I think Lidstrom was classy and probably right to give Crosby the easy out by chalking it up to inexperience--but someone from Pittsburgh should have had the class to whisper to the kid to shake hands with them. As for Hossa, screw him. It's people like him (the ones tha ignore the fans that have been paying their salary for years) that have made me lose interest in Major League Baseball, the NFL, and the NBA. So far I can still stomach the NHL, since most of its players are nromal considerate human beings, but Hossa is evidence that my NHL watching days may soon be over.
