't a good look, now matter how you slice it.
-16
The joke isn't about Crosby. It's about the stupid idea that the players only meeting was to talk about taking him out.

Yes, I get it. Still not funny.

Humor is a very common method of coping with terrible things.

Humor is subjective.

Classless.
-78
??? I am assuming you are referring to the Pens beat reporter that actually accused the Capitals of having just such a meeting. The same on that called Trotz a loser and suggested Ovechkin should be suspended from the playoffs.
If so, then I agree. Classless
56
Every single Pens fan has said Rob Rossi is a clown. This post is classless.

Fuck off back to your own subreddit
48
This is reddit isn't it? Sarcastic humor is what makes this place run. No-one is happy about Crosbys situation. But making fun of some douchebag reporter is perfectly in bounds. Chill.
39
Yes this is reddit, where everyone takes things way to seriously and finds any little thing they can to feel above some anonymous reddit user
5
No, this post pokes fun at an asinine conspiracy. Don't get mad when people respond to ridiculous accusations with ridiculous answers.

In that case, we're covered. Most caps fans hope Sid is ok.
18
The Brooks Orpik part is the best
And the most accurate
I don't get it. I know it's throwing well deserved shade, but I can't figure out the joke.
Basically saying that five dmen and one is Orpik we'd be fucked
[deleted]
It's funny because it's an audio recording.

I know orpik has a pretty good plus/minus, but his mistakes are always just so visible and critical that it's no wonder he draws our ire.
