Blake Speared All Star Teammate Crosby

01/16/2007.The NHL fined NY Islanders Jason Blake a $1,000 for spearing Sidney Crosby.

[@DrZaius]

Did you see the replay? A slight jab at his crest, right at the chest protector's thickest padding. It takes a light breeze to send Crosby tumbling onto the ice.

[@EspherMercury]

There are no words to describe the commentators.

[@meanwiddlekid]

Crosby: Let's you and him fight.

[@Jay-gi6oh]

@jweich23 I understand where ur coming from and for the most part I agree with you, but there are some moments where its good to see your captain stand up for your team, even if it means sitting for 5 min.

[@stew918]

Sid's reaction is what makes this funny.. Collapses in "pain" Gets up as soon as he hears theres no whistle coming Pushes him Then skates away immediately while talking Classic crosby lol

[@Sergeio24]

i luv when ppl talk lyke this bcuz it showz they very smart and intelligentzs. Wait till his contract he's gonna jump ship so fast

[@tubingforever]

No, he's not. Not one single tear came out of his eyes.

[@Wirelesscord]

man hes got more balls than you do. He stands his own quite well

[@SpeedBallSkillz]

ye, i agree

[@hottree]

"referee!! *points at blake* he speared me!!! :(" - crosby

[@Ladyrocksavage]

I love how they spelled Thurssssssday!!

[@Hockeyevan9992]

Aww. Did I hit a nerve there man?

[@games4lifefreak]

The kids who are freaking out over Jason Blake and this incident obviously have watched Hockey for 1 year or less, lol.

[@wando25]

agreed

[@haotshy]

That's how Crosby always looks.

[@hothjoke]

good shot

[@SuperPekka]

Crosby has scored like 20 goals this season..

[@MusicPerson456]

@prosenator tell me a language where tough is spelled like though

[@prosenator]

@MusicPerson456 Sure

[@jkrx]

lol amazing dive from crosby

[@meagan127]

welcome to the leafs blake keep up the good work

[@stangsnation]

yuz rz coolz manz.. yourz so smartz addin z'sz to everythingz.. so intelligentzz

[@215_Philly_4for4]

he looked like he was crying lol

[@sayenshin]

LOL!!! even if that's a dive, that's my favorite player in the NHL!!

[@punkinhiding]

"your fucking dead" I'd like to see golden boy actually fight for once instead of running his mouth.

[@stillers736]

good one...but how can that be the first time considering he played in the stanley cup finals?

[@vandelay10]

great move by blake

[@CFLNHLFIFAFAN]

wow I knew crosby is a natural diver

[@domaug]

i saw a video with Ilya Kovalchuk and Crosby called "Kovalchuk Pointed at Crosby" or something, and the announcers (ATL) were incredibly biased! i don't see much bias by our announcers, Bob Errey and Paul Steigerwald.

[@MusicPerson456]

@prosenator Uh Yeah it is and i used to live in Canada when i made this youtube account.

[@arock1234]

it looked like blake speared crosbys sweater

[@Hockeyevan9992]

I'm sure it would too. I mean, it's not like tens of thousands of fans every single night don't do it already.

[@mkailov13]

@rowdyscot89 lol no, I wasn't trying to be one of those internet tough guys. I just don't think it was a dive.

[@prosenator]

I liked the way he grabbed Blake, and then ran away! WOW!!!! That's though stuff!

[@burritochampi]

and why would Crosby try to start something with Blake if he wasn't actually hurt... those are real emotions

[@itsalleternal]

Why was Crosby the one penalized? According to the rule book, spearing is automatically a 5 minute major penalty and an automatic game misconduct.

[@sakowihe75]

crosby was already running away from blake before he got there

[@suburbanindie]

"Pittsburgh Penguins penalty on number 87, 2-minutes for diving." hahaha that's what it should've been.

[@dirtymexician]

i know...i just had to say it though and since the user name is hockey related i was pretty sure he already knew about it lol

[@Dragoon960]

Of course they fined him to cater to Crosby. That either hit him in the side or grazed his abs. That doesn't usually cause someone to fall over clutching their stomach until they realize there's no penalty on the play. Horrible dive. Matching unsportsmanlike though.

[@guacamolechief39]

Good job Blakey

[@CaptainClutch13]

Definitely a spear, but definitely a dive too

[@boyrandom72]

lol its even better when he does fight, and wins.

