What Can I Say that Hasn't Already Been Said by the Pensblog??!!!!

They pretty much covered it all with their Monday post, "Look Out. It's Butt Pummeler," about this new "Crosby Sucks" song and the band who performs it. I would suggest you visit the boys over at the Pensblog since this post is really worth the read!!

Here's a short summary if you haven't heard about all the hubbub.

The focus is on this "anti-Crosby" song written / performed by a band called Pummeler who consist of Craps Caps fans and sibling band members "Lord Jupitor," "Philosoraptor," and "OBM" (YES - I am being serious!). The supporting cast: DC Sports Bog and PUCK DADDY.

DC Sport Bog posted an interview he conducted with Pummeler on Monday which talks about their latest song. Of course its full of Crosby-bashing (I know, surprising!).

Puck Daddy's role in all of this is a little more "subtle" as the Pensblog believes that he quickly picked up on the story for an increase in hits (which is a bit hypocritical since it's believed that Puck Daddy is infamous for being "anti-Crosby" himself - just read a few of his Crosby posts and it's quite apparent).

Greg of Yahoo's PUCK DADDY, the preeminent hockey blog on the Internet, went to Gander Mtn. to find some website-hit fishing lures.
Gander Mtn, a.k.a. DC SPORTS BOG.

Here's a sample of Pulitzer Prize-winning lyrics (for the lyrics to the entire song, visit Pummeler's MySpace "Lyrics" page):

Canadian sensation well at least on certain stations
a poster child for francophiles who dance to Zombie Nation
all his fans are moronswho defend his every stunt
and the "C" that's on his chestwell it really stands for...

Poetic, isn't it?!!

And here's a fellow Pens fan's thoughts on this whole debacle which pretty much sums it all up for me too:

Go read some statistics boys. Before you think up subjects for your songs. The only reason Ovetchkin looks better, to the casual eye. Is the same reason that Crosby looks closer to average. THE OVERALL DEPTH OF THE TEAM. That and the fact that in my humble opinion, you could give Ovi 2 or 3 charging penalties every game that never get called. Makes it tons easier to score.

This also leads me to the Pensblog Pièce de résistance:

"Crosby sucks like laser pucks (Pensblog edit: good line),
though you can dress him up with lipstick,
you can't photoshop statistics"

NHL career points-per-game:
Crosby: 1.38.
Ovechkin: 1.29.

We don't have to photoshop statistics.
But we can photoshop a "First Round of the Playoffs" patch on the Caps' sweaters.
