TFoA Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 How big of a rivalry was Caps-Pens before Ovechkin and Crosby though?http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...9050103793.htmlThey've played each other 7 times in the playoffs, and were in the same division for 11 years. That's been a rivalry for a while now. If anything, Ovechkin & Crosby are just heating the rivalry up. Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamikel Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Deion Sanders was a master of jumping across rivalry lines. Coming out of college, Deion started his career with the Atlanta Falcons.And as soon as his contract was up, he bolted for division rival San Francisco (Remember that the 49ers and Falcons used to be in the same division? Yeah, it took me a while too.)He then jumped ship to the team that probably kept the 49ers from winning a couple more Super Bowls in the early 90s, the Dallas Cowboys.From there, he high-stepped his way to Washington, to play for the Cowboys' mortal enemies, the Redskins.Was he done? Most people would be, but Neon Deion still had one more trick up his non-elastic sleeve. The obvious choice would have been to stick with another NFC East team, but as that option wasn't available, he took the next-best option and went to the team that dares challenge the Redskins for a fan base, the Baltimore Ravens.

maz Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 How big of a rivalry was Caps-Pens before Ovechkin and Crosby though?Pretty big. The pens and caps met in the playoffs 7 times in 10 years (90-91 thru 00-01), with the pens losing once, despite trailing 6 of the meetings. When both teams fell to the basement of the NHL, the rivalry receded, until recently with the Malkin/Crosby vs. Ovechkin player rivalry and their instant-classic 8th playoff series in this past playoffs (another pens comeback win). The fact that it died out a bit recently and is presently bigger than it ever was (id say its bigger than the Pens-Flyers rivalry now) makes the old days of the rivalry seem not as big, but it was a considerable rivalry then nonetheless. Jagr going to Washington certainly didn't make it any easier for pens fans to forgive him for his attitude before he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I got to Mellon Arena in Crosby's "early days". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgundy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 From there, he high-stepped his way to Washington, to play for the Cowboys' mortal enemies, the Redskins.That never happened. It was all an elaborate illusion. Few people know that he was actually replaced by another assclown who looked suspiciously similar. Why? No one is certain. Unfortunately, the plan backfired horrendously, and this stand-in assclown ran off with millions of completely unearned dollars, never to be seen again.

sc49erfan15 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I realize this Raiders-49ers rivalry thing is now scraping the bottom of the barrel. Nevertheless:Kwame Harris:Terry Kirby:Jeremy Newberry:Rick Mirer was also a 49er and Raider, but apparently no pictures of him as a 49er exist.