[@prosenator]

@MusicPerson456 Well, I'm glad you can spell lutefisk, but I hate lutefisk. No I said: "At least I know english good enough to communicate with people who have english as their mother tounge." And that last thing about spelling a language? Where did that come from? Haha! Btw, there is no snow in South Norway in the summer, so I'm good. Jeg er glad verden har smarte mennesker som deg, som er flinke i engelsk rettskrivning. Hvordan skulle ellers verdens klart seg?

[@Hockeyfight769]

Notice as soon as crosby gives someone shit another player skates over and stops him

[@jonnyhockey]

That's not a 'spear' the way it's written in the rule book. If you take a good look at it towards the end of the video, the way the blade of the stick is angled, and the direction Blake is moving his stick, the blade was actually going away from Crosby. It got stuck in Crosby's jersey, and because he takes so much shit in the NHL, he's been conditioned to take a dive. Dirty shot by Blake? Hell yes. Dive by Sid? Hell yes once again.

[@supermonkey081]

@fieldmarshal46 Oh snap you're right... I almost forgot scoring points makes Crosby automatically not a wuss. And how could I forget that cups and medals mean an individual player carried a whole team and the rest of the people in the lineup were just there to fill the roster so that one, individual person could look good. My bad. Carry on.

[@ehcaps]

Crosby should have gotten the unsportsmanlike, Blake should have gotten the fine. No worse than Ovechkins hit from behind on Briere. Major loss of respect for Crosby for skating away from Blake instead of beating his ass and from the penguins as a whole for standing up for their star. If that was the star on any other team, Blake would have been bloody. Partly the NHL's fault for the instigator rules in the 3rd period. BRING BACK OLD TIME HOCKEY!!

[@games4lifefreak]

If you want to talk about the "best" hockey players, the only name that can be mentioned is Bobby Orr. Kty.

[@sabresman31]

ooo crosby threatened me im so scared!!!

[@Jay-gi6oh]

@jweich23 I think Jarome Iginla would say other wise.

[@flyersfan10]

when has crosby ever dropped the gloves? are you joking?

[@sniperstar]

yes but if he said that why doesn't he attack Blake 0-0 instead he went into the locker room

[@JeffClancy1966]

My grandma could shrug off that "spear". Take another dive buddy!

[@pruane2isgod]

then why was he nowhere near the scoring lead, he was down by like 20 goals, and dont even say it was because he was gone, he was gone for like 5 games, he could have scored 8 goals max

[@smb7266]

and people say jack edwards is a homer ya right

[@suburbanindie]

@fieldmarshal46 lol... if by "drops the gloves" you mean "throws a hissy fit and has his bigger, tougher teammates step up for him (even against a guy like Blake who is among the smallest in the league)", you'd be right. Jason Blake had cancer and played all 82 games that season. Crosby cries when he runs out of Corn Flakes in the morning.

[@DrZaius]

Christ, breathe on him and he tumbles. Get off the ice, Crosbaby.

[@piecka32]

Cheapshot yes, No way it was hard enough to cause such a reaction, and if it really hurt Cindy that bad then he shouldn't be playing a contact sport.

[@Jazga]

As a nucks fan I love all the whiny Eastern fans crying about Sid.

[@SpiritMatthias]

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks of the spear being intentional or not, the puck wasn't anywhere fucking near Crosby. Why's he poking at his gloves in the first place

[@Hockeyevan9992]

I'm typing. Not talking. Therefore, me "sounding" like anything to you is out of the question.

[@poksi360]

sid the kid is great

[@DWik88]

no he doesnt! he just goes down... common!!!

[@redwingz1998]

@flyersfan10 hes dropped them a few times but against non fighters

[@M374L4L1F3]

You can tell it's a Penguins home game....what game was the announcer watching, Blake is one of my least favorite players, but a suspendable offence?? Syd then uttered a death threat...and the announcer may as well have stood up and cheered....sad

[@JJ68Czechmate]

lmfao go jason blake

[@realchris1]

crosby comes out of the box...YOUR FUCKIN DEAD...YOUR FUCKING DEAD!

[@flyersfan10]

pittsburgh's local broadcast commentary is laughable

[@WingsOfAnemia]

@Hockeyfight769 lol OV did the same thing against tampa

[@catney11]

Jesus christ for a player with all the skill in the world Crosby is such a diver. Like honestly come on. He it the crest and the quote " spear " came from the side, not head on. I don't even think it made contact with his mid-section. Crosby has mad , if he just score/set's up goals and stops being a drama queen, nobody will have anything issues with you

[@Visfen]

$1,000 ? Why not make real fines. Like let's say.. $100,000. Then maybe people would stop targeting the great players just to injure them.

[@dstevenson76]

Let's see, Crosby gets a light spear to the gut, pushes Jason Blake and then skates away (with the refs there), comes out of the box after the game, and waits to make sure he can get away, then starts threatening him. PANSY!

[@bennhh]

Because Tucker and fear just go hand in hand these days, right? Nice effort though.

[@emjayar08]

that was much dirtier than downie's great hit...

[@xcheario978x]

the announcers are right,, even if blake didnt hurt him, he still speared him and tried to hurt him, and should be suspended for that.

[@AwesomeBobz]

If the players use the stick as a weapon in any way they should be banned from the NHL forever.

[@sniperstar]

0-0 Blake didn't even touch Crosby's body it was his under armor xD you can tell by how the jersey pops out during the so called "spear" but Crosby took a dive no offence but he took the dive and thats why he got a penalty

[@russoswife1812]

are u kidding me.

[@hockeyhubbub]

@damienmetalwind But it wasn't a hit Crosby took Damien, it was a spear! If you play hockey, which I have all my life, you'll know that there is very little padding or protection for the stomach area. Getting speared there really does hurt. And "Countwolfula" is totally correct. Jason Blake was not popular with a lot of Leafs fans here in Toronto. He was talented, but seen as a bit of a bad tempered, surly sort. We Leafs fans were very happy to unload his oversized contract! ...Just sayin!!

[@supermonkey081]

@fieldmarshal46 I really don't know anything about Blake's fight history. Nor did I say, at any point in my comments, that I was backing or supporting him. If you would like to reread my posts you might notice that I was commenting on the cowardice of Crosby... Like how he never removes his visor when someone tries to fight him. Either way the thing we need to look at is why are you basing your "support" on who has the best hair? If that were the case you'd be a fan of a 1970s Joe Namath.

[@boyrandom72]

have you heard pittsburghs tv announcers ? theyre just as loud when another team scores. making fun of the other team is not being biased. they'll name an opposing player "player of the game". i agree though, that 90 percent isnt like pittsburgh.

[@MusicPerson456]

@prosenator Good job you can use Google translate! And yeah that is basically what you said. Also Congratulations! you know that in some places in the world in the summer there’s no snow :O! I didn't think you would know that much. Im heureux il ya des gens dans le monde comme vous qui pensent qu'ils savent tout et ont de penser le monde tomberait sans eux. Haha! Btw there’s some French for ya.

[@19Stifler96]

lol

[@Shane444888]

if he hit Crosby just under the shoulder pads that could hurt a little. But its hard to tell from this video

[@jakal04]

Obviously you don't know much about hockey. Crosby and Ovechkin are both amazing players, but are a different types. Crosby is a playmaker, while OV is a scorer, obviously he is going to have less goals. Points is the only number in the end that really matters. Which btw Crosby was ahead when he got injured and likely would have broken last years record of 120.

[@hypeduponcandy]

thats right run away crosby

[@Truber190]

it just barly touched his jersy not body and he still dropped to the ground

[@AdamCorreia]

If it was any other player no fine would have been issued. I'm sick of Sidney Crosby being protected by the NHL and the officials. Someday soon Crosby will get his ass kicked and I'll be there to laugh. He needs it.

[@upsstore]

ahahahahahah he pushed him and ran away!

[@boyrandom72]

well i highly doubt that. the only kids who call themselves an enforcer are the ones playing NHL10. or are you saying you get 5 minutes of ice time a game and try to lay hits.

[@Bwillev]

he was crying in the penalty box

[@pokefreak0303]

Does anybody besides pens fans like Crosby?

[@Hockeyfight769]

It was a dive it wasn't hard enough to go down and then to cause a reaction like that

[@4znwarrior10]

hahahah go blake do that again to malkin this time! and crosby too i wanna see him cry or ask for backup from oveckhkin

[@TimboBandit]

Incredible embellishment.

[@soccerman2297]

i broke my ribs in hockey and i got up and scored on the same shift if i can do that crosby can suck up a little spear that didnt injur him

[@Tubular_tommy]

dive

[@-_-Code-_-]

man anything thats intent to injure is crapola theres no room in the game or life for that

[@jkrx]

Ive been speared like that.. You dont fall down by that unless blake got the strength of 10 men in his arms.. it was a cheapshot but crosby dove right down in fetus position and started crying like a baby
